The one and only Ferrari 575 GT Zagato has been spotted in Italy! This exclusive sportscar belongs to the Japanese car collector Yoshiyuki Hayashi who owns numerous cars of great historical value, including several Ferraris such as the 166MM, the 250 Spider California, two Daytonas – a coupé and a spider – and the Enzo.

The 575 GTZ was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Zagato's Ferrari 250 GTZ berlinetta, and carries the same two-tone color scheme. There is only one car like this in the world, imagine if you can spot it! "Read More" for more pics.

GTspirit has just came out with an article of Ferrari's F430 Challenge, the race version of the roadlegal Challenge Stradale. Below you can find some specs on the car.

Ferrari took everything out the car that could give too much weight, the windows are made of lexan-plastic, the door is made out of carbon fiber and all the leather and airbags are removed. Also, the speedometer is just a simple digital display. Further only the old start, light and ventilation buttons can still be found back.

The Challenge still has the 4.3 V8 engine producing 490bhp but dropped his weight with 225kg. With all this power you do need good breakes, therefore ferrari created their new CCM (Composite-Carbon-Ceramique) system wich will bring you to reduced breaking time of 3%.

German car tuner Hamann Motorsport did a great job customizing the 599 GTB we posted earlier. I love the looks of that one. Now Hamman already worked on several Ferrari's including a F430 Spider and a F430 Coupé but this Black Miracle has a special outstanding design that equally provides a racing car look. It is guaranteed people will turn heads for this amazing "Black Miracle" in matt black livery with orange accents. Click "Read more"
