You may think that Platinum Motorsport has gone a little nuts and you may be right.  Purchasing a Bugatti Veyron, the  creme de le creme of cars, would satisfy most anyone, but not the guys over at Platinum. As they were unable to spec out a standard Veyron to their liking from the factory, they decided to tear one of their Veyrons down and make it more one of a kind and exclusive than anything out there.

Items on the to-do list include:

• Custom Paint Job
• Gran Sport Headlights
• Clear World Record Edition Tailights
• Super Sport Wheels

I was at Steve Harris Imports in Salt Lake City chatting with them recently. Our conversation found its way to Richard Losee’s Most Mile Enzo. The car was and still is the most well known Enzo, behind only to Mr. Glickenhaus’ P4/5. I was able to hear the whole story from the dealer who originally sold Mr. Losee his Enzo and would coordinate rebuilding it in to the monster it is today. Many are probably familiar with the story and images, but getting the opportunity to see the legendary car and hear the story again was awesome.

Let’s start at the beginning. Back in 2003 this 1995 Ferrari F50 was reported stolen from a dealership in Pennsylvania. An insurance claim was put through to Motor Insurance, who paid the claim. Fast forward five years to 2008 and the car was found amid a drug bust. Motor Insurance was contacted but possession of the Ferrari was held by the FBI during the trial. On May 27th 2009 an FBI agent and a district attorney took the car out for a “short ride.”

Here is an email that went out a few hours after this ride took place:

Fiat’s performance division, Abarth doesn’t have a lot to work with. Just two models, in fact, but that hasn’t stopped the Scorpion marque from making the most of the 500 and Punto ranges. Clearly, there’s a lot of room for hot-hatch workings. Just take a look at what Abarth has in store for the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.

On the floor of the Frankfurt Messe, Abarth will present three new vehicles. Well, new derivatives or editions of existing vehicles, anyway.

Abarth 500 Cabrio ItaliaHaving sold 1,695 examples of the 695 Tributo Ferrari – the fastest 500 to date – Abarth is moving on to the 695 Competizione. Packing the same 180-horsepower 1.4-liter 16-valve turbo four, paddle-shift transmission, 17-inch alloys and Brembo brakes as the Ferrari edition, the Competizione does away with the Ferrari logos and bridges the gap to the Assetto Corsa but legal for street use.

Engineering a mid-engined exotic with a retractable hardtop is a bit tricky. Which is why it’s never been done before – that is, until now. Feast your eyes on what Maranello’s crafty engineers have wrought.

Earlier this morning, we showed you the first video of the coming Ferrari 458 Spider, but now we have a batch of images and more information to share with you. The convertible version of the 458 Italia fills the space left by the F430 Spider and the 360, 355 and 348 Spiders before it. But whereas those went with cloth roofs, the newest variation on the theme uses a folding – or more accurately, flipping – hard panel.

The mechanism is similar to the one on the Superamerica, but whereas that model’s roof panel simply rests under the open sky on the rear deck, the 458 stows under the deck lid, protecting it from collecting dust or rain that would otherwise be deposited on the driver and passenger when deployed.

One of the most complex parts of a modern Formula One car is its steering wheel, which can be worth tens of thousands of dollars on its own and packing all the controls you’d expect to find on a dashboard right onto the wheel itself. Ferrari took a similar approach with the steering wheel on the 458 Italia, moving the starter button, chassis mode dial, windshield wiper controls, headlights, turning indicators… everything right onto the face of the wheel, while removing the usual stalks to allow for unimpeded access to the oversize shift paddles.
