THE NEW FERRARI F430

Only 11 Ferrari F430 “CALAVERA ” (Skull in Spanish) from Unique Sportscars and NOVITEC ROSSO will be made. At the heart of the CALAVERA lies the NOVITEC ROSSO twin-supercharger engine in its latest evolutionary stage. The special collaboration created a unique 707-horsepower sports car that sprints from 0 to 62 mph in only 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 216 mph.

Like all other body components the NOVITEC ROSSO front spoiler was developed in the wind tunnel. It is attached to the underside of the production front apron. It lends the F430 an even more aggressive frontal appearance and reduces lift on the front axle. Knud Tiroch belongs to Europe`s finest Airbrush artists and is responsible for creating the exclusive designs on chassis and interior. Three-piece, 20-inch NOVITEC ROSSO NF3 double-spoke wheels and Pirelli high-performance tires round out the exterior modifications.

The finishing touch is given through its interior, where the CALAVERA design and theme continues with embroidered seats and a modified, extended middle console, leaving room for conventional functions and extensions like the new generation Apple iPod.

Jay-Z Says His Concert With Kelly Clarkson Shows Racial Unity

There's NO such thing as Black music or White music, only Good or Bad music,' Jay writes.

As odd as it may have been to see a bill featuring Kelly Clarkson, Third Eye Blind and Jay-Z, it's even stranger to see a blog post from Jay-Z.

Jay admitted that he doesn't use Twitter, but he managed to post a blog for RapRadar.com following his performance Thursday evening at the University of Arizona. The MC said he was caught up in the excitement of the moment, as well as the technical difficulties, and he missed the opportunity to say something important.

"On the show as well were Third Eye Blind and Kelly Clarkson ... I thought that had to be the oddest pairing ever, but soon realized it's what I've always professed. There's NO such thing as Black music or White music only Good or Bad music."

Jay said it was cool to like different things that are outside of your comfort zone. He said this also applies to the world around us and not just music.

"If you're African American you can have a Jewish friend." He brought up his own friendship with former Def Jam head/ current Warner Music CEO Lyor Cohen. "The Jew fro and the BLUEprint fro [Afro] are the SAME thing."

Jay added that he would like to see diverse concerts such as this happen more often, outside of the one or two festivals per year and big radio station summer concerts like Zootopia, held by New York's Z-100, among many others.

"I'm putting that into the universe," Jay blogged, adding, "Next up, [a concert with] Taylor Swift and Uncle Murda!"
