World's Rarest And Finest Ferraris To Go On Display At The Petersen  'Seeing Red: 70 Years of Ferrari' will feature over a dozen Ferraris, all adorned in red, displayed in the Bruce Meyer Family Gallery including a 1955 Ferrari 857 Sport, 1980 Ferrari 312 T5 and the 2001 Ferrari F1 driven by Formula One champion Michael Schumacher.
Los Angeles, Calif. (April 3rd, 2017) – The Petersen Automotive Museum is set to debut its latest exhibition in the Bruce Meyer Family Gallery, presented by Rolex, 'Seeing Red: 70 Years of Ferrari.' The exhibit is a celebration of seven decades of beautiful and fast automobiles and the man, Enzo Ferrari, who brought them to the attention of the world via sheer force of will. It will showcase several examples of the brand's most lauded designs including the legendary 250 GTO, the 166MM, the 250 TR, the 250LM and the 2001 Ferrari F1 driven by Formula One racer Michael Schumacher in one of his most dominating years in the series. The exhibit will launch on Thursday, April 27th, 2017 with a grand reception sponsored by Gearys and will open to the public on Saturday, April 29th, 2017. It will run through April of 2018.
Few brands have captured the imagination of the world more than Ferrari. For 70 years, Enzo Ferrari's prancing horses have thrilled car enthusiasts both young and old with their racing and road cars. To celebrate the Italian automaker's 70th Anniversary, and through the leadership of Bruce Meyer, 'Seeing Red' will feature a collection of 11 of the rarest and finest road and race Ferraris, all in its signature red paint.
'We're so thrilled to bring some of the world's most beautiful Ferraris to the Petersen,' said Bruce Meyer, founding chairman of the Petersen's Board of Directors. 'Seeing that Rosso Corsa paint and the beautiful curves of the body work is always enough to make your heart skip a beat. 'Seeing Red' will be one of the most significant gatherings of Ferraris in the world and I'm so pleased to be able to share it with the public in our gallery.'
The exhibition will open with a grand reception on Thursday, April 27th at the Petersen. This exclusive event will include cocktails, appetizers, live music and presentation, with a special tribute to legendary racer, Phil Hill, hosted by Hill's son, Derek Hill. This opening reception is open to the public and tickets are available for $100 with a special VIP vault tour and Ferrari book package available for $175.
'This new exhibit is another example of how the Petersen views cars, as art, and nothing is more appropriate than red Ferrari models,' said Terry Karges, Executive Director of the Petersen Automotive Museum. 'We're confident this exhibit will helps us continue our success and really get people talking and learning about Ferrari.'

Next NSXext revealed at Detroit show

Honda’s next supercar will not be mid-engined if this show-stealing concept coupe is anything to go by, writes Dave Moore. To get cut-through among the dozen-plus concept coupes on display at Detroit last week, you really did have to come up with something special. It seemed that just about everybody had something close-coupled and muscular on display, but Honda’s US luxury arm, Acura, managed to attract most attention with what it messily labels its Advanced Sports Car Concept , or ASCC for short. While Honda will not confirm that the ASCC is a replacement for the much- loved but slow-selling NSX , it has put on record that the front-engined show car marks a preview of the design direction for that car’s successor. It is expected that the Tokyo Motor Show in October this year will mark the production debut of the actual NSX replacement. The concept is designed to incorporate a powerful front- mounted, V-10 engine and a new high-performance, rear- wheel-drive based version of the H

2007 Alpine Imprint RLS Demo Car based on Mercedes-Benz R500

Making Its Mark: The IMPRINT RLS The birth of the IMPRINT RLS marks the beginning of a new sonic era. While the exterior flaunts a sleek, elegant, one-of-a-kind style, the interior also houses the core Alpine IMPRINT sound technology – making its mark as the absolute show-stopping vehicle for 2007. The IMPRINT RLS by birthright started off as a Mercedes Benz R500 , and was slowly morphed into a car that transcends all laws of space and time. This futuristic concept-like car was brought to life by Alpine’s Advanced Application R&D team, Steve Brown, Gary Bell, Brent Davison with the help of Alpine Canada’s Glen Swackhamer and Rino Odorico. Breathing life into the RLS required a complete dismantling, relocating, building, and reinforcing experiment. Extreme modifications include gas and brake pedal relocation to allow the car to be driven from either front seat. To continue Alpine tradition of unconventional door and seat combinations, the IMPRINT RLS features a unique rotating assem

The Dangerous Ten

Jeremy Clarkson selected the ten most exciting/fastest cars he has ever thrown around a track... 10: Noble M12 GT0-3R 170mph "In a world obsessed with image, you can’t beat a Porsche. But in a world obsessed with time, a Porsche is a library. A TVR is the internet. And the Noble is broadband" 9: Aston Martin V8 Vantage 175mph. £51,500. "Thanks to heavy steering, heavy brakes and a heavy six-speed manual gearbox, they’ve made the syllabub-light body feel like a meat pie. The 911 is for nancy boy racing drivers. The Aston’s for gentleman thugs" 8: Chevrolet Corvette C6 180mph. £52,595. "This car has a head-up display, just like you get in an F-16 fighter. It’s fantastic. Whole bus queues are hidden behind the digital speed read-out, which is going to make for some wonderful insurance claims" 7: Vauxhall Monaro VXR 185mph. £36,995. "Think of it as an Aussie from the outback. Maybe he can’t quote Shakespeare. Maybe he’s never heard of Terence Conran.
