| 16 | Notizie | Special Exhibit for The Modena in Modena Ferrari 360 Modena Parker Hall On March 28, Ferrari unveiled the new Ferrari 360 in front of the Duomo in the medieval heart of Modena, and to surround the car they brought several Formula Ferraris that are part of a current display in the Galleria Ferrari in Maranello. The 1961 Ferrari 156 Sharknose is the Chris Rea replica made for his movie of several years back. Ferrari allows the car to be exhibited but without the nose badge. |
| 16 | Notizie | Ferrari introduces another new model Ferarri F355 Spider 'Serie Fiorano' Ferrari SpA Lost in all the publicity surrounding the Ferrari 360 Modena was the presentation of the last extenuation, the last refinement, the last mutation of the F355 line, a special "Serie Fiorano" Spider limited to 100 automobiles. It is meant to ease the transition from the F355 Spider to the 360 Spider, the latter being still far in the future. |

| 34 | Feature | A V-12 Dino revived Marc Sonnery Marc Sonnery It started its life as a succesful V-6 Dino, and soon became a succesful V-12 hybrid, only to become a fairly succesful road car, before becoming a succesful vintage racer. Confused? It is a tortuous tale told in truth, but not without some amusement. |
| 44 | A long hard Road Ferrari 212 Inter, s/n 0179 EL John Sinkgraven John Sinkgraven This story is equally as involved as above, but this 212/225 was nearly lost for good. It took some care and feeding by one Texas lady to save this gem from extinction. The current owner slowly brings this Vignale bodied coupe through a fine restoration. | |
| 48 | Ferrari 360 Modena meditations Some further toughts and observations on this very new and different machine Andreas Meiniger We give you a few more details on this far reaching design by Pininfarina. It is completely outside Ferrari traditions, but then, is it time to start another? Will this presage the Ferrari future, or be an interesting but short adventure? Your staff collects some short notes. | |
| 50 | Corse | Ferrari wins Mille Miglia again 17th Mille Miglia Storica Marcel Massini, Pierre Goossens, Vincent Yernaux, Henri T. Kistler MPS Editorial Services, Pierre Goossens, Andreas Meiniger In the post war years of the fabled Italian, 1.000 mile race, Ferrari won eight of the eleven events from 1947 to 1957, these wins adding immeasurably to its fame. When the Mille Miglia was revived in 1977, it became a staged rally for all sports cars of 1957 and older vintage. Many Ferraris took part, of course, but none were to win again until this year. |

To celebrate the anniversary, "Le Centenaire', the Tour was extended to five days and enlarged geographically to cover more of Europe - Belgium and Germany, as well as France. This is a serious rally, covering some beautiful back country roads, interspersed with actual race events at various race tracks and hillclimbs along the way. |
| 53 | Corse | Spa Ferrari Days enters new era Pierre Goossens, Vincent Yernaux Pierre Goossens, Andreas Meiniger Wonderful as always , with almost too many Ferrari races to view and too many Ferraris to inspect and document, but such is the price your editors pay. This weekend is dedicated to seirous Ferrari competition and incorporates the new Shell Historic Challenge. Begun several years ago by the Ferrari Factory and enthusiast Jean Sage, the Historic Challenge has proved wildly popular in Europe, bringing out some of the best competition Ferraris available.  11.

| 63 | Corse | ISRS Series achieves world status Sports Racing World Cup Hugo Garritsen THe FIA has anointed this fledgling series for open sports cars, and has renamed it the Sports Racing World Cup. This came just before the Spa race on May 16, to the delight of all. The F333 SP's are doing well in this series, winning most of the races, although the battles beween the six to eight Ferraris are intense. |
| 63 | Corse | Will there be an F50 GT to race ? Ferrari initially gave the project some consideration, since there was a series for the cars, the FIA GT Championship, and reportedly there were at least fifteen request for the car by customers. Ferrari even went as far as to have the F50 homologated, but decided not to build a series on their own. |
