Auto sportive Ferrari: libri - storia e modelli

The Ferrari Book - Passion for Design

Success is not founded on miracles, but is almost always the product of a clear concept-the pinnacle of an ambitious, even stridently innovative idea. However, the aura of Ferrari does indeed approach the miraculous.
What lies behind this phenomenon? What is the source of fascination for a brand whose creative designs are internationally recognized and enthusiastically received?

First, even today-70 years after the company was founded-the miracle of Ferrari is still due in large part to the personality of Il Commendatore, Enzo Ferrari.
Patience, passion, and being hard on himself and those around him gave the brand, under the emblem of the Cavallino Rampante, the power to become what it is today: sheer fascination on four wheels.

Second, the long list of international racing victories is equally important. There is no class, no competition, that Ferrari did not set its sights on and win more or less immediately during the company's last 70 years.

Finally, Ferrari is synonymous with aesthetics, elegance, and trend-setting design. The true value of a brand and its products is measured in the currency of impassioned devotion. This is the third and perhaps most vital element confirming the Ferrari miracle.

"The Ferrari Book - Passion for Design" traces the evolution of the miracle and lets us experience passion given automotive form in a large and engrossing format.

- On over 400 pages, editor Michael Köckritz, author Jürgen Lewandowski and photographer Michel Zumbrunn get up close and personal with the Ferrari phenomenon: its beauty and sex appeal, its class and power.
- Readers will learn about not only the most popular models, but also the most important designers who have shaped Ferrari.
- Includes many exciting stories and anecdotes surrounding the legendary brand and its automotive icons.
- The attractive design by Charles Blunier & Co. and a clean, uncluttered layout ensure the proper presentation worthy of the vehicles from Maranello.

Ferrari: The Golden Years - Gli Anni d'Oro (Enlarged edition)

Uscito in occasione del 70° anniversario della Casa di Maranello nel 2017, questo volume vuole essere non già una nuova storia del Marchio quanto, piuttosto, un omaggio alla Ferrari degli anni d'oro, quando al timone c'era un uomo solo: Enzo Ferrari. Avvalendosi delle immagini scattate da uno fra i fotografi più fedeli al Cavallino, Franco Villani, il volume ripercorre, attraverso il forte potere evocativo della fotografia, l'epopea dell'uomo e della sua irripetibile creazione, dalla fine degli anni Quaranta, quando la 125 S mosse i primi passi nei cortili della fabbrica, agli Ottanta del Novecento quando il Commendatore se ne andò in una mattina di mezza estate. A corredo di questo prezioso materiale, per lo più inedito, la puntuale ricostruzione storica a firma di Leonardo Acerbi, profondo conoscitore del Marchio.

In questa nuova edizione, riveduta ed ampliata con 40 pagine in più, l'opera si arricchisce, per ciascuna delle decadi, di una serie di approfondimenti dedicati agli uomini più importanti nella storia sportiva del Cavallino rampante: nomi del calibro di Gioachino Colombo, Aurelio Lampredi, Romolo Tavoni, Franco Gozzi, Carlo Chiti, Mauro Forghieri, Piero Ferrari, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, Marco Piccinini e John Barnard. Ad ognuno è dedicato un apposito testo accompagnato da altre immagini assolutamente inedite.

Ferrari Hypercars - The Inside Story of Maranello's Fastest, Rarest Road Cars

For over 60 years, Ferrari has produced cars that fire the imaginations of car lovers worldwide. Embodying the perfect combination of beauty, performance, exclusivity, and Italian flair, its vehicles have made it the world's most iconic carmaker. Though Ferrari has always produced road cars, the company has first and foremost focused on competition models, such as the handful of cars built in low-number serial production that campaigned on race courses the world over in the 1950s and 60s.
In "Ferrari Hypercars: The Story of Maranello's Fastest, Rarest Road Cars", author Winston Goodfellow profiles some of Ferrari's top creations - vehicles so startling in their performance capabilities that they surpass modern terms and attain the status of "hypercar."

This book begins by reaching back to the 1950s to establish the lineage of hypercars and goes on to showcase the best known examples since the 288 GTO, including the F40, F50, Enzo, and all-new la Ferrari. These cars were collector vehicles from the moment they rolled off the production line, though that was never the reason for their creation; they were made to be driven. A necessary read for any racing fan, "Ferrari Hypercars" exhaustively traces the history of the company's competition vehicles and establishes its status as a symbol for speed, luxury, and wealth.

This Prestige book in a box retraces the life of an exceptional man, Enzo Ferrari, totally dedicated to his passion for motor racing. Unpublished period documents from the archives of Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Bernard Cahier.
About 300 unpublished and high-quality photos that make this book a reference work.

Ferrari 70 ans

Discover the evolution of the brand through detailed portraits of its most iconic models from the 212 to La Ferrari, including the legendary 250 275, Daytona, 512BB, 288 GTO, without forgetting the "supercars" like the F40, the F50 and the Enzo...

This book lifts the hood of a story rich in twists and turns, from the beginnings of Enzo Ferrari's career at Alfa Romeo to the world-famous brand that reigns over the hearts of die-hard fans and the less informed alike.
In addition to a very lively history of the Maranello firm, this book brings an expert's perspective on the brand's cars by focusing on a few particularly emblematic models, from the greatest American collections and photographed like stars.

The author rightly reminds us to what extent, since the first car imagined at the end of 1946 with Luigi Chinetti, the United States has always been the most coveted market for Enzo Ferrari.
It is no coincidence that his most conquering models would very early on bear the name "America". It is wise to remember this today at the time of such an important anniversary and "Ferrari 70 ans" skillfully traces these decisive links between the two shores of the Atlantic.

Ferrari par Pininfarina - technologie et beauté

The partnership between Ferrari and Pininfarina has lasted for half a century, while the Ferrari brand itself is only fifty-five years old. During this period, the vast majority of the models with the "little prancing horse" have been entrusted to Carrozzeria Pininfarina, responsible for creating the dress that would be the final touch to the automotive excellence admired throughout the world.

Such an operation, in the 1950s, was limited to a magnificent treatment of surfaces. Over the years, it has become a most demanding process. The companies in Turin and Maranello have gradually become de facto partners in aerodynamics, engineering, manufacturing, industrialization, and even modern marketing and communication. All this without ever betraying the noblest custom of the Ferrari house, the direct link between racing cars and production cars, between the track and the road.

In this book, Etienne Cornil explores the legend and remembers the style of the Ferraris designed by the Turin coachbuilder between 1952 and today. Of course, these were only a few years, rich in human and historical events, but they were, in terms of automobile design, creativity, communication, beauty of forms, exceptional, even heritage, which the author has perfectly captured. This book also includes many photographs that had never been published before.
