F1 is obviously running a 1.6L Turbo these days with KERS, obviously the R&D effort on that side has been huge. Not sure how much of the technology will trickle down, but the fact they're racing the 488 is great imo.

This. My favorite current Ferrari - without a doubt. The v12 sounds absolutely insane. Some serious ***** in that one...

This is a long video of an f12 TDR pickup, fast forwarded to the part where he starts giving it some stick...Holy cow.

EDIT: Rennlist won't let me use the fast forward feature on youtube. Fast forward to 12:09 if you want to skip the pick up part.

Ferraris catching fire again? Like what a trip, and on two models too. Wonder if BBC Top Gear wil make a "Funny" of this one too but with Sabine Schmitz wearing the T Shirt with the Ferrari on Fire since Chris Harris own's an FF?

And as for Porsche not using their engines, it is probably due to ultra high conservatism in knowning the newer lump has the reliability. Porsche won't Fart if they know theirs' will stink half as bad as the next retailers.

First the 991 GT3 now this. It seems to me if your car DOESN'T catch on fire then you're not in the club

Bonus points for that one GT350 going up in flames - I'm in the club now.
