Ferrari took time out at the Spanish Grand Prix last month, to launch a new model with a difference, a Ferrari roller coaster, which they say will be the fastest in the world. Stefano Domenicali, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa unveiled the cars for the Formula Rossa roller coaster at the Catalunya Circuit.


These will feature later in the year on the new ride, which will take pride of place at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi when it opens in October.
 
Formula Rossa is designed to simulate the F1 driving experience and features a top speed of 149mph, 0-100 km/h in 2.0 seconds and sharp turns and sudden drops along the 1.29 mile track which generate 1.7 Gs.

When Ferrari World opens in Abu Dhabi on October 28, 2010, it will feature twenty attractions. In addition to the Formula Rossa there will be the GT roller coaster, the G-force experience and a Flume ride the makers say will explores "the heart of a Ferrari 599 engine".
