Ferrari Service and Repair Bay Area - Ferrari testing 458 Challenge Evoluzione at Mugello - Zucchi Motorsports Sonoma - 707-334-3700
Ferrari makes road cars, it makes racecars, and it makes road cars into racecars. The 458 Challengefalls into the latter category, transforming the 458 Italia into the basis for Maranello's one-make spec racing series. It replaced the F430 Challenge in 2011, which in turn followed the 360 Challenge, F355 Challenge and 348 Challenge that started it all in the mid-90s.
Now the Prancing Horse marque is set to move the game forward again with the revised 458 Challenge Evoluzione. Seen here undergoing testing at what could be any tree-lined circuit but is likely Mugello (which Ferrari just happens to own in addition to the Fiorano test track at the factory), the 458 Challenge Evoluzione takes a step further with a new aerodynamics package.
Other changes will likely be nominal, and Ferrari will probably offer existing customer racers the option of upgrading to stay at the front of the pack instead of replacing their $300k racers entirely. One way or another, Ferrari is set to unveil the 458 Challenge Evoluzione, also at Mugello, after the conclusion this year's Finali Mondiali, the event that ties up the end of Ferrari Challenge series from around the world next week.

Ferrari Service and Repair Bay Area - History of the Ferrari 330 Series - Zucchi Motorsports Sonoma - 707-334-3700
The Ferrari 330 series was produced from 1963 through 1968. They were replacements for the Ferrari 250 GT 2+2 with many of the series retaining the style and mechanical components of their predecessors.
The front-engined, rear-wheel drive vehicle were powered by a derivative of the 400 Superamerica's four-liter Colombo 12-cylinder engine.
The first in the series was the 330 America, which was actually a 250 with a new engine. During its production lifespan, lasting only a year, 50 examples were produced of the 2+2 sports car.
The 330 GT 2+2 was introduced to the public at the 1964 Brussels Motor Show, built as a replacement for the 330 America. The 330 GT 2+2 is unique in that it provided ample seating for four individuals plus luggage. These were the ultimate road-going, practical sports car that could be used for every-day transportation. The 330 GT 2+2 was a new product, not just an engine modification. Under the hood was a Tipo 209, twelve-cylinder engine capable of producing 300 horsepower. Disc brake were placed on all four corners to provided the stopping power. The 1964 model used a four-speed manual gear box with overdrive. The 1965 version, known as the Series II, received a 5-speed manual gearbox. Other changes included alloy wheels, dual-light front clip, and optional power steering and air conditioning.
The 330 GT 2+2 was produced from 1963 through 1968. Around 1080 models were produced of the 330 GT with 50 of them being Type 330 GTE Americas.
The 330 was a replacement for the 275. The shortened wheelbase and independent rear suspension was courtesy of its predecessor. The GTC (Gran Turismo Coupe) Pininfarina designed vehicle was debuted in 1966 at the Geneva auto Show. It had a V-12 engine mounted in the front that was capable of producing 300 horsepower. The five-speed manual gearbox was located in the rear transaxle.
The 330 GTS (Gran Turismo Spyder) was shown in October 1966 at the Paris Auto Show.
There were around 600 coupes and 100 spyders produced during the production lifespan. In 1968 they were replaced by the 365 GTC/4 Daytona.

Ferrari Service and Repair Bay Area - Ferrari 212 Export Spider - Zucchi Motorsports Sonoma - 707-334-3700
This distinctive early Ferrari Spider has bodywork styled and crafted by Carrozzeria Rocco Motto of Torino – often referred to as ‘Ca-Mo’ – and unusually features an additional centrally placed long-range headlight in the lower radiator intake grille upon its nose.
The 212 Export model was powered by a new version of the classical Gioachino Colombo-designed, two-cam 60-degree V12-cylinder engine, displacing 2562cc. Most Exports were purchased for use in competition and so three Weber 32 DCF carburetors were normally fitted, and power output was a healthy 175bhp at 6,500rpm, transmitted through a slick-to-use Ferrari five-speed non-synchromesh gearbox. Typically weighing some ten per cent less than the ‘stock’ sister model 212 Inter, the competition-orientated Exports were capable of some 140mph and 0-60mph acceleration in as little as seven seconds. Production totaled only some 28 individual cars, of which only two are believed to have worn the Rocco Motto body style offered here on this very important 212 Export.
This car’s first private owner ex-works was the enthusiastic Florentine amateur racing driver Piero Scotti. He took delivery of the car – unusually painted metallic grey – in the early Spring of 1951 and on April 28 that year he drove it in the XVIII Mille Miglia accompanied by Amos Ruspaggiari. The car’s start-time race number was ’434′, and Scotti achieved astonishing success with it – returning to the starting point at Brescia after 1,000 miles’ hectic racing on the public roads of Italy to finish third overall!
