The new 12 cylinder Ferrari model defines a completely new concept of the Gran Turismo genre that combines performance with versatility and comfort. Designed by Pininfarina, the perfect harmony between its sports spirit and its extraordinary versatility is immediately evident in its proportion.

In the FF, the 'Man-Machine Interface' goes well beyond creating a symbiotic relationship between the driver and the car, his/her hands and the vehicle's steering wheel. It's also an interface between the very soul of the driver and the car's character, where the two effortlessly became one. As a result, Ferrari is offering the possibility to tailor the car's interior, exterior and specs to individual tastes thanks to a personalization program divided into 4 categories: Racing and Track, Exterior and Colors, Interior and Materials, Equipment and Travel.

For example, The FF's bodywork can be finished in any of the 16 standard colors and also in six tones specifically created for this model: Rosso Maranello, Grigio Abu Dhabi, Blu America, Verde British Racing, Grigio Ferro Met, Bianco Italia. Owners can also select from 10 of 1950s and 60s-inspired colors, 12 non-standard tones, three -layers hues (Rosso Fuoco, Giallo Tristrato, Bianco Italia) and two matt shades (Nero, Grigio Silverstone). The rims can be personalized with high polish aluminum, high gloss black or matt black finish. The brake calipers are available in a choice of Nero, Aluminum, Giallo Modena, Rosso Scuderia, Rosso Corsa and, for the first time, Grigio Silverstone. Scuderia Ferrari shields can be embossed on the car's flanks whether the owner can order sports tail pipe, specific wing mirrors and personalized front grille too.

The cabin trim is available in a choice of either Alcantara or semi-aniline leather, in two-tone if desired. Semi-aniline leather is only made with the very finest quality and is treated with special transparent dyes that allow its natural characteristics and full-grain beauty to shine through. The dashboard color can be personalized upon request, and the same applies to the safety belts. Stitching can be matching or contrasting. Several of the dashboard features can be ordered on carbon fiber or in one of the two new fabrics: Alutex with aluminum effect or Titantex with titanium effect.

The array of the personalization options is truly infinitive. The FF can be equipped with lifters that rise the ride height front and rear by 40 mm at speed up to 30km/h, to allow it glide effortlessly over even the roughest of terrains. The already superb standard of the in car comfort can be further enhanced by an optional panoramic roof.

I think its been about a year since we did a review on this ones older sister. I actually thought this wine was an '06 so I purchased it just to drink. But as I started to pour us a glass I noticed this was an 07. SO here is the classy part! We really, really, try to eat healthy 90 % of the time. Not that my girlish figure hasn't got any better with all the damn fresh spinach, fish, chicken and seafood I eat.

So about once a month we have a bad day. Not knowing we were supposed to pair this with a nice meal we just paired it with the our extremely Bad meal of the night...Good ole fattening, breaded delicious fish sticks. I know, can you believe it? Childhood memories prevailed as we consumed this oh so bad meal with the wine of the night! To balance the intake of the scrumptious "fatty" food, we ate more spinach salad to balance it all "..." Surprised we haven't gotten salmonella yet, No KD This is not a hint; keep the spinach coming.

Back to the wine, Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc '07. You know here in California we have endured a heat spell 100+ degree heat and so chilled white wine tastes good on any occasion. This Fume Blanc is good, maybe not as much as the 06, however on a 106 degree day it hit's the spot. Its refreshing and full of fresh citrus flavors. This wine would be great with a chilled seafood salad such as a shrimp Louie. Worth buying if you like a dryer, crisp white for summer.

There is a saying: "You have to dress to impress on your first date". It is certainly true, but we all have to admit that for guys the most important thing on the first date should be their ride. Just picture this scene: you're at her door in tuxedo with a bouquet of 25 roses (her favorites). She opens the door, takes you by the arm and you slowly walk her towards your Baby Blue color 1998 Toyota Corolla with multiple dings, scratches and a bumper sticker that says "Nirvana". If she is a smart and beautiful girl she will fake faint right there on the spot or will bolt and run away like Usain Bolt. Women don't really care that much about your attire, flowers or manners. Your ride on the opposite will speak volumes to them and in most cases will make them totally blind to everything else. Now picture another scene: you're at her door with one hand holding your falling down pants and in your other hand a 24 ounce can of "Milwaukee's Best" wrapped in a brown paper bag. She opens the door and since she is a smart girl she is about to fake faint or almost ready to bolt like Mr. Bolt but she peeks over your right shoulder and sees your 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Convertible parked in her driveway. And because she is a smart and beautiful girl she takes you by the arm and walks you down to your car. The rest of the story is up to your imagination.

