The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is one of the best ever GT super cars. It’s fitted with a detuned version of the famed 6.0 litre V12 Enzo engine. This produces a staggering 620bhp: the 0 to 60 time of 3.7 seconds is about the fastest of any production car.

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is a strict two-seater; it shares the same aluminium chassis as the 612. It is important to note though, that the F1 shift was much improved in the 599. It’s still not as foolproof as a regular full auto, but the shifts are much smoother than some F430 buyers fear. It was introduced to replace the mighty 575M Maranello and was unveiled in 2006. It is the brand’s two seat flagship, and has long been much in demand.

Cars celebrities ****. Or is it **** celebrities’ cars? That is the question. Whether celebrities **** cars with Mazda wheels, who knows and who cares?

Well, I do. I have made a study of the cars celebrities ****. And you know what? They **** cars filled with paparazzi. They **** cars filled with sightseers at their houses. They **** cars driven by other celebrities, just because. They may or may not **** your car. I don’t know you so I can’t tell.

As much as celebrities **** cars of other people, another celebrity car category exists that we shall explore today. This is the tale of cars celebrities ****…to love.

Take Britney Spears. She hates to love her hand-assembled Mercedes G550 “Geländewagen”. Ge-what-a-what?Exactly. It is muscle powered with a 5.5-liter supercharged V8 power-train, AMG model. These sport luxury sport utility vehicles retail for a nice little $150,000 or so.

The MacLaren F1 has a carbon fiber chassis and carbon fiber body. I learned in an auto shop class that a car’s chassis is used as grounding for the electrical system. That’s fine, if the chassis is made of steel, like most cars. But how would that work for the MacLaren, with a non-metal chassis?

Many thanks,
C.L.

I was always wondering about this. Can you drive one of those cars on public streets and highways? The cars that you see in Formula 1 and GT2 racing. If not, then why is it illegal?
