Ferrari - The Legend on the Road

When Enzo Ferrari started to build cars bearing his own name, he was interested almost exclusively in cars designed for motor racing, from small sports cars to Grand Prix single seaters. Given his own way, there might never have been such a thing as a customer Ferrari let alone a Ferrari for the road, but even a pragmatist like Enzo Ferrari had to face commercial reality: the reality being that without customers he could not afford to go racing. In the beginning, he built a few cars to individual order for wealthy and ambitious racing drivers; then he began to sell cars which could not only win races but could be driven to the circuit before the event and home again afterwards—with enough room for the driver's kit and the almost inevitable trophy. This book tells the fascinating story of Ferrari's road cars, from the beautiful little 166 Barchetta to the stunning limited edition F40 and the mainstream 348.
