Ferrari

Italy
After leaving Alfa Romeo, Enzo Ferrari founded ‘Auto Avio Costruzioni’, which became Ferrari in 1945. The very first models were equipped with a V12 engine. For decades, powerful twelve-cylinder engines were typical of the Italian sports car manufacturer, which used the series models to finance its expensive racing programmes. Successful entries in Formula 1 and prototype endurance racing led to one of the strongest brand identities in automotive history. In 1969, Fiat bought 50 per cent of the shares in Ferrari. Enzo Ferrari died in 1988, and the Ferrari F40 was the last sports car to be created under his leadership. Luca di Montezemolo managed the fortunes of the sports and racing car manufacturer for over 23 years. Ferrari went public in the new millennium.

Car articles about Ferrari by year
The Ferrari 375 F1 from 1950 and 1951 was a very successful racing car. Ingeniere Lampredi's engine delivered 350 hp, and the chassis and shape were on a par with Alfa Romeo. In 1951, Scuderia Ferrari won three Grand Prix with it, the same number as Alfa Romeo. Nevertheless, Fangio became world champion in an Alfa Romeo.
As a further development of the Ferrari 375 America, the 410 Superamerica models were produced between 1956 and 1959. The "Lampredi" twelve-cylinder engine had been bored out to 4,923 cm3, which meant 340 hp (Series 1 and 2) and 400 hp respectively. Like the Ferrari 375 America, the wheelbase was initially 2.8 meters, but from 1957 it was shortened to 2.6 meters. Various body versions were created on the chassis with independent front suspension and rigid rear axle, most of which featured a Pininfarina design, two cars had Boano bodies, another car was clad by Ghia in the style of the Chrysler Gilda/Dart concept cars. Finally, a Superamerica was given a Scaglietti body, which is presented here in detail and documented in pictures. The article is supplemented by a list of chassis numbers and historical photos from the period.
The idea was excellent. Ferrari had just finished the 1963 season very successfully. The 250 P, an open-top racing sports car with a mid-engine, was the dominant vehicle. The 250 GTO with a front-mounted engine, on the other hand, was getting on in years, so a resourceful mind in the design offices in Maranello came up with the idea of giving the 250 P a roof and calling it the GT. The car, which was built from 1964, was to be homologated in Group 3, but Ferrari was unable to produce the necessary 100 units, which meant that the car had to start as a prototype and stood almost no chance against even more uncompromising vehicles. Nevertheless, a 250 LM with Jochen Rindt at the wheel won at Le Mans in 1965. This report describes the circumstances surrounding the creation of the first Ferrari mid-engined road car and driving impressions gathered in 1983, supplemented with many illustrations.
The Ferrari 330 GT is one of the cheapest ways to get into an early Ferrari with a Colombo V12 engine. In fact, the relationship with the sports car legends GTO or SWB is greater than you might think and yet the prices are factors apart. Yet the 330 was popular in its active days and sold well, thanks not least to its racing roots, but of course also to its four-seater design. This report describes the history and origin of the Ferrari 330 GT (Series 2), of which 455 were built, and portrays a 1967 example in detail.
Pininfarina's Ferrari 512 S Modulo is one of the most daring and extreme "Idea Cars" in history. Hardly any other vehicle has ever been so consistently and extremely shaped. It was only natural that practicality would suffer somewhat as a result. Nevertheless, the study won several design awards and was passed from exhibition to exhibition in the early seventies. This report tells the story of the creation of the Ferrari 512 S Modulo and shows the unique vehicle from its design to the present day.
Between 1974 and 1980, Ferrari built the Dino 308 GT4, a mid-engined sports car with four seats. Unusually, Bertone was commissioned to design the bodywork. The built-in V8 engine was a new development. The car presented in 1973 was coherent and yet stood in the shadow of the Pininfarina-designed 308 GTB/GTS models for almost its entire construction period. In this driving report, a Dino 308 GT4 from 1974 is presented in detail, the development history is recorded and driving experiences from the past and present are compared. The documentation is completed with many historical illustrations and the sales brochure from 1974.
You realize how old you are when you celebrate a reunion with cars that you once drove when they were new. The BMW 320i Convertible on these pages is already 32 years old, a veritable classic car. But age and maturity don't have to be a negative thing, as you can see with this car. This driving report is about a BMW 320i Convertible from 1988 and shows it in current and historical pictures, as well as in the sales literature.
From 1994 to 1996, Ferrari built the 512 M, the last mid-engined sports car in the 365 GT/4 BB, 512 BB, Testarossa and 512 TR line of ancestors. Mature and almost tame, the wildest Ferrari at the time was sold exactly 500 times, as a German magazine noted. This report takes a brief look at the F 512 M's gallery of ancestors and portrays a vehicle from 1995, supplemented with original documents and press material.
