The new Ferrari FF was not my favorite looking car when it was officially introduced but over time, and after watching the video below, it is actually starting to grow on me. I think the Ferrari FF is trying to seduce me as it is driven on the Fiorano circuit, snowy mountains, the desert, and at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. You tell me if this video changes your mind at all about the new Ferrari FF.
Video: Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V Wagon V650 vs. Porsche 911 Turbo Drag Race

Just for sh*ts and giggles, why not race the new Cadillac CTS-V Wagon against a Porsche 911 Turbo (997)? It was bound to happen. The guy in his new family station-wagon would not only want to stage against a Porsche 911 Turbo, but he would like to annihilate it also. That is where John Hennessey and his team come into play. They take the new Cadillac CTS-V Wagon and turn it into an even angrier beast with a big-ass to put the smack-down on a Porsche 911 Turbo. Will it do the job? Let’s just say this baby not only has a nice plump ass, but she has the long legs to match.

This week’s Internet Find of the Week takes us back to a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia that was restored over a period of 6 months allowing the artist to turn it into a true work of art. A rare gem that it is, the VW Karmann Ghia stole the hearts of automotive enthusiasts back in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s just as it does today for those peculiar enough to love a curvaceous German engineered automobile. Enjoy!

This week seemed dry, and I was nervous about the continuation of this very new segment. Like the proverbial knight in shining armor, TYC Photography released these shots of a stunning, white, Dodge Viper GTS. My jaw hit the floor and my mind played the melody of that 10 cylinder engine. I often overlook the Viper when recollecting sports cars and these shots further the proof that I should not. Thank you TYC and keep up the good work.
Internet Find of the Week: BMW E9 3.5 CSi

With so many cars being featured on the internet every week, we have decided to feature one such car on AutomotiveAddicts.com for our readers to enjoy. This week is a rare gem from Bavaria.
There is little known of this specific example of an E9 coupe, except the following quote, “3.5 (M90) motor with CR dogleg and 3.07 lsd.” A google search revealed the photographer’s facebook, but the option to message him was turned off. If anyone has any more info, or if the owner steps forward, we’d love to know more, as we have been unable to stop drooling since we first saw the shots 10 days ago. Thanks in advance for the help, and if you don’t have any information, just enjoy the view, as its getting rarer and rarer to see one of these in such immaculate condition.
Ultimate Factories: Camaro
Our friends at Ultimate Factories are at it again this week, giving us a first hand view of the build process of their highly acclaimed new Camaro. It’s an 18 hour build process involving both humans and robots which is fine tuned to produce 1 brand new Camaro every MINUTE! Meticulous work is required in many aspects of this build, as they use 734 robots to perform the almost 5,000 spot welds required on each Camaro body. Also, the new Oshawa Car Paint Shop, completed in 2007, finishes an average of 150 cars an hour. This is big industry at its finest, and we are lucky to be able to see this process from beginning to end.
Show airs on National Geographic at 8pm, October 15th, 2009. Check local listings for availability.

National Geographic’s Ultimate Factories is giving the world a rare opportunity to see the build process of a Lamborghini Murcielago Super Veloce. The SV is constructed almost entirely by hand in Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese factory located in the heart of Italy. With a total run of 350 units, the SV will set purchasers back $450,000, but will allow them to reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, and continue on to a top speed of 212 mph.
Schadenfreude, now with less mess.

While the misfortunes and bad decisions of others should cause one feelings of heartfelt sorrow, the sight of a car in a church’s roof elicits nothing but smiles, laughs, and the obvious question comes forth: “HOW?”
