least known way to score a Ferrari engine
Buy a Lancia Stratos. It had a 2.4 liter V6 Ferrari engine. Bertone coachbuilt the bodies.
It won the World Rally Championship 3 times.
They only made 500 for public sale
The Lancia 037 won the World Rally Championship, beating the Audi Quattro, and was the last 2 wheel drive to win the championship
The Lancia Fima 8.32 had the Ferrari V8 from the Ferrari Mondail and 308 . It was a 3.0 liter though, and he body was by PininFarina
Or if someone should stumble over a lost ASA 1000 Gt. Not going to happen, they were very very rare and were only built from 1963 to 1966. They cost 40% more than the nearest competitive car, the Alfa Giulia Sprint

Ezra Dyer, terrific funny writer, his latest column excerpt
Speaking of the Ferrari 458 Italia:
" ... the 458 makes its horsepower peak at its redline. So if you want to access all 562 hp, you have to hang in there until 9000 rpm. In fact, if you let the tach drop below the 7000 rpm, it will start raining because you made Enzo Ferrari cry from heaven. " Love this guys writing!
If you want to read a couple articles from Ezra, and he writes for Men's Journal and Autmobile Magazine, there are some online:

Ferrari 430 Scuderia New Styling
The 430 Scuderia's ultra-sporty concept and blistering performance have led to the redesign of many of its exterior and interior styling features. This was done to give the F430-inspired model its own strong personality and to further enhance the aerodynamics of what is a very extreme car indeed. The modifications made to the exterior in this regard are particularly obvious and focus on increasing downforce. In-depth research also went into cutting the car's weight still further and has led to extensive use of carbon-fibre, including in some of the bodywork components.
The cabin is very much racing-inspired and, once again, the emphasis was on weight reduction and using technical and functional materials where possible.
The new 'Super Racing' seat deserves a mention all of its own. It boasts an all-carbon-fibre structure and comes in several different sizes as well as being adjustable (manually).
Needless to say, the already abundant Carrozzeria Scaglietti Personalisation programme has been enhanced to meet the 430 Scuderia's specific requirements too. The Racing and Track area, in particular, now offers carbon-fibre kits for the 430 Scuderia to enhance the message that this is a lean, mean machine. The headlamp assembly, rear door, front spoiler, side sill kick panels and diffuser are all available in this high tech material

Ferrari F50 Top Cars
Ferrari moved on a long way from the F40 in the design of the F50, as the car is built around a carbon fiber composite tub just like the Grand prix cars. There is a tubular sub-frame at the front for the suspension pivots, but the engine is bolted directly to the rear of the tub. The rear suspension is carried on outriggers from the gearbox.
