Book Description

The first and only “virtual gallery” with all or almost all the models produced by the Maranello firm from 1947 to the present day, drawn by an artist of the calibre of Giorgio Alisi. Detailed technical files and texts by Leonardo Acerbi, an established historian of the marque, complete this unique overview of the Prancing Horse and its history. First published in the mid-2000s and reprinted on a number of occasions, Ferrari All the Cars reviews, model by model, all the most significant cars produced by the Maranello firm from 1947 to the present day.

Among them, to mention but a few, are models such as the 250 GTs, the Testa Rossa, the 250 GTO, the 250 Le Mans and the 275 GTB, through to the latest creations - 812 Superfast, Portofino GTC4 Lusso e Monza SP1/SP2 - by way of the 365 GTB/4 “Daytona”, the 512 BB, the 308 GTB and many others.

The files on each model are complemented by an accompanying image, brief but pertinent contextual texts and detailed technical specifications.
