7 | Corse | Sebring is series opener and always exciting American Le Mans Series David Brady Ferrari SpA, ALMS, David Brady An appropriate subtitle for the 56th running of Sebring might have been "What a Difference a Year makes." In prospect, the race appeared to have good competition in at least three of the four classes contested. For the Ferrari teams, a good GT2 result this year did not seem unreasonable, especially when the success of their F430 GTs in the 2007 was considered. |

Arrayed over two lush fairways of the gold course of the Ritz Carlton Resort at Amelia island, the assembled automobiles have abundant room to be admired by all, but they are carefully placed never to give a feeling of too much room, too much unused space. |
22 | Notizie | Tour Auto captures the Imagination Ferraris at the Tour Auto 2008 Jean-Bernard Heros Jean-Bernard Heros, Arnaud Meunier, Arnaud Blanfuney This year, for the seventeenth edition of the Tour Auto in its historic version, the organizers decided to honour the brand OSCA, that good Italian company founded by the Maserati brothers at the end of the forties.

23 | Notizie | Ferraris at the Tour Auto 2008 Report Two Lilo Kistler Jean-Bernard Heros, Arnaud Meunier, Arnaud Blanfuney Nothing is easier than a Paris to Marseilles journey: Jump into a train, take an airplane or get into a car and 770 km further on you have reached your destination. Most convenient! But, the Tour Auto Lissac does not aim for a handy solution, only looking for a pleasant trip. Thus, this Paris to Marseille 2008 route took five days and covered 1800 kilometers. |

There was further space taken to introduce a new curriculum from Ferrari, their One-to-One Personalization Program. |

27 | Notizie | Baby Ferrari near Birth Avatar Productions The new "baby" Ferrari is real, it's done, and it will be unveiled at the Paris Auto Show in October. Several fully finished prototypes have already made the rounds of the major countries where Ferrari has a large presence, and in the case of the U.S., it was said to be shown in Chicago to the dealers and selected customers.

34 | Lettere | Lettere Some thoughts and opinions, plus some updates on several unique Ferraris, from your fellow readers Vincente Alvarez / Whitefly Collection, Gianni Rogliatti |
36 | Feature | One out of Seven The quiet elegance of the Ferrari 400 Superamerica Coupe Pinin Farina s/n 2407 SA Alan Boe Alan Boe Fast and exclusive, Ferrari's Superamerica was Maranello's reply to the best from Jaguar, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz and yes, even Rolls-Royce. Ferrari Superamericas attracted an ultra-wealthy, select, and limited clientele that demanded the driving experience, performance, prestige, and automotive panache only Ferrari could deliver, along with deluxe interior trappings equal to anything coming from Coventry, Newport Pagnell, Stuttgart, or Crewe. |
44 | Feature | A Glimpse at the Beginning - Ferrari 166 Inter s/n 029 S A very early Coupe from Ferrari and Touring Keith Bluemel Ivo H.J. Lucas Luijckx When people talk about a Ferrari 166, the image that immediately comes to mind is the iconic 166 MM Barchetta. However, this was preceded by the 166 Spyder Corsa, and was produced alongside the 166 Sport and 166 Inter road going models. Our feature car is chassis s/n 029 S, which is an example of the 166 Inter model with coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan. |
54 | Feature | Ferrari F1 Debut The Grand Prix of Valentino at Turin, September 5, 1948 Paolo D'Alessio, Pietro Castiglioni Courtesy Paolo D'Alessio Journalists have a strange profession. At times, they spend weeks, months and years doing extensive research to gather material in order to be able to write a story of a Scuderia such as Ferrari, while at other times, in just one day, they are able to obtain old images and documents of very important value. This is what happened to me while going through the archives of a private collector. I discovered significant images that had never been published before, and as a result, I was able to document an auto racing event of historic magnitude - the debut of Ferrari in Formula One. |
