The official Ferrari FF presentation will be streamed online live from 6pm this evening (local Italy time). For this highly anticipated new Ferrari shooting brake you can at least be present virtually and if you’re a detractor of the FF style you’ll be thinking that Ferrari has got some explaining to do tonight. It will be the usual Ferrari VIP event with Luca di Montezemolo leading the field of Ferrari execs, and of course Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa will do their PR part for the new FF.

The FF online streaming presentation will be in eight languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish), and English and Italian is available on iPhone and iPad. After tonight’s presentation, we can see the Ferrari FF live at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and it is definitely one of the main attractions of the event. See: Ferrari FF live streaming.

After seven years at the helm of Fiat, Luca di Montezemolo has decided to resign from his position as Fiat president, although he will remain as the president of Ferrari. The young John Elkann, grandson of Gianni Agnelli, will take over as Fiat president, while Montezemolo will also remain on the company’s board of directors.

The snap press conference took most by surprise, as the 2010-2014 company plan is expected to be announced tomorrow. The 34-year-old Elkann already has plenty of Fiat experience behind him, and marks a new year of the globalisation of the brand and the new Fiat-Chrysler deal. More details to emerge tomorrow.

The project for a Ferrari Park is finally coming true. It will be inaugurated in 2009, and will include a whole new circuit, which will be the home of the first Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix in the same year.

A Foundation Stone Ceremony was held today to celebrate the start of construction of one of the most anticipated amusement parks in the world. Special guests in attendance for today’s event included Ferrari’s President Luca di Montezemolo and Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh, Chairman of ALDAR Properties.

During the ceremony a capsule containing a piston and a conrod from the F2007 engine, have been buried underground and will be disinterred in 2047, in occasion of Ferrari’s 100th anniversary. The park will offer a number of different attractions displaced on a 250.000 sqm area, 80.000 of which will be covered.
