Exacto The Ferrari brand has long been synonymous with power, thanks to the superior performance and cutting edge technologies offered by its cars. However, this power has never compromised in any way the class, styling and elegance of the GTs. The result is a unique image, instantly recognisable the world over. To further enhance this image and as a testament to the reliability of the Ferrari product, we are now introducing the Ferrari Pre-Owned Warranty. POWER (Pre Owned Warranty for Exclusive Retail) was created to meet the needs of clients who want a warranty for their car that extends beyond the standard period covered by the manufacturer's warranty. ADVANTAGES: Warranty: The new package means that your car can be covered for up to 10 years; Spares and repairs are covered and all work will be carried out by the professional mechanics of Ferrari's Official Assistance Centres. Pre-owned value: Another plus if you choose to sell on your car; The vehicle remains under warranty even if it changes ownership Safety and peace of mind: You can travel all over Europe in complete tranquillity, thanks to the 24h/7d Roadside Assistance Service REQUIREMENTS: The car must undergo an inspection by Ferrari's Official Network to certify its conformity (tallying of car's assistance history, service coupons, ordinary and extraordinary maintenance work carried out by Ferrari's Official Network; conformity of car to type approval requirements as specified by manufacturer) The coverage applies only to cars with a maximum entry mileage of 90,000 km All you need to do to sign up for the service you is go to any Dealership belonging to the Authorised Ferrari Dealership Network. POWER CUBE: the fourth and/or fifth year warranty POWER CUBE is a full warranty that offers the equivalent coverage as the manufacturer's warranty; It lasts one year and can be repeated for further year; it can be purchased only if the additional year of warranty has been subscribed to, or the vehicle has a commercial warranty coverage of thirty-six months from the time of purchase POWER NORMAL : the sixth year warranty POWER NORMAL is the Ferrari Pre-Owned Warranty offered for cars for which the manufacturer's warranty has expired and which are six years old or under; The warranty can be renewed and so the period of cover can be up to four years; It covers the main areas of the car: engine, transmission, trim and electrics. POWER TRAIN: the 10th year warranty This warranty only covers the gearbox and the engine and is available for cars under nine years old, for which the manufacturer's warranty has expired. Power Train is a flexible warranty and so may be purchased at any time. However, there are two scenarios: Purchase between expiry of manufacturer's warranty and sixth year (Option 1); Purchase between the seventh and ninth year of the car's life (Option 2). The Power Train Warranty can be repeated several times to cover the entire period of possible coverage. However, its purchase excludes the purchase of any other successive warranty product. However, by purchasing the various Ferrari Pre-owned Warranties in succession you will be able to cover your car for a period of up to 10 years. Note: The Ferrari Pre-owned Warranty Programme applies only to Ferrari cars with Warranty commencement dates of nine years or under, excluding special and limited edition series (the F50 and Enzo Ferrari). Please also remember that all new Ferrari sold worldwide are with a three-year manufacturer's warranty.

Em 1995 a revista Inglesa CAR, levou um F512 M ao deserto do Sahara. Aqui vai a historia. (Part 1) Thirteen years ago, CAR came up with a brilliant wheeze of driving a Ferrari to Africa. It was the first time we had attempted such an adventure with a Ferrari and we were surprised when Maranello agreed. Richard Bremner is your guide, as we drive an F512M down to the sand dunes of the Sahara. Read our full unabridged story over the next few pages The Ferrari is 100 yards in front, and it looks as if its on fire. Engulfed in the raging swirl, it is identifiable only by the fierce circular glow of its tail-lights. Its dark, and they look like the veiled eyes of a monster. The Ferrari is edging ahead, nosing about among the soft, shadowy contours of a dirt nothingness that appears to be everywhere, and leads to nowhere. Im watching a Ferrari F512M driving into the Sahara. The storm raging over it is not smoke but dust, Saharan sand spat by the tyres and whipped skywards by the engines roaring cooling fans. It is truly, profoundly dark out here. The only light comes from our cars and a night sky spattered with stars whose glow goes unseen by most Europeans. We are alone. We are heading for the Saharan dunes of Erg Chebbi. Why, you might wonder, would we want to take a Ferrari to the Sahara? To get a great drive, is the short answer. Morocco has some fantastic roads jaw-droppingly scenic, open, fast, and free of radar. The sort of place where a supercar can roam unmolested by police or other traffic. I rang