If you wandered around the city today and happened to lay eyes on two beautiful Ferrari Fioranos, it’s because they’re here as part of the Ferrari Panamerican 20000, a trip from Belo Horizonte, Brazil to New York, NY, by way of the Panama Isthmus, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston and then on to DC. This morning they scheduled a fuel stop in Ashburn, so I trekked out there despite my election hangover and my fatigue to see these monster cars.
Wow. What incredibly sexy vehicles. Sadly, I didn’t get to take it on a test drive, but after their fuel stop in Ashburn, they were headed downtown for pictures, and thence to the Italian Embassy for a big Ferrari party. I hear they’re even putting the cars inside. Anyhow, keep an eye out, they’ll be around all of today and will be heading to Detroit tomorrow morning.
I hope the drivers take I-68, that’s the kind of interstate that those cars are absolutely made for. Want more pictures? I’ve got a whole Flickr set for you. My new desktop is this shot
