Book Description

Since 1952 Ferrari and Pininfarina have been representing the most sophisticated and prestigious motor cars in the world’s automotive production. For over forty years Pininfarina has been dressing the Ferrari with extraordinary mechanical components through a magic tradition of unapproached style and high-class. All this represents a great patrimony of technical know-how as well as refined taste. Both are collected and emphasized in this luxury book, which is illustrated by hundreds of lavish black and white and color photos and enriched by 44 precious original drawings expressly drawn for this book by well-known Italian artist, Giorgio Alisi. From the on-shot cars of the early Fifties, through the limited production of the following decades, every Ferrari-Pininfarina model is covered by

an introductory text and by exhaustive technical specifications. In addition, engine and chassis numbers are published, together with the total production figures and the name of the most significant VIP customers through the years.
