Ferrari California Driver Rear Ends a Pair of Lincoln Town Car Limos in Tokyo

While our previous Ferrari-related accident of day, which took place in Germany, was caused by the love/respect of a man for animals/life, this incident involving a California hardtop roadster in Tokyo, Japan, is most likely the result of some careless driving.

The driver of the Ferrari California reportedly lost control of the car and smashed into a Lincoln Town Car limousine that was parked on the side of the road.

The crash was violent enough to push the white Town car into the rear end of the black limousine of the same brand parked right in front of it.

Past Glory takes us on a Magical Automotive Trip at Amelia Island's Concours d'Elegance

Ferrari GTO, AC Cobra and Duesenberg are just some of the historic cars that made the trip to Amelia Island in Florida last month to participate in the 17th annual Concours d'Elegance. But for Justin Lapriore, who filmed this video, the event was mostly about the Gran Turismo Omologato.

"I spent the weekend of March 11th chasing Ferrari 250 GTOs around Amelia Island FL at the Concours d'Elegance. This is what came of it. It seems like a good fit for the website," Justin told us in an email.

We'll agree Justin and we'd like to believe that our readers will enjoy it as well. You can watch the short film in the video that follows right after the jump.

Listen to the Ferrari F12berlinetta as it Races Around the Track

By now, we know all there is to know about Ferrari’s latest V12 supercar, the F12berlinetta. So don't worry, this isn't yet another post about the fastest Prancing Horse's stats. Ferrari has already released an official video showing the F12berlinetta driven in anger and doing politically incorrect things such as going sideways.

But since you can never have too much of a good thing, we thought we'd share with you another video made by YouTube user Marchettino who filmed a thinly camouflaged F12berlinetta doing the rounds on the track.

You can watch, and more importantly, hear the wonderful sounds of Ferrari's 730hp-strong V12 in the video that follows after the jump.

If you follow the break, you can watch MT's Editor at Large Angus MacKenzie and British racecar driver Justin Bell, take the ZR1 up to 200mph (321km/h) on the Autobahn before hitting the Stelvio Pass and driving the 458 Italia in its homeland.

Foamed: Carnival Teens Attack Ferrari F430 Spider in Brazil

It’s always a good idea to stay far, far away from a crowd of frantic people, be you on foot or in your car. Even more so, if you're driving an exotic ride like a Ferrari F430 Spider.

This incident allegedly occurred in Brazil during a local (?) carnival. While driving on the street, the owner of the Prancing Horse supercar was suddenly surrounded by a mob of frantic kids and teens running around with foam sprays, which of course, they used on the Ferrari…

If you watch the clip until the end, you'll see a wiser driver of a white Porsche Panamera making a hasty U-turn to avoid the foamy fate of the F430 Spider. Video follows right after the break.

Pretty Girls Pose Next to Gumball 3000 Ferrari 599 GTO

The 2012 edition of the wacky Gumball 3000 rally is almost upon us as the event, which will see contestants driving some 3,000 miles from New York City to Toronto and from there to Los Angeles in seven days, starts on May 25.

Among the many participants is Team Autogespot from Holland that will run in a rare Ferrari 599 GTO.

The limited edition Italian supercar, which is powered by a tweaked 6.0-liter V12 engine churning out 670-horses at 8,250 rpm and maximum torque of 620Nm (457 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, is dressed up in a rather awkward looking vinyl wrap with cart-postal-like automobile pictures.

Perhaps the lovely Dutch ladies posing next to it in the videos that follow after the break will succeed in deflecting your attention away from the wrap.
