Coachwork on Ferrari V12 Road Cars 1948-89

Of all the great cars to bear the Ferrari name, none are as much loved or as widely respected as the classic V12 road cars built between 1948 and 1989. Their stunning performance was matched by the equally stunning beauty of their hand-crafted coachwork, which came from the finest carrozzerie in Italy and occasionally elsewhere.

Ferrari had set out as a maker of sports and racing chassis but soon realised that there was a ready market for roadgoing versions of their cars as well. For the bodies, they turned to Italy's specialist coachbuilders, who rose magnificently to the challenge. They created the best of the best, for those who could afford it and who had the taste to appreciate it.

This book dwells on the coachwork created for the V12 road cars, examining the main types produced by each of the major carrozzerie as well as some less well-known examples. It traces the story of what gave Ferrari road cars their visual appeal from the early days, when Farina, Ghia, Touring and Vignale were the favoured coachbuilders, and when each body was hand-crafted to individual order.
As the 1950s wore on, the company's allegiance changed to Pininfarina, which went on to dominate the production of Ferrari bodies. Meanwhile, some customers continued to demand individual designs, and a selection of those is included.

The coachbuilders are presented in alphabetical order, with a brief introduction to each company's history, personalities and activities, followed by a gallery of photographs of their creations, with extensive explanatory captions.
Accompanying the overall exterior views are shots of interiors, facias, and of trim details inside and out.

There are more then 370 photographs, the great majority by the leading automotive photographer Simon Clay. The result is an enthralling and visually stunning study of the gorgeous, near faultless styling of V12 Ferraris over a period of some 40 years.

Ferrari Testarossa

The Ferrari Testarossa, unveiled in 1984 at the Paris Lido, remains one of the most iconic Ferraris to date. Its striking design, featuring a wide rear track and prominent air intake strakes, captured global attention. Powered by a powerful V12 engine, the Testarossa became a symbol of automotive excellence.

This book, part of our Supercars series, explores the technical and stylistic evolution of the Testarossa. It examines its predecessors, the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' and the 512 BB, as well as its successors, the 512 TR and the F512 M.
Additionally, it covers special editions like the Spider commissioned by Avvocato Gianni Agnelli and the prototype Mythos designed by Pininfarina. The book also includes road tests from the magazine Quattroruote, providing further insight into the Testarossa's performance and capabilities.

Ferrari Testarossa (Top Model)

Présentée en 1984, la Testarossa est la dernière Ferrari (de série) à être commercialisée du vivant du "Commendatore". Son style unique et ses performances époustouflantes lui valent de devenir immédiatement une icône de l'histoire de l'automobile.
Ferrari ne cesse de l'améliorer, d'abord en 1992, avec la 512 TR, puis en 1994, avec la F512 M. Son patronyme rend hommage aux glorieuses Testa Rossa des années 1950 qui se sont distinguées sur les circuits du monde entier, en particulier lors des mythiques 24 Heures du Mans.
La Testarossa est directement issue des fabuleuses Berlinetta Boxer des années 1970 motorisées par un douze-cylindres Boxer. Dérivé de celui des Formule 1 de la Scuderia Ferrari, ce moteur aux multiples victoires et titres mondiaux est le premier monté en position centrale arrière dans une Ferrari de série.

Cet ouvrage revient sur les débuts d'Enzo Ferrari en qualité de pilote, directeur d'écurie, constructeur, explore le prestigieux passé des Testa Rossa, des Formule 1 à moteur douze cylindres Boxer avant de présenter la saga des BB, de la fabuleuse Testarossa et de ses dérivés.
