There appears to be no end to this market

Cavallino Staff, Olviier Bidaud

Olivier Bidaud


More and more, Ferraris are becoming a safe haven from all the world's economic troubles, real or imagined. Another auction, another eye-opening event, another jump in the market, another confirmation of a trend ... perhaps.

More then a tour, less then a race, the Tour Auto Optic 2000 is the perfect venue to exercise historic automobiles in congenial settings, not to mention the excellent food and wine of France.

Martin Gruss

Vincent Yernaux, Peter Singhof


It is a sublime treat to drive an old Ferrari, and even better to do it in an event that recreates the past when these gems actually raced. One owner recounts his recent experience on the road.

Report from the driver's seat of 0527 GT

Jack E. Thomas

Peter Singhof, Vincent Yernaux, Lars Theunissen


1000 miles and two days on the road - what is remarkable is the inherent reliability of these three liter V-12s, way back then and even in the here and now, five and half decades later.

Etienne Vanaret, Keith Bluemel, Olivier Bidaud, Vincent Yernaux

Vincent Yernaux


Arguably the longest-running Concours d'Elegance in the world, and in all those years, it has never lost its glamour nor its very special grace, polish and continental refinement. Take a bow.

500 Ferraris contre le cancer

Olivier Bidaud, Cavallino Staff

Olivier Bidaud


This has grown to be an enormous event, held each year at the Circuit du Val du Vienne in Le Vigilant, France. The overall theme is to bring together many sports and GT cars, of many marques, to have a few fun days on track, in an unstructured and non-competitive atmosphere.
43FeatureThe Swedish Tour de France: Beauty is its own reward
Ferrari 250 GT LWB Tour de France, s/n 0903 GT

Alan Boe

Jerry Wyszatycki


It raced only once and did not finish. And it spent most of its life in boxes. Is there any worth to this seemingly orphaned TdF?
Indeed there is, because it is a true example of all that was good about the Ferrari 250 GT LWB TdF - speed, power, versatility, and an inherent beauty of form.

Enzo Ferrari's signature

Nathan Beehl

Nathan Beehl


Ferrari is now one of the most famous and widely recognized names in the world, and anyone interested in Ferrari known the famous purple ink, and the signature with simply the surname.
What started as an insignificant gesture - the signature on any letter or document - became over time the stamp that personified the man. The slow and seamless changes over the years are noted, as this signature reaches it's iconic form.

Giulio Borsari epitomised the racing mechanic. During a career of more than thirty years, he assisted drivers of three generations, first of all at Maserati, then at Ferrari. A poignant tribute.

This season is a tough one but there are victories

Keith Bluemel

Ferrari SpA., Paolo D'Alessio


An interesting season so far for Ferrari, with several wins being diluted by bad luck and finicky tires. Not giving up is the key.

A good ratio at Le Mans - 8 Ferraris, 6 finishes, 2 DNFs

Keith Bluemel

Ferrari SpA., Keith Bluemel


The Ferraris come to this classic race with no illusions this year, as "balance of performance" rules were introduced, and the Ferrari 458 GT2s were "penalised" for their great performance last year.
68CorseFerrari in GT Racing 2013

Keith Bluemel

Keith Bluemel, Ferrari SpA.


The success of the Ferrari 458 Italia in GT racing is good to see, and it's been a boon to Ferrari in this class. It's fast, it's competitive, it's good looking ... and it's a Ferrari. Privateer teams have lined up to get one.

Marshall Buck

Everyone has his favourites, and Marshall has his. Here his measure is pure aesthetics of the model, a tribute to the originals, and their designers, of course - Pininfarina and Scaglietti.

In his day, the modeller - who-became-an-artist known as Manuel Olive Sans built a one-of-a-kind scratch-built model for a private owner, who owned the real 1:1 scale Ferrari 500 TRC, s/n 0702 MDTR, at the time.