Consequently this Ferrari 212 Export has since featured prominently in such respected publications as Giannino Marzotto’s books ‘La Ferrari alla Mille Miglia’ and ‘Red Arrows – Ferraris at the Mille Miglia”), and the Andrea Curami and Luca Ronchi book ‘Mille Miglia 1947-1957′, not to forget the manufacturer’s own ’1951 Ferrari Yearbook’.
On June 3, 1951, Scotti reappeared in ’0094E’ now offered here, again finishing third – this time in the Giro di Toscana. Two weeks later he placed fifth in the more prominent V Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti – a wonderful public road race around the Italian mountain range – in which he also won the Ferrari’s class. His exploit there is well recorded in the Gianni Cancellieri and Cesare De Agostini book, ‘Polvere e Gloria -La Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti 1947-1956′.
Scotti continued to campaign the car in public road events around Italy. On July 29, 1951, he contested the XIII Aosta-Gran San Bernardo mountain climb and on August 12 raced in the VII Circuito Automobilistico di Senigallia in which he finished second overall. Again this well-promoted Ferrari features in worthwhile books of racing history, Benito Quadraroli’s ‘Circuito di Senigallia-Annali’ and Andrea Curami’s ‘Cinquant’anni di mito Ferrari 1947-1997′.
Piero Scotti then sold this super-successful Ferrari 212 through Giuseppe Viannini to Roberto Wenceslao Bonomi, resident in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The car was shipped far south of the equator to the Argentine capital and in mid-March 1952 it ‘Cachorro’ Bonomi raced his new acquisition at Buenos Aires Autodrome, wearing race number ’13′ and proving it to be far from unlucky for him – as he won outright. On September 13, 1952, he drove ’0094 E’ again at the Autodrome, winning the Premio Eva Perón, and on October 19 he won there again in the Premio Lealtad.
Early in 1953 Señor Bonomi sold the Ferrari 212 to compatriot Jorge Cernadas, and in 1954 it emerged in the ownership of the fast-emerging Argentine star driver, Roberto Mieres. He raced it at the Buenos Aires Autodrome on December 19, 1954, finishing sixth, and into 1955 sold the car on to Jorge and Oscar Camaño. They raced it in the 1955 Buenos Aires 1000Kms classic – a Sports Car World Championship-qualifying event – finishing a superb sixth overall in the ageing car.
Oscar Camano then achieved a third place finish in the Premio Aniversario Ciudad de Mar del Plata on February 27, 1955, and on March 13 finished eighth in the Premio Autodromo de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. At Rosario on April 3, Oscar Camaño took a fifth place, and on May 29 he finished fifth in the grueling 500 Millas Argentinas at Rafaela, Santa Fé, the car running there in white livery with a blue stripe. Still Oscar Camano raced on with ’0094 E’, second at the Circuito del Bosque, La Plata, on August 14, then seventh in the Premio Inverno, at BA Autodrome, on August 28.
The energetic Camaño brothers then sold this Ferrari to Néstor Salerno, who continued to race the car into 1956, finishing fifth in it at the BA Autodrome on July 29, fourth there on October 12, and then contesting the major-league Buenos Aires 1000Kms on January 27, 1957, when Néstor Salerno and co-driver César Reyes finished eleventh. Salerno recorded three more fourth-place finishes in races at the Autodrome into 1958, when he eventually sold the Ferrari 212 Export to 19-year old Ricardo Masini, the car being registered on his behalf in the name of Jorge Ruanova to satisfy Argentine minimum-age regulations. On July 25, 1959, Carlos P. Milanesi drove the car into a fifth place finish on the Costanera Norte road circuit in Buenos Aires and that September saw him entered in the car for the Uruguayan Real de San Carlos Sport Club event, only to be sidelined pre-race due to an engine fire in practice.
The Ferrari then fell into obscurity before being acquired by Buenos Aires-based enthusiast and collector Lucio M. Bollaert, in 1970. By 1984 it was the property of Hector Mendizabal, and had been repainted dark blue. It was advertised for sale in the September 22, 1984, issue of the Ferrari Market Letter, and later that year was acquired by Antoine Midy, of Paris, France. He re-registered the car on Parisian license plates ’140 GHF 75′ and had the distinctive Motto bodywork repainted in metallic silver-grey.
Antoine Midy then ran the car in the 1987 Mille Miglia Retro, and in 1991 reappeared with it in the Rallye des 10,000 Virages. Appearances followed in the 1992 Tour de France Automobile and 1997 Monaco Historic Grand Prix meeting. The car was displayed during the Lyons Salon de l’Auto of 1999 and it was also exhibited at the Louis Vuitton Automobiles Classiques Concours d’Elégance at Bagatelle, and in the ‘Le Leggenderia Sport Delle Corse Di Durata’ display at the Galleria Ferrari in Maranello, Italy.