Shell to check the availability of unleaded in Morocco. No problem, came the answer. There are unleaded stations every 100km or so. We faxed Ferrari. Could we borrow a £138,000 F512M to go to Morocco for a few days, please? Well, youve got to try, havent you? But Ferrari said yes. PR man Antonio Ghini had even been thinking of an unusual road trip with an F512M. Whether this involved the Sahara he didnt say, but yes, we could have an F512M. We hastily made our plans, wondering how long it would be before Ghini saw the lunacy of our venture. I would take the car from Maranello out of Italy, through France and into Spain, meeting Colin Goodwin and photographer Tim Wren in Malaga. They had driven from London to Malaga in CARs long-term-test Vauxhall Omega, which we would use as a back-up car. We would head for Algeciras, and take the ferry to Tangier. What awaited us there we didnt quite know The F512 I collect is virtually new. It has 2600km on its odometer, paint the colour of blood and a spare wheel in the passenger seat. The spare is there because an F512M has different tyre sizes front to rear. Figuring that well be unlikely to drive into a Moroccan Kwik Fit and collect a Pirelli 295/35 ZR18 P Zero off the shelf should a tyre get shredded, we have a front wheel and tyre stowed up front, and a rear beside me (it wont fit in the boot) where it is to become a sometimes over-intimate companion. As I leave Ferrari with the precious key in my hand, Ghinis colleague Giovanni Perfetti shouts after me: When dyou think youll be back? Well, I dont quite know, I admit. Maybe 10, 12 days it depends. OK. Good luck. Ciao. Thats it. I leave, feeling like Ive pulled off a bank robbery. Modena to Malaga is a long way, and though its mostly motorway, I dont see Wren and Goodwin till midnight a day and a half later. But a F512M is great for a long-distance thrash like this. Keep your speeds sane (as you must in radar-riddled France) and its not even that noisy. Relax as you surf on that great wave of power, listen to the flat-12 and discover that the seats are surprisingly comfortable, even after a dozen hours. There are just two problems: the spare tyres habit of heeling into my lap through right-handers means that I have to steer one-handed through the twists of southern Spain to support it. And, more serious, the engine has a misfire. And were nowhere near Morocco. I wonder whether to try to find a Ferrari dealer in Malaga the following day. And then, as it worsens, I wonder how Im going to get the car towed to a dealer at 11.30pm on a Tuesday night somewhere south of Alicante. But all is well: the Ferrari gets there. Perhaps its complaining at working a 14-hour shift. The following day, bright, blue and balmy, the misfire vanishes and our worries recede, to be replaced by thoughts of what will happen when we get to the Moroccan customs. Mainly what happens is that we do a lot of waiting. And a lot of answering questions, plus a lot of opening its assorted lids to reveal its engine and enable the Man With A Screwdriver to check that we arent carrying drugs. After peering into various orifices he taps the sills and wings with such a ferocity that I wonder whether well need a panelbeater. After several hours, much arguing over Wrens walkie-talkies eventually confiscated and the pay-off of various helpers (you cant avoid being helped if youre a foreigner in Morocco) were off into the teeming mêlée of Tangier. To our first petrol station, in fact, which has unleaded. With brimmed tanks and a burst of optimism we head south-west towards Casablanca. The road is good but slow and busy. Even in the dark you can see peoples astonishment at the Ferrari as we pass through towns, interest peaking when were flagged down by the police. Flashing my schoolboy French (widely spoken in Morocco, the country having been a colony) I explain what were doing to a baffled but friendly policeman, who wishes us bonne route. And were soon to have it. Not far short of Rabat is a motorway, a new, wide dual carriageway, as black and as smooth as ebony. This is Moroccos first péage, and when we reach the tollbooth halfway along it there is only one thing to do. The road is new, its deserted, its late at night and we have a Ferrari. I want to hear what it sounds like at 150mph, says Goodwin. So he and Wren drive on ahead to wait for the thunder. Even a road this wide starts to feel a little narrow at 120mph, so I decide to centre the car on the white lines to bag the final 30mph. I nudge the accelerator deeper, hear the engine note drop a key as it shoulders to the task and watch the white lines lancing the 512s nose coming at us so fast that they meld to a continuous thread. All I can see is the Armco in the middle, the white lines and the asphalt. Everything else is black. The speedo needle closes on 150mph as the engines bellow is drowned by the rush of air worrying the door seals, and I can just see two lone figures and an Omega in my peripheral vision. What does it sound like from outside? A