Danica Panica
Written: May 2, 2008
The racing world (and beyond) is abuzz with Danica Patrick’s victory at Montegi. As IRL races so often do, this one turned on—ho hum—fuel economy and pit strategy more than race craft. That doesn’t necessarily diminish the 26-year-old’s achievement as arguably the first woman to win in a world-class open-wheel ...
Mike Likes Bikes
Written: May 20, 2008
Michael Schumacher may have retired, but he’s not out to pasture. The ex-Ferrari racer still test-drives for the team on occasion. But wringing the most out of the latest and greatest F1 machine apparently isn’t enough of a rush for the seven-time world champion. He competed in several motorcycle races ...
Mosley Scandal Overshadows Exciting Season, Kimi
Written: May 22, 2008
The Max Mosley sex scandal and his refusal to step down from the FIA presidency have engulfed F1. Mosley faces a confidence vote by the 200-member FIA senate on June 3, although it isn’t at all clear whether that has the potential to result in his resignation or removal. At ...

Naked Ambition Part 1: Game On Lamborghini
Written: May 2, 2008
Lamborghini wants to sell 2,500 cars worldwide this year, 4 percent more than last year, the best on record. With the fabulous Gallardo LP560-4 now in the lineup, that goal may be conservative, especially since Lamborghini just announced the new car would list for $198,000. In the realm of supercars, ...
Naked Ambition Part 2: Gag Gift & Topless Bimbos L
Written: May 7, 2008
With the LP560-4’s performance numbers, passengers may get a little queezy from time to time. For them, it’s Dramamine or the Automobili Lamborghini “sick-bag.” That’s right, the company is selling a barf bag on its website. Black in the bad-boy tradition and replete with company script and logo, the item ...

Naked Ambition Part 3: Maserati Uncovered
Written: May 18, 2008
One class act is soon to go topless. Maserati confirmed that the GranTurismo convertible would be in showrooms by next March. The company hasn’t said whether the drop-head GT would come as a ragtop or retractable hardtop nor if the plan includes the new 440 hp GranTurismo S. What is ...
Naked Ambition Part 4: Style File
Written: May 13, 2008
As we reported in March, Bertone is on the verge of collapse. Once a top-tier coachbuilder, the Turin firm has fallen on hard times. Hampered by an internecine battle for control of the company’s destiny by feuding heiresses, efforts to find a domestic solution have failed. Bankruptcy court is now ...
Naked Ambition Part 5: Ferrari Says Hello Tata
Written: May 22, 2008
Something we don’t put much stock in as yet is the suggestion that Ferrari will sell part of itself to aforementioned Tata, the acquisitive Indian conglomerate. Company kingpin Ratan Tata told Italy’s L Espresso that he’s always dreamt of being a Ferrari stakeholder. That and a fighter pilot. What adolescent ...

Steering Toward the Next Apex
Written: May 1, 2008
In these economic times big carmakers are talking about survival, not global expansion. Things couldn’t be more different at Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini, each coming off a record-breaking year. For the marquee Italians, the future looks brighter and brighter—so long as demand remains strong in the US and Europe and ...
WV Costly for Car Owners, Delmarva Middling
Written: May 22, 2008
Edmunds recently named the five most and least costly states for car ownership. Cost in this case is a comprehensive figure that includes depreciation, financing, insurance, taxes and fees, fuel, maintenance and repair over five years. The car-cost authority found that Hawaii, California, Alaska, Nevada and West Virginia are most ...
