| 10 | Corse | Ferrari F2007 launched at Maranello January 14th, 2007 Ferrari SpA Ferrari SpA The F2007 is the fifty third single seater built by Ferrari specifically to compete in the Formula One World Championship. The project, known internally as the 658, represents the Scuderia's interpretation of the technical regulations that apply for 2007, with changes principally concerning safety, through the introduction of more stringent front and rear crash tests and the addition of a composite material structure to provide lateral protection to the sides of the driver. |
| 22 | Feature | TDF The Ferrari 250 GT LWB TDF Scaglietti, s/n 1385 GT Alan Boe, Marcel Massini Marcel Massini The decade of the 1950s was the golden age of Ferrari sports car racing. An amazing assortment of four, six, and twelve cylinder cars were dispatched to such far flung places as Buenos Aires, Argentina and Sebring, Florida, and to events all over Europe and the British Isles, returning home with considerable success. It's safe to say that the cars and drivers Ferrari sent out to do battle were rather well suited for the tasks at hand. |
| 33 | Feature | Palm Beach Cavallino Classic XVI A Ferrari Festival for all Keith Bluemel Jerry Wyszatcyki, Keith Bluemel, David Brady, David Williams, Chris McNeil, Michael Gregg The sixteenth running of the Cavallino Classic drew an eclectic mix of many stunning Ferraris to southern Florida in late January. In this Ferrari's sixtieth anniversary year, the event celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the F40, the golden anniversary of the 250 Testa Rossa, and a special anniversary of the first timelessly elegant 166 Mms. |

| 51 | Letteratura | The V-12 Engine by Karl Ludvigsen What is it about the "12 cylinders in V" that enthusiasts of motoring have found so fascinating for 100 years now? For us students of Ferrari, this is an easy question, since Enzo Ferrari made this cylinder arrangement the cornerstone of his motoring empire. But what of others, for who it also has a special allure, even putting the Ferrari units aside? |
| 52 | Historica | Luigi Chinetti and his Connections Snippets of Ferrari History: the other car at Elkhart John Edgar Previously in these pages, it has been shown that newly found pictures sometimes solve historic puzzles. We recently had the pleasure of finding another such example to share with you. By 1957, Southern Californian Phil Hill was a full-fledged Ferrari team member. Luigi Chinetti, the American Ferrari importer, was in the habit of buying ex-team Ferraris with notable histories and selling them. |

Subsequent to this, he owned a series of Ferraris, including the special bodied 375 America, chassis s/n 0355 AL and a one-off Testarossa Spyder, chassis s/n 62897, which according to Factory sources was the only example to go down the production line. |
| 66 | Guida | A Guide to all Ferraris produced Plus the market as of Xxx 1, 2007... from a survey of selected dealers There is nothing new to report. Auction activity has simply bypassed the Ferrari market altogether, with only poorer midrange examples being offered, and most often unsold. The actions are hosting American iron, while Ferraris, and most other European sports cars and exotics, are pushed aside. There is activity, of course, through the regular channels of dealer to dealers and to owner, and owner to owner. |