bit disappointing you can only hear it pushing through the air and the tyre roar. We couldnt hear the engine at all, reports Goodwin. We hit Casablanca at midnight a sprawling modern town not remotely like the Hollywood version. Booking into a preposterously expensive western hotel because it is open and promises secure parking, we retire for food. Once booked in, we discover that the secure parking consists of leaving the cars outside, where they will be eyed all night by a gardien des voitures. Figuring that he is unlikely to have a hotline to an international gang of car thieves, we leave the Ferrari to its fate, wondering only fleetingly how to make one of those well, it was like this phone calls to Italy if it disappears. But it doesnt. The gardien does, however, and is replaced by another, demanding more dirhams for the morning shift. Never mind: the cars are intact. We leave, soon to turn south for Marrakech. Or so we think. Not far out of town Im waved down by a policeman. He compliments us on the car, and asks where we are going. Marrakech, I say. And you know where you are going? Oh yes, I reply, confident that since we can see the sea to our north, it will not be long before we spot a road heading south. You sure? he asks. I confirm that I am. Alors, bonne route, he finishes. Five miles later were lost. Well, not exactly lost, because we are heading south, if on a road getting narrower, rougher and emptier by the metre. Soon it isnt a road at all. Its a road under construction, populated with JCBs, trucks and mystified construction workers. Our route provides an early test of the Ferraris off-roading abilities, which seem rather good. It doesnt ground, and it doesnt get stuck. Instead, it emerges into a small village dragging a trawl of dust and the stares of amazed onlookers behind it. We feel a little uneasy about Marrakech. The Djemaa el Fna is our goal, a large open space in the Medina where people gather to walk, talk, eat and be entertained by snake-charmers, story-tellers, musicians and fair games, which can also include tourists. It will be a pretty extraordinary place to take a Ferrari, but it may also be a one-way trip. It may get mobbed, it may get nicked and we may get threatened in the mistaken, if completely reasonable, believe that were loaded. Once were on it, the main road to Marrakech is good single carriageway but smooth, brisk and surrounded by increasingly barren scenery. The earth turns a pinky-orange, the route marked by groups of men selling chickens, fish and oranges which they optimistically wave at passing cars. Eventually we see Marrakech in the distance, the Atlas Mountains rising improbably behind it. Its a scene that makes you feel foreign, but not as foreign as you do when you drive a Ferrari into Djemaa el Fna. We do this in company with the inevitable (but essential) guide. Ashimi says that hes been in a Ferrari before, and that he learned the catering trade at a college outside New York. It slowly dawns that the occasional smell of bull ordure is emanating not from the market but from the Ferraris passenger seat, but never mind he proves a great guide, arranging snake-charmers and a drive through back alleys almost narrow enough to wedge the Ferrari. How do people react to it? Theyre amazed, amused, intrigued. Hardly anyone has heard of Ferrari, except two young blokes on a moped who ask if its a Lamborghini Diablo competitor. No-one is hostile, even when a huge crowd, ten deep, gathers around the car while Wren is snapping a cobra on its roof. On page 338 of the splendid Rough Guide to Morocco is a small note, entitled Winter Travel in the High Atlas. Its worth reading if you plan to go that way in January. We do, but we havent. Note that the High Atlas are subject to snow from November to the end of February, and even the major Tizi nTichka pass can be closed for periods of a day or more, it warns. Well, theres no sign of snow south of Marrakech. Its warm and cloudless, the road almost empty. Eventually it begins to climb, sometimes in extravagant sweeps, increasingly in tight twists demanding a hard haul on Ferraris unassisted wheel. Pink-orange soil gradually gives way to grey-green rock, and we pass through a village notable for nothing other than a pair of large gates, besides which a trio of snow ploughs are parked. This is the snow-line. The gates are open, and we surge on, anticipating wonderful roads. And they are. I feel like the bloke driving that Lamborghini Miura in the opening scene of The Italian Job, hurtling through curves, 12 cylinders blaring, feet skipping on the pedals, arms twirling, right arm battering the silver-balled gearstick. The difference, Im pleased to report, is that I dont come to a pyrotechnic end in a tunnel, although theres plenty of scope for plunging into a ravine. I drive with the windows open, the better to hear the exhaust ricochet off the rock face. From outside, this must sound like Armageddon. We stop for snaps near a man selling a particularly uninteresting