Ferrari is set to unveil the 2013 Ferrari California, which has lost a bit of weight and put on some muscle. Added power comes from the upgraded 4.3-liter V8 engine, good for 483 horsepower and 372 lb-ft of torque — an increase of 30 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque. This enables the vehicle to go from rest to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. It’s also benefited from shedding about 66 pounds from its predecessor’s 3,825-pound curb weight, thanks to an upgraded chassis built with “cutting-edge aluminum fabrication techniques.” Finally, a new Handling Speciale package offers stiffer springs, a 10 percent quicker steering ratio and faster magneto-rheological damper control system. The 2013 Ferrari California is scheduled to debut next month at the Geneva Motor Show. via: WCF
Supra team member Tom Penny’s signature ribbed skate-boot hybrid, the Bandit, has grown to become a favorite over the last couple of seasons and, for Spring 2012, the mid-top sneaker returns in two new soft grey colorways. The first features a light grey suede upper sitting atop a cup sole with a white outsole and contrasted with a black tongue, pair of laces, and burgundy accents. The second color combination is more subtle, with charcoal grey taking over the entire upper save for the white Bandit logo on the tongue. Both colorways are available now at selectskate retailers worldwide or directly from Supra online.
