• Touring Superleggera Ferrari 550: A Masterclass in Craftsmanship

    Touring Superleggera has once again showcased its unrivaled expertise with the Ferrari 550 Maranello restomod, aptly named the Veloce V12. Stripped down to its chassis, the 550 is transformed with enhanced structural support and a meticulously handcrafted body.

    Beneath the hood, the 5.5L V12 has been upgraded to produce an impressive 503HP (375kW) and 419 lb-ft of torque, delivered to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. The result? A 0-100 kph time of approximately 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 320 kph.

    The restomod features new Brembo brakes and a custom-designed TracTive suspension system with adjustable damping, ensuring precision handling. Inside, you’ll find a luxurious interior, boasting hand-crafted leather upholstery, precision-machined controls, and custom GT seats designed for long journeys. All materials are sourced within Italy, emphasizing the authenticity and quality of this masterpiece.

    Priced at $758,000 (€690,000) excluding the donor 550 Maranello, which could add another $100k-$150k, only 30 of these bespoke restomods will be created, each tailored to its owner’s preferences.

  • Rumkale (Roman Castle), Urfa which was home to many civilizations throughout history and an important center for early Christianity as it is known to be a place where the copies of the Bible were reproduced is open to tourism.

    Rumkale, which straddles the boundary between the southeastern provinces of Gaziantep’s Nizip and Yavuzeli districts and Şanlıurfa’s Birecik and Halfeti districts, is located on a hill surrounded with rocks in the region where Merzimen Stream flows into the Euphrates. It is home to structures from the Urartu, Babylon, Sumerian, Seljuk and Ottoman eras.

    The castle and its vicinity also draw tourists thanks to its natural beauties along the banks of the Euphrates River, particularly in spring months.

    Johannes, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ, is said to have settled in Rumkale during the Roman era and reproduced copies of the Bible in a rock-carved room.

    The area was occupied by various Byzantine and Armenian warlords during the Middle Ages. The castle served as the seat of an Armenian patriarch in the 12th century.

    From 1203 to 1293, it was the residence of the supreme head (Catholicos) of the reunified Armenian Church. In 1293, it was captured by the Mamluks of Egypt, following a protracted siege.

    Restoration works that have been carried out by the Culture and Tourism Ministry have come to an end in the eastern and western walls of the castle as well as in the Barşavma Monastery, which was built in the 13th century in the north of the castle.