range of rocks. Youre lucky, he says. This road is usually under three metres of snow in January. But theres no snow to be seen. As we crest the mountains the road turns worse, narrower, more ripply. Grey-green gives way to pink-orange again, only this time theres little vegetation. Eventually we see curved shapes emerging from the ground. Dunes. Suddenly, were at the edge of the desert. For the first time, we feel a long, long way from home. En panne, en panne. We are being shouted at by a Moroccan standing by a beige Peugeot 205 diesel. He has broken down can we give him a lift to the next village? The Rough Guide advises against giving lifts in circumstances like these, but after some debate, we take the risk were in the middle of nowhere and driving by seems uncharitable. And so Mohamed Ouzamou climbs aboard the Omega. He will not be getting out at the next village. As well as Erg Chebbi, we decide to visit MHamid also in the Sahara. Our road is metalled, but narrow and far from smooth, which limits the Ferraris pace. But you wouldnt want to go flat out anyway, so impressive is the view. After a few miles the road begins its climb through the anti-Atlas, a ridge of mountains so visibly stratified that they appear to have been raked by a giant plough. The drops are spectacular. The drive to MHamid is 130 miles and its 80 to Zagora, where Mohamed says he now wants to go despite the appearance of several garages. Well before that, we enter the mouth of the Drâa Valley, where were greeted by impossibly biblical scenes. The floor of the valley is crowded with date palms, a green carpet binding cliffs the colour of sunset. The road is peppered with villages sucking a living from the river, its waters tapped to irrigate the palms via a fabulously complex network of gutters and channels.
(Part 2) When we get to Zagora, Goodwin and Wren have established that Mohamed speaks good English, that he really hasnt much else to do today and if we like, he can take us to some dunes beyond Zagora. So he comes with us. The dunes are unimpressive, despite the Tuareg encampment nearby, so we press on to MHamid. We climb from a plain to another ridge of mountains, only to be confronted by another dish of land. In the middle of it I stop and get out of the car, to take it in. The silence is near absolute. I hear a fly, and the ticking metal of the hot Ferrari, but nothing else. The sky is enormous, the plain completely bounded by mountains whose purples, reds and greys can be made out through the haze. Stepping back into the car, I push hard to catch the others. The road is single track, but you can see for miles. It crests another ridge, from where it ribbons across the next valley, and arrow-straight path broken by three or four bends. Within minutes, the Ferrari has howled its way to the other side in an unfettered blaze of consumptive excess. Theres no-one about, nothing to hit but the gravel at the roads edge and the rev limiter. Theres no radar, no police and no stopping. This is how to use a Ferrari. MHamid is an uninteresting town notable for kids extremely interested in relieving tourists of pens, money and anything else they can proffer. We negotiate a sandy back alley, a couple of kids riding shotgun on the 512s rear wings, and reach the end of the road, the deserts edge. The surface is flat, a baked crust littered with black shards of rock. It may be winter, but you can almost see the heat. It is actually only 26deg C, but it can reach 54. Beyond here lie thousands of miles of desolation. But we must turn back. We decide to give Mohamed a ride in the Ferrari. He hasnt been in one before. Nor has he been in a plane, a train or a car travelling faster than 60mph. I tell him to signal if were going too fast. When we hit the ribbon-straight stretch of road again I wind the 512 out to a thundering 125mph in third before braking hard for an apparently pointless right-hand bend. Mohamed says nothing, although he seems wide-eyed and a little tense in the shoulders. The next straight is longer. The engine trumpets its double-bass backbeat as I sink the throttle again and the tacho needle advances relentlessly. Nearly 140mph. The road seems a little narrow for anything more, and in any case, I dont want Mohamed to think Im a sadist. Hes already suspiciously silent. Before we drop him off, he insists that we visit his carpet shop to meet his brother and have some tea. (Are you surprised?) In 20 minutes a dozen carpets litter the floor. In 40 minutes Mohameds brother is one carpet lighter and I have an addition for my living room that I hadnt quite expected to buy. In 50 minutes we bid our farewells, and notice a beige Peugeot 205 diesel outside the shop. Still, it has been quite a day for Mohamed. Hes going to appear in a magazine, hes travelled seriously fast, and hes £230 better off now that Ive bought a rug. The next day, we head east for Er Rachidia via the towering Todra gorge, whose magnificence is only slightly undermined by fleets of German camper