Passion: Ferrari's Famed Sports Prototype And Competition
Sports Cars 1963-73 -This book is a detailed account of
the most charismatic period of Ferrari sports car racing,
from the introduction of Prototype racing for 1963 to the
withdrawal of Maranello from two-seater racing at the end
of 1973 to concentrate on Formula 1. The great sports racing
cars of this era have a strong enthusiast following, particularly
those of the Prancing Horse, which was competing primarily
against the Ford GT40 and the
Porsche 917.

Formula 1 -Even with all the other books on GP Ferraris
I already had, I found that this one was essential. The human
side of the team is particularly well presented. A nice touch
is the section showing Ferraris at the same corner at Monaco
every year over a 22-year span.

330/P4 -When enthusiasts speak of the "Ford-Ferrari
Wars" at LeMans in the mid-1960s, this is the Ferrari
of which they speak. This beautifully produced slipcase edition
commemorates the great endurance race car, of which only four
were ever built. Today, only three survive with an approximate
market value of 10 million each. This exhaustive history of
those fantastic cars examines their technical histories and
development, their complete competition records, and the great
drivers who raced them-including Jackie Stewart and Chris
Amon-as well as primary adversaries like Carroll Shelby, Jim
Hall, Mario Andretti, and Dan Gurney.

The Road from Maranello -In 1945, Enzo Ferrari, the onetime
director of Scuderia Ferrari, Alfa Romeo’s fabled racing
program, emerged from Alfa’s shadow to create his own
legend. Out of the rubble of World War II, Ferrari established
an auto works whose products would surpass anything before
seen. Demand for handcrafted racing cars in postwar Italy,
however, was slight. At the urging of a former colleague,
Ferrari found a profitable niche for his creations in America–which
still remains Ferrari’s biggest market. Now esteemed
automotive journalist, historian, and photographer Dennis
Adler presents Ferrari: The Road from Maranello–the
stunningly illustrated story of one of the most coveted and
recognized automobile lines in the world. Written with the
full cooperation of the Ferrari works, this sumptuous book
is illuminated throughout with more than 200 color and one
hundred fifty archival black-and-white photos, some of which
have never before been published. Featured are many legendary
Ferraris from road and track: the Tipo 125, Ferrari’s
debut production racer; the Farina Cabriolet, the first Ferrari
for consumers; the 212 coupe (the Inter); the 365 GTB/4 Daytona;
the 312 series cars that dominated world endurance racing
in the early 1970s; the incomparable Testa Rossa and Berlinetta
Boxer series; the brutally powerful F50, “the fastest
road car ever”; and Ferrari’s Grand Prix and Formula
One cars, driven by champions from Alberto Ascari to Niki
Lauda to Michael Schumacher. Chronicled in interviews with
racing legends including Dan Gurney, Carroll Shelby, and Phil
Hill, as well as renowned Ferrari designers Sergio Pininfarina,
Sergio Scaglietti, and many others is the fascinating history
of Ferrari through its successes and failures, setbacks and
triumphs. Here are first-person stories of legendary battles
pitting Ferrari against Ford, Porsche, and other marques on
race circuits from Monaco and Monza to Daytona and Le Mans.
Stylishly written and highlighted by magnificent photography,
Ferrari is a fitting tribute to the ultimate expressions of
automotive excellence.
