LaFerrari: The fastest Ferrari road car ever comes with just one name
After months of anticipation, Ferrari’s replacement to the legendary Enzo supercar was unveiled today at the Geneva International Motor Show. It’s called LaFerrari; it’s Ferrari's first hybrid, and the fastest road car ever built under the Prancing Stallion logo.
The name of Ferrari’s new flagship has been under question for sometime. Many expected it to be called the F70, and then it was rumored to be the F150 (highly amusing for us in America). The name LaFerrari however, is even worse — hearkening back to the Dodge La Femme of 1956 — but this is Ferrari. It can, and will, do whatever it likes.

“There was no way I could afford it on top of my tuition and living expenses,” says Pinto, the communications manager at OpenMedia.ca, a grassroots organization that works for open and affordable Internet. “I called it a day and got used to living without it. Considering how expensive TV is, if you can cut costs in this economy, that’s a good place to start.”

Otterbox-Samsung Galaxy S3 cases
OtterBox Defender Series Case for Sa…
OtterBox Commuter Series Hybrid Case…
Have you shopped around for a case to protect your new Samsung Galaxy III? The Otterbox cases for Samsung Galaxy S phones are strong and protective covers known as one of the best cases around.
Otterbox cases comes in 2 series: Defender and Commuter so you have to decide between two of them. Each one has some pluses and minuses. The common complaint about the Commuter series is that the back is too slick and any time you toss is on something it slides right off. On the other hand the reviews about the Defender series claim that it is too bulky. It’s true that it adds a little thickness to the phone but really not all that much considering how well it insulates the phone against accidental drops and damages.