Its appearance as the ‘cover car’ of the Ferrari Club of America magazine ‘Prancing Horse’ (fourth-quarter edition, 2003) was followed by another outing in the 2004 Monaco Historic Grand Prix at Monte Carlo. As recently as 2007 ’0094 E’ was still impressing onlookers at the Retromobile exhibition in Paris, France. This incredibly well-raced and originally extremely successful private owner’s ideal racing Ferrari was offered here from Antoine Midy’s Estate, following his death on May 20th last year.

Ferrari Service and Repair Bay Area - Jim Glickenhaus's Newest One-Off Car Will Be An Absolute Masterpiece - Zucchi Motorsports Sonoma - 707-334-3700
SEXPAND
In March of this year, we received word that Jim Glickenhaus of P4/5 and P4/5 Competizione fame would be unveiling a new car. We've now gotten our first tease, and it is going to be a masterpiece. This is your first look at the SCG003.P
As a reminder, here is what Glickenhaus said about the car in March, which we then knew as the P33:P
What if I stepped back? Simpler. Lighter. Smaller? Could it be that "Less is really more?" That's what our new road car is giong to be. Lighter, smaller, simpler and very beautiful. Our goals are similar HP/LB to my P 3/4 and something that is a new, forward design where it's three wing are integrated into the form as a Porsche 959's rear wing is. I'm calling it P 33 as it's our third one off and it will have three integrated wings. It's also a tip of the hat to the Alfa T33 Stradale but not a visual Hommage to it. It will be Dino Competizione sized. Henry Ford said: "When ever I see an Alfa Romeo I always tip my hat." and I do too. We're thinking CF tub, a TTV6 and a very sexy shape. Paolo will be heading up the team again my Long time friend and chief mechanic Sal Barone will be making sure it all works and Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus and it's associates will be designing, engineering and building P 33. P 33 will be badged as an SCG as is P 4/5 Competizione. From the day I took the Ferrari Badge off of P 4/5 Competizione (something viewed by millions of people on our FB site) I haven't looked back.When we have a sketch we're happy with we'll share them with you.P
He now has that sketch, and it's something else. P
SEXPAND
The car, which will debut at the Geneva show in 2015, will come in both road going and competition forms, kind of like the P4/5. He wants the car to set new records and benchmarks for stiffness and lightness in its class, which is exactly what we were told in March.P
Basically, it's LMP1 design for a GT car, so it sounds like it'll be a radical approach to car building.P
The intention is to run it in the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring in 2015 right after its debut at the Geneva show, where it'll run in the SPX class.P
SEXPAND
Currently it's known as the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG003, with the competition version going by SCG003C. Now, 2013 isn't even over yet and Glickenhaus has just made me excited for 2015. source: http://jalopnik.com/jim-glickenhauss-newest-one-off-car-will-be-an-absolut-1485859630

Ferrari Service and Repair Bay Area - The Best Looking Ferrari Ever? Ferrari 512 S / 512 M with history of each car - Zucchi Motorsports Sonoma - 707-334-3700
In 1970 the Ferrari 512 S replaced the 330 P4 / 612 model, the homologation rules required 25 cars, some cars of the 25 were used as spares. The 512 S was designed by a team headed by Mauro Forghieri, the engine was an all alloy V12 with almost five litres and 4 valves per cylinder. The tubluar spaceframe was devloped from the P4 and the 612, the bodywork was designed by Giacomo Caliri and made from ploycarbonate for leight weight. Built as berlinetta and spider. It took part in the Manufacturers' World Championship in 1970 and 1971, winning Sebring and Kyalami.
The 512 M is the desecndent of the 512 S. The race expirence resulted in more powerful rear disc brakes and improved suspension. A new lighter more powerful engine was supplied with more effiencent cyclinder heads retaining the four valves per cyclinder. The bodywork was redesigned, it was lower and more aerodynamic. It debuted in 1970 on the Zeltweg circuit and took part in the Manufacturers' World Championship.
All 512's started as S, most of the 512 S were later converted to M (modificato) specs. There were 2 types Spyder and Berlinetta. The serial numbers ranged from 1002 - 1050, the serial number 1000 was not used (also the serial number 900 was unused).
712 CanAm
For the CanAm series a car with very high torque matching the track characteristics was required, that led to a seven litre engine which was used first in a regular 512 M chassis, later various spider bodies were developed and replaced the 512 M berlinatte body. This was a one-off.
In our days the Ferrari 512M is dominating the Historic Car Scene and winning more races then ever, it leafs the 312 PB's, BB 512 LM's and the 330 P4's in the dust.
What is one of the top surviving 512 M worth today (August 2007) ?
The anamera experts would say 1 and a half of the 1st 4 lightweight Competizione 365 GTB/4 Daytonas.
