Shape-Shifting Ferrari Monza Concept Is The Future

  • monza_opener.jpg
  • When we were young’ins we all thought that by the time we got our licenses, our cars would not only drive themselves on super highways, but fly too. Suffice to say none of that Jetsons shit panned out, but designer Iman Maghsoudi still believes that one day our cars will resemble their Sci-Fi brethren. And his Ferrari Monza concept show’s exactly where he thinks future automobiles are heading.

    Borrowing styling cues from the Ferrari Enzo, the Monza’s aerodynamic profile is supposed to allow it to travel at speeds of over 200 km/hr. And since high-speedin’ humans are a liability, the Monza’s computer system takes over driving duties once you hit a certain m.p.h. The vehicle will also change shape to become even more aerodynamic and to create a little lift to reduce friction. It’ll be a good minute before we see any flying autos, but if this is where car design is headed, we’re not mad at all. Check out more photo’s of the blueprint below.

    Ferrari California Is Topless In 15 Seconds Flat

    ferraricalifornia_main.jpg
    Once upon a time, the hardtop was an outcast in the world of convertible cars. They were too slow to convert, too bulky to store and too expensive to be worth it for most folks. But after years of flimsy ragtops dominating the industry, the release of the new Ferrari California could be a sign that the hardtop is officially running shit now.

    In a first for the Italian sports car manufacturer, they’ve created a multi-piece roof system that moves in unison for an amazingly efficient conversion. In a new video, Ferrari show that you can put the California’s hardtop up or down in under 15 seconds, which is a new record. We could also throw a bunch of technical info at you about how the V8 engine allows you to go from 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds, but we’d rather just play with the roof. Watch the video below and stay tuned for the car’s official unveiling at this year’s Paris Auto Show.

    Take The Ferrari Challenge

    ferarrigame_main.jpg
    Don’t you hate it when you get the urge to take the ol’ Ferrari out for a spin, but it’s still in the shop waiting for that fucking part to be shipped in from Italy? Don’t worry, you’re not alone—we all get frustrated. You’ll soon be able to get a realistic driving experience in your living room when the new video game Ferrari Challenge: Trofeo Pirelli comes to the U.S. late this summer.

    The racing simulator—which will be available for PS2, PS3, Wii and DS—lets you choose from a wide variety of whips, gameplay modes and international circuits to race on. You’ll even be able to race with up to 16 players online and download new cars and tracks in the future. Apparently the developers at System 3 worked closely with the actual Ferrari folks, so expect the game to mimic the type of precision that has made the luxury car company such a success. Check out some gameplay below.
