| 2 | Commento | Commento In this issue, we cover in more detail all we learned on our visit to the Ferrari factory last fall. The first story concerns our meeting with Enzo Ferrari himself, his comments are always interesting. More importantly, it's not often that anyone, us included, gets a chance to meet with him, so anything he says in persion, to us or anyone else, is certainly worth listening to. |

| 10 | Grande Vecchio Our Meeting with Ferrari In you have some knowledge of the Italian language, you'll know that 'Grande Vecchio' translates strictly to 'The Great Old,' and more colloquially into 'The Great Old Man.' This indeed is how they refer to Enzo Ferrari in Italy and especially at the factory. It is a term for them of endearment, of homage, of honour accorded to one of the great men of Italy in modern times. | |
| 14 | Report from Italy Ferrari Automobiles - Now and the Future SEFAC Ferrari, Mark Tippetts On our visit to the Ferrari factory, we were shown the current model line-up which includes the 308s and the Mondial, the 512 and the 400. Also shown us were some updates like the Arabian cars, and the new 400 interior, and the 208 Turbo. The main purpose of the trip, of course, was to see the 4-valve head on the V-8 and to test some cars that had this engine. | |
| 24 | Dino GT - Still a Ferrari A Concise History of the Dino Series the 206 GT, 246 GT and 246 GTS Antoine Prunet Michael Stoklos, LAT, Pininfarina The idea of a smaller, more affordable gran truism that would allow a new group of enthusiasts to be introduced to the Ferrari experience was entertained around Maranello for a long time. The first physical manifestation of the idea appeared in 1959 after several experimental engines had been produced with this goal in mind. | |

| 35 | Quattrovalvole A Look at the Ferrari's Latest Technical Achievement - The Four-Valve Head The main purpose of our trip to Italy was to get a close look at the new 4-valve head that's now on all the V-8 engines in the 308 and Mondial series of cars. As has been related by us and everyone else, the main drawback of the 308s and especially the heavier Mondials, has been the noticeable lock of power. | |

| 42 | Corse | Corse Plans for 1983 After a traumatic 1982, with one driver lost, another disabled, a third with back trouble, and with cars destroyed, but with several wins and a World Constructor's Championship to their credit. Ferrari looks forward to the 1983 season of Grand Prix racing with mixed feelings of high expectation and reserved caution. |
| 46 | Ferrari Grand Prix Victories A comprehensive guide to all the major victories scored by Ferrari Grand Prix cars since 1948. The list includes not only races run under Formula 1 rules, but also Formula Libre, major non-championship events, and important Trophy races; in other words, all those races where Ferrari's premier Grand prix cars competed. The Formula II races are not included, however, as these are another venue altogether. |
