They're utterly ridiculous, and I'm totally aware of that, but that doesn't stop me from wanting one. So this coffee table with a [Ferrari ]()360 Modena engine stuck in the middle of it, that's headed to[ Bonhams auction](), is calling my name. The coffee table itself isn't anything overly special; it's just a 15mm-thick glass table sitting on four stainless steel cylindrical legs. It's nice but the table itself isn't what you buy this for. Instead, you buy it for the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter Ferrari V8 sitting in the middle of it. Said engine is replete with the classic Ferrari crackle-red valve covers and intake manifold, prancing horse badges, and exhaust manifold legs. It even still has its camshaft and crankshaft pulleys, fuel injectors, and coil packs, so you can tell that it was once a real, working engine and not just some prop. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At one time, that Ferrari engine made 350 horsepower, 275 pound-feet of torque, and revved to 8,500 rpm. It was one of the best parts of driving the Ferrari[ 360 Modena](), thanks to its willingness to rev and glorious flat-plane crank V8 noise. Surprisingly, it was also one of the most reliable Ferrari engines of all time. This specific coffee table was made by Gervadino Design, who specializes in making coffee tables out of exotic engines, and measures 150x150 cm (just over 55x55 inches). It's headed to auction on February 2 in Paris, with an estimated selling price of €19,000-€25,000 ($20,602-$27,108), which is a lot of money for a coffee table. However, I sort of get the appeal of owning it. I'd sit and stare at it, admiring its mechanical beauty, much the same way I often stare at the watch on my wrist. So as objectively silly as a Ferrari engine coffee table is, I'm very jealous of whoever's rich enough to buy it. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
