What's in our Car Town garage today? (February 22, 2014)

What's in our Car Town garage today?

2004 Ford Mustang FR500S

This Mustang-based race car was driven by Eric Foss from Capaldi Racing for the 2011 Pirelli World Challenge season and this muscle car's quite a contender on the track. The FR500S is a mid-range track-only version that slots between the "Boy Racer" FR500C and the top-of-the-line "Man Racer" FR500GT. It uses the same V8 engine as the normal Mustang but uses a lot of track-honed essentials. Normally, it was built for use in a one-make race series but since it was ended, the Mustang was homologated for the World Challenge.

1955 Lincoln Futura

This is a concept car from Ford's Lincoln luxury brand that follows the same flow of the cars from the 50's and it's essentially based from the Lincoln Mark II. There's a well known fact that this car became the basis of the Batmobile from the classic Batman TV series starring Adam West as Batman. POW!

1977 Ferrari 308 GTS

The 308 GTS is the targa-top equivalent of the 308 GTB hardtop coupe. This car became famous for being the car of choice of everyone's favorite crime-fighting detective, Magnum P.I. This memorable and iconic berlinetta is powered by a 2.9L Tipo V8 engine which, in its hardtop equivalent, can get a sub-6 second mark in its 0-60mph time.

2006 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

A front-engine rear-wheel drive V12 berlinetta brought to you by Ferrari. The 599 features the same V12 engine that was used on the limited-run Enzo Ferrari and it comes with a host of F1 technology, making it track-focused while being usable on the road. It features a very clever magnetorheological suspension to keep this car stuck on the road. It is a product from Ferrari's passion for motorsports.
