Book Description

July 1, 2002

 

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gozzi's book a treat, March 13, 2009
By 
M. Lafferty (Gloucester, MA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Memoirs of Enzo Ferrari's lieutenant (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book from Franco Gozzi of memories of his career at the Ferrari organization. History plays into his narrative as does his humor and many inside stories of Ferrari drivers and management.
You may find the translation a bit troublesome in parts, but not enough to take away from the story.
The photographs are a real treat in that I hadn't seen most of them before. If you're looking for a complete photo history try another book. This one is more personal and is complimentary to the pros.
I was wary if this book would live up to it's "inside" information from Mr. Gozzi of the Ferrari team, but I believe it succeeds on that count.
For Ferrari and other motor sports fans, sit back and enjoy a good read.
