Ferrari 288 GTO

When in 1984 Ferrari presented the GTO, its racing look and forceful performance data attracted numerous customers. But just 272 of the Italian sports car were built within two years. The last one was handed over personally by Enzo Ferrari to Niki Lauda.
In spite of all that the 288 GTO was never used as a racing car. Although its tubular steel frame, the longitudinally mounted twin turbo V8 and 400 PS made it competitive. Even today it achieves top prices at auctions.
In this fine box renowned photographers capture the classy design vocabulary of the 288 GTO and present some of the rare originals in a large-format illustrated book.

• Bilingual in German and English.

Ferrari F40

The Ferrari F40 caused a sensation when it first saw the light of day in 1987 thanks to its uncompromising lines and a formidable mechanical specification, most of which left in plain sight and promising unrivalled performance. The car emanated immense appeal from every side.
The last of the Prancing Horse's GT cars "approved" by Enzo Ferrari is the protagonist of this book by Gaetano Derosa, a book that starts from a long way out, analysing the "forebears" of the F40: from the 250 LM of 1963 to the 308 "Millechiodi" of 1978, to the 288 GTO of 1984 and the GTO Evoluzione of 1986.

The technical and stylistic evolution of the F40 is also recounted by the figures responsible for this thoroughbred Ferrari: from Leonardo Fioravanti, in his dual role as designer and at the time vice-chairman of the Maranello firm to Nicola Materazzi who defined the monstrous eight-cylinder engine that powered the car and through to Piero Ferrari himself one of the great supporters of the F40 Le Mans project.

In the book, among other things, there is one of the latest interviews released by engineer Materazzi, who passed away shortly before the publication of the volume.
The work concludes with an exhaustive chapter dedicated to the F40 in racing, from the GT and single-marque championships to the return to the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Ferrari - The Turbo Eight Cylinders (1982-1989) : 208 turbo, 288 GTO, GTB / GTS turbo, F40

This book tells the story of the four eight-cylinder turbo-charged road Ferrari of the 80's: from the 208 turbo to the F40; with references to the Formula 1 cars from which these models derived. Apart from the stories, it includes over 300 colour, as well as black and white, images.

The story begins with the origins of the eight-cylinder Ferrari range, and their evolution - explaining the reasons that led to the supercharged models through anecdotes, recollections from some of the people directly involved in the developments, and the Author's personal memories of the era and its cars.
It goes on to describe, with detailed information and images, the turbocharged road Ferrari of the 80's, in particular the two-litre versions.

The story is enriched by original interviews with many of the experts who were involved, in various ways, in the realization of these cars - including the legendary Engineer Mauro Forghieri, and a comment from the era by Commendatore Enzo Ferrari himself.
The book concludes with a "purchase guide" for these models (with particular reference to the two-litre versions) and a brief mention of the current Ferrari models which feature a turbocharged eight-cylinder mid-rear engine.