Most men will agree that Italy has the coolest and sleekest car in the world in the form of the Ferrari. Famous for its logo with the charismatic prancing horse on a yellow background and the colors of green, white and red on top, signifying the Italian flag, the sophisticated designed Ferrari car is a sure hit on the road and a real crowd-getter.

Its founder, Enzo Ferrari, started as the team leader of Scuderia Ferrari which was a racing team assigned to represent the cars produced by Alfa Romeo in racing events through the years of 1927 to 1938. However, in 1938, the Alfa group decided to enter the competition using its own name which made Enzo Ferrari leave the company.

In 1939, the first Ferrari cars produced were actually called Tipo815 and designed by an Italian automotive engineer named Albert Massimino who studied in Switzerland. Due to the onset of the World War II in the years 1939 to 1945, racing events were also stopped and the 815 model was not able to enter many competitions to showcase its craft.

In 1947, Enzo Ferrari then founded in Maranello, Italy the Ferrari S.p.A, company which dealt in producing sophisticated sports cars under his own surname. Admiration for its chic design can be seen by the alarming figures and records set that up to this day, four of its models are included in world's 10 most expensive cars sold at an auction, namely: the 1957 Ferrari 250 Tessa Rossa (First - for 12.2 million dollars), the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder (Second- for 10.9 million dollars), the 1962 Ferrari 330 TRI/LM Testa Rossa (Fourth- 9.2 million dollars) and the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO (Tenth- 6.2 million dollars).

In its 60 years of existence, the company has produced over 40 models, and, until this day, continues to earn the respect of sports car enthusiasts.

Michael Schumacher was born on the third of January 1969 in Hurth-Hermulheim, West Germany. He is a seven-time Formula One World's Drivers Champion and he is currently driving for Mercedes GP. He is considered by most "the greatest driver the sport has ever seen". He entered into history as the only driver in the sport to complete an entire season on 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in all races.

Michael, when he was only four, was given a kart powered by an old lawn-mower engine by his father. That was the beginning of a World Champion's career. In 1980 he traveled to Belgium for the World Karting Championship and was fully impressed by Ayrton Senna. Michael was soon making a name for himself and in 1984 he won the German Junior Championship and after that the 1987 European championship came his way.

Before joining Mercedes in the World Sportcar Championship and after beginning with go-karts, Schumacher won German drivers championships in Formula Three and Formula König. After winning consecutive championships with Benetton in 1994, Schumacher moved to Ferrari in 1996 and wins another five consecutive drivers title from 2000-2004. So he was seven time world champion, first in 1994, followed by 1995, 200, 2001, 2002, 2003 and ending with 2004. He won 91 races, for 154 times was on the podium and he collected 1,369 career points. His first race was the Belgian Grand Prix in 1991, wich is his first win in 1992. The last win was in 2006 at Chinese Grand Prix and his last race was the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2006.

In his last season the 37-year-old driver who made Formula One racing his personal playground wasn't at the end of his powers. There was no driver before so excellent for so long but Michael finally grew tired of the effort necessary to continue to excel and decided to quit while he was still ahead. This retirement was only for a period of time because in 2010, after a three year as a consultant to Ferrari, Michael signed a contract with the new Mercedes GP team headed by Ross Brawn.

Off the track, Schumacher is an ambassador for UNESCO and a spokesman for driver safety. He donated tens of millions of dollars to charity and has been involved in numerous humanitarian efforts throughout his life. Michael and his younger brother Ralf Schumacher are the only brothers to win races in Formula One, and they were the first brother to finish first and second in the same race in Montreal 2001 and 2003.