vans. In Er Rachidia we must refuel before striking south for Erg Chebbi. Which is where we have a momentary panic. Because there is no unleaded petrol in Er Rachidia. Nor is there much unleaded petrol in our tanks. Not enough to get north, to Fes. And not enough to go back to where weve just been. Instead, there is Abdoul Oudai, who springs like a genie from the dark. Unleaded? he enquires from the gloom of the hotel car park in which were retired to confer. Abdoul is a guide, but it takes him a while to persuade us that theres unleaded further south, in Erfoud. Im one thousand percent confident keep my identity card until we get there as proof. We do, although its hard to see what help this will be if theres no petrol. Abdoul also offers to take us out to a hotel at the deserts edge, where we can watch the sunrise. He takes a look under the Ferrari, reckons it has the ground clearance to cope with the sandy piste south, and leaves us feeling that we have no alternative. And we havent. An hour later, were refuelling at Erfoud, excitement rising. We pass the last house in town, and bump onto the piste. Which is where you came in, if you remember, and where we head out into the dusty wilderness. An hour later we see the single light of the Yasmina hotel. Inside this modest single-story building are a young, multi-lingual staff, an American lady dressed as a Moroccan and her Spanish friend. Soon were drinking Cokes, listening to drums played by the staff, explaining our mission. Its not hard to feel adventurous. Were up at 5.15 the next morning, to watch the sun ignite the sky. The scene is magnificent, all the more so for the incongruity of the Ferrari. In one direction are rolling dunes that would do Hollywood proud. In the other is a vast plain, bounded by the pale purple wall of the anti-Atlas hundreds of miles away. Right outside the hotel is an oasis, complete with palm tree. The scene may be a visual cliché, but Id defy you not to be awe-struck. On a distant dune we momentarily hear the engines of an advance party of tourists. Theyre in Land Rovers, which makes us all the more impressed by the Ferrari: it has behaved impeccably despite being showered in dust, belted at high speed, and repeatedly driven over rough roads. At the end of the trip it will have completed 4700 miles and, once cleaned, will bear no evidence of its adventure apart from a few stone chips. Yet its finest moment occurs not at 150mph, but at 5mph. Abdouls return route to civilisation turns out to involve crossing a river. Its a dry river, which is handy, because the bridge got washed away during the last rains. Abdoul hops out to clear rocks and guide the Ferrari down. Thank goodness Antonio Ghini cant see us now. Its bumpy, but the Ferrari edges uncomplainingly into the river bed there isnt a rattle or creak from it where we pick a path between boulders. Climbing the far bank isnt hard until the last stretch, where we have to turn and power through a drift of sand. The Ferrari kicks up a cloud just as we spot a white, Swiss-registered Merc G-Wagen edging gingerly over the bank. We pull over to let it through and marvel at its occupants amazement. Four-wheel drive? Pah, who needs it?
Faz hoje 22 anos que faleceu Enzo Anselmo Ferrari. Para que não passe sem lembrança aqui no cantinho Português, aqui fica a minha homenagem ao homem, à sua lenda, e aos carros que tanto apreciamos. P.S. - Conheciam o nome do meio? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
A sua alcunha era "Commendatore" O último Ferrari lançado antes de falecer foi o F40, e é considerado por muitos o melhor que esta marca alguma vez fez Não teve uma vida fácil, embora achem que ser dono duma empresa deste calibre tem tudo, a morte do filho, foi forçado a vender a empresa à Fiat, algumas nuvens no desporto motorizado com as vitórias a escaparem, os pilotos da sua equipa Gilles Villeneuve e o Peroni acabando como sabemos Após a sua morte, a Scuderia mudou muito, e o Schumi quer gostem quer não ajudou e bastante, e tem tudo para melhorar agora com a produção de um novo modelo a cada ano, acho que Enzo se cá viesse outra vez não ficaria nada desiludido
enzo é um exemplo.... a diferença entre ser arrogante e ser categorico.. um arrogante fala alto para se ouvir falar..um categorico fala com conhecimento de causa era ele as frases e os despiques com o ferrucio ficam para a historia... "os meus carros n sao fluorescentes e n abrem as portas pa cima.." "queres 1 embraiagem que dure + de 500km a fundo, monta uma dos teus tractores..." lol..adoro-o no inicio dos inicios da ferrari nas dec. de 40 e 50, a par de brilhantes e jovens mecanicos, contratou cesteiros e metaleiros sem qualquer experiencia no ramo, para ajudarem a trabalhar a chapa e a esculpir as formas.. 1 louco? nada disso... nasceu em modena, que 15 seculos antes era apenas e tao so a cidade belica da italia, que fazia as armas e armaduras para o exercito romano 1500 anos de evoluçao continua a trabalhar metal.. o velhote era um manager do carago
