2005 Ferrari 360 Reviews

Sorry to make you look at this, really. It’s the Mansory Pugnator and it’s based on the Ferrari Purosangue SUV, though you genuinely might not know from looking at it.Leaving taste and subtlety at the door, as is the Mansory way, the prancing pony from Maranello is now a little less ‘Lake Como’ and a little more ‘put me in a coma’.“The Mansory Pugnator, which derives its name from the Latin ‘Pugnator: the competitor or contestant’, is yet another complete vehicle conversion that impressively and unrivalled demonstrates the entire technical expertise of Mansory,” the German conversion workshop says of its work on the Purosangue.With a series of coloured carbon fibre body panels and add-ons, the shape of the Ferrari SUV has been so altered that we’re surprised Ferrari hasn’t submitted a cease and desist (as it is often wont to do when people start fiddling with their cars).A new set of one-piece, ultra-light forged wheels in staggered 22-inch front and 23-inch rear sizes are arguably one of the most subtle things about this car.Its interior is similarly loud. A slathering of white leather with no shortage of red accents and Mansory badging looks ripe for literally any amount of dirt to immediately stain.It’s not all visual though, as Mansory usually also gets into the greasy bits and has a play around with some moving parts.In this case, the outfit has upped the Ferrari Purosangue’s 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12’s outputs from 533kW of power and 716Nm of torque to 563kW and 730Nm.Mansory calls it a “vehicle whose owners can fully realise their individual ideas and wishes”.  We’re not sure we’d make this our wish if we had the funds to do so.

Ferrari has announced a new pair of extended warranties, both aimed at keeping the value of its new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models looking solid well into their lifespans.

Ferrari’s first full electric car is due in 2025, but that hasn’t stopped the Italian supercar-maker launching an all-new naturally aspirated V12 masterpiece.

Ferrari has unveiled the latest instalment in its front-engined V12 dynasty to replace the 812 GTS and Competizione. It’s offered in two-seat coupe – berlinetta in Italian – or spider forms. 

It’s not breaking news that Australians are buying cars in record numbers, but the kind of cars we’re buying may surprise you because it seems to suggest many of us have too much money.

A luxury car can be defined in many ways. For some it’s a car that has a higher level of equipment, comfort and/or performance than an average car.

A silent start-up, noiseless acceleration and an all-electric driving range? It doesn't sound very Ferrari, does it? But the 296 GTS also has a dark side, with a potent petrol engine, a barking exhaust and blistering acceleration. As a result, this plug-in hybrid convertible might just be the very best of the modern Ferraris. So join us as we put it to the test.

Sure, we all know things are tough, but clearly they’re less tough for some of us, because luxury car sales - and we mean genuinely luxury ones - have been on the rise over the past decade.

Ranking the best Formula 1 drivers across the championship’s 73 years is not a simple task. No matter which system we use, there will be upset, angst and lots and lots of discussion… and that’s great.

Well, that was quite the new-car year, wasn’t it? The wave of electrification continued to wash over the automotive world, China staked its claim a force to be reckoned with when it comes to EVs, and — on the opposite side of the coin — our favourite supercar makers kept churning out the petrol-burning hits.
