This Sunday marks the opening of the 2009 Formula One season and Ferrari will celebrate by launching a redesigned website. For most of us, browsing the Ferrari site is as close as we'll get to actually shopping for one. Unlike the typical automaker Internet presence, Ferrari is offering far more than just its current model lineup. Among the features of the new Ferrari.com will be the Maranello Experience, where you can take a virtual tour of the company's engineering and manufacturing complex in northern Italy.
The site will also have plenty of news about the F1 team as it goes for yet another world championship. For the first time, people will be able to check out the car telemetry readings just as the engineers do in the pits. And of course, in true internet fashion, you can buy stuff emblazoned with Ferrari logos. Check out the site Sunday morning and then watch the first race of the year from Australia.
