Every so often, the planets align and cosmic forces bless us with a very unique opportunity. Ferrari of Long Island was able to showcase the beauty of Ferrari: past, present and future.

The official Ferrari North America F8 Spider demonstrator is finished in the historic color Giallo Modena, and it recently arrived to their showroom in Long Island. They were also fortunate enough to have in their inventory the three predecessors of the latest open-top Ferrari V8 sports car, all finished in Giallo Modena.

Since the first 1947 125S to the 2020 488 Pista, Ferrari has always stuck to the mentality that performance, styling, and technology is an ongoing evolution. Well, the same exact thought goes into the Scuderia Ferrari clothing line. The most recent release of the fall/winter 2020 collection is sure to pair well for both the owner with an 812 Superfast in the garage, as well as any fan of Ferrari working towards the dream of owning one. The newest styles take on a “less is more” approach, being that quality, functionality, and simplicity are the drivers. As seasons change, the Italian car manufacturer delivers the outerwear and accessory must-have’s in samples using the finest materials. The fall/winter release includes hats, jackets, shirts, polos, jeans, sneakers, and other accessories. Whether it is on or off the track, Ferrari has you covered from head to toe during the cooler months.

Jackets

When choosing a jacket from the new collection, it’s similar to the process of choosing the interior to your own personal Ferrari. The choice of materials includes fine Italian crafted leather, eco-friendly recycled softshell, or lush genuine down nylon. Ferrari provides an array of color options to the non-leather materials that match production paint codes such as Rosso Corsa, Blu Scozia, and Grigio Medio. A limited-edition jacket has been added to the collection that truly stands out: a waterproof full zip that features the Italian flag, crafted entirely from the country that produces the notorious supercars. This was produced to pay homage to creativity of Italian design and quality, which is the center of how Ferrari operates as a manufacturer.

Shirts

The shirts featured in the fall/winter 2020 collection vary for multiple occasions just like the driving modes that can be found on a Ferrari steering wheel. They range from comfortable to sport driven, as well as a track ready option to really turn heads when it matters. The comfortable option includes a short-sleeved t-shirt with the option of a small Ferrari shield or a technical F1 vehicle print. The sport style includes both a short and long-sleeved polo style shirt with the added option of an Italian flag collar. Finally, the track ready limited-edition polo features Italian flag patterns on each of the shoulders. The color options for Ferrari’s new shirts are white, black, Rosso Corsa, and Blu Scozia.

Shoes

Ferrari has bridged the gap between track-use footwear and streetwear sneakers once again with help from the team over at Puma Motorsport. The focus is on functionality to both keep your foot on the gas through the perfect apex, as well as enjoy casual activities throughout the day without needing change of shoes. The newest released pairs come in two low cut minimalistic silhouettes, as well as mid-rise for more ankle support. The uppers are constructed from soft breathable nylon and genuine soft leather, while the soles are crafted from rubber for the grip needed for any situation. Each pair showcases an aggressive black, red, and white colorway with added hints of Scuderia Ferrari logos.

Accessories

As the temperatures begin to drop over the next few months, Ferrari has added some accessories to the lineup to help keep warm. Winter hats and scarfs are offered in a variety of classic Ferrari colors and styles, all sporting the prancing horse. Also included are some classic fitted caps, using lightweight materials like twill, eco-friendly recycled plastic, and premium suede. All of these products feature the Ferrari shield with various color options.

Ferrari’s hybrid hypercar was introduced at the Geneva Auto Show in 2013, and limited to 499 examples. Because the LaFerrari coupe sold out before their big 70th Anniversary, the decision was made to remove the roof. The last time such a car was offered, the F50 required a storage case larger than a piano box to safely store the carbon fiber roof. A removable hardtop would change the car’s weight distribution and handling, so Ferrari chose the most difficult solution.

You can’t simply reinforce a few parts of the chassis and expect a roadster to have the same torsional response and cornering abilities of a coupe. Therefore, the LaFerrari Aperta shares similar lines, but it is essentially a different car. The cloth roof required a new windshield structure, door sills, and suspension tuning. Creating a niche to store the roof required the radiator and fans to offer the same heat rejection while creating a slipstream that doesn’t cause cockpit turbulence. After all this, production was limited to 210 cars.

With such limited production, Ferrari didn’t make a profit on the program. What they did was to allow their most valued customers to personalize their most powerful roadster. This is one such example that was delivered to a prominent Denver collector on October 7th of 2017. Instead of the regular-production Bianco Avus white, he opted for triple-layer “Extracampionario” Bianco Italia with Giallo (Yellow) accents throughout the black interior.

From here, he proceeded to order everything under the sun. From the Personalization Pack, Track Inner Cams, all optional carbon fiber, yellow calipers, sport exhaust, stripes, paint protection film, suspension lift, telemetry, car cover, and the Classiche Program. With only 675 miles, it shows no signs of wear inside or out, and that is why chassis #225883 would look great in your collection.

As the Capital of the Lonestar State, Austin was once relegated to government offices and oilfield workers. Once PBS aired the first episode of Austin City Limits in 1976, the city has transformed into a mecca for music, art, architecture, and technology. Given the low cost of living and great employment opportunities, our friends at Ferrari of Austin keep the streets stocked with the latest in Italian supercars. We have been advocating #FerrariFriday for years, and now it is catching on. Thanks to incredible filming by by @ethanglanger and @mattvconnor, we can watch a Rosso Fiorano F8 Tributo do what it does best. Please don’t attempt such driving on public roads.
