...grin and a custom-made Louis Vuitton suit. Ghosn's sharp look--a departure from his usual boardroom standard issue--suggested a calculated step up for Japan's No. 3 automaker. The GT-R--part luxury vehicle, part sports car--is Nissan's bid to compete head on with Ferrari and Porsche. For a company that has built its brand on the 3.6 million reliable midrange vehicles it produces every year, that is no small ambition. Think Ultraman meets Bond in a car designed for everyman--everyman who has $80,000 to spend. Building that car required Nissan to throw...
...star of the show, and of the nation's past century, is the automobile industry. "Italy is known as the place where the most beautiful cars are made," says curator Patrizia Pietrogrande. "Ferrari and Alfa Romeo are representative of Italian elegance and style." Fittingly, then, a spectacular array of cars greets visitors as they arrive at the neoclassical Palazzo. Contemporary models include the Ferrari driven by Michael Schumacher when he clinched the company's fifth consecutive Formula One Championship in 2003, and the Ducati Desmosedici motorbike that bore Australian Casey Stoner to victory at the 2007 MotoGP World Championship...

"We have never denied that the information from Ferrari was in the personal possession of one of our employees at his home," McLaren chairman and CEO Ron Dennis said in response to the verdict. "The issue is: was this information used by McLaren? This is not the case and has not been proven today." And sanctioning the team, but not the drivers who represent it, has befuddled some inside the industry. "I'm not promoting...
...recent morning in Moscow, the crew for You and I, an English-language movie directed by British filmmaker Roland Joffé, huddled listlessly around a candy-red Ferrari in the shadow of the Hotel Ukraine. The Ferrari scene was critical to the story, a coming-of-age drama about two young women caught up in Moscow's high life, but the crew's idleness was now stretching into hours. The shoot required a police escort that had been approved well in advance. But the Moscow city police on hand seemed bent upon giving the moviemakers yet another real-world lesson...
