Ferrari FXX replica - pedal powered

Imagine a chilly red Ferrari travelling on the highway - at speed of only not more than 20km/h. You must be wondering why the driver is travelling so slow in his Ferrari instead of putting all the engine horses in good use. Take a peek inside and you might find out it's not a Ferrari afterall!

Here I present to you, the pedal powered Ferrari FXX! It's a two-seater 'Ferrari' created by Australian artist Hannes Langwelder who spent around a year to complete this massive project. Constructed with light tubes, adhesive and aluminium frame, the replica weight just around 100kg and has 11 gears for the cyclists to choose from.



Guess what? This replica is available for sale at LENTOS Musuem of Art, Austria at a whooping price of £1.2million! I guess its only buyer will either be a rich guy with too much money to spend or simply a rich cyclist who wants to be cool while cycling on the road. Now, if you'll excuse me, I want to push the 'paddle' to the metal! *I can't help myself from saying this*

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta - Most Powerful Ferrari Ever !

Meet the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta! Ferrari claimed that the, let's call it the F12 to be simple, is the fastest production Ferrari to date! For your info, the F12 is the replacement model for the 599, which hardly looks obsolete, right?

Featuring some design cues from the Ferrari FF Shooting Brake, the F12 looks sharp but with some curves at the right places to make it look more interesting. Somehow I noticed the front air intake is shaped to a smile, but of course, this is a Ferrari and Ferraris are suppose to be mean, and the F12 ticked the box.


The F12 uses the same 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 powerplant as the FF, but with a bump in power output. The horsepower figure increases from 651hp to 730hp, while the torque increases from 683Nm to 690Nm. These figures enable to F12 to sprint from 0-100km/h in 3.1 seconds! How staggering! Top speed is somewhere around 340km/h.
Typical Ferrari's cabin design, but it does look luxury!

Can't wait to see how it compares to other manufacturers' top-of-the-range supercar!
