Not an imposter, and possibly a true inheritor of the name

Ferrari


All of you out the who thought the Ferrari-Fiat combine couldn't turn out a real no-holds-barred, high-tech, high-performance, road and track screamer will have to revise your thinking. The new Ferrari GTO has been announced officially and presented publicly at the recent Geneva Auto Show, and it's not by any means a tricked-up 308, and most certainly not a boulevard cruiser in racing trim.

But there is no denying the increased engine operating benefits to be gained by fuel-injection, and it is here to stay.

The number of objects out there with the Ferrari logo and horse on them is expanding, it seems, at an exponential rate.

Autosprint


Never standing still in racing, Ferrari has announced a new Formula 1 car to campaign in the 1984 season, the Ferrari 126 C4. As seen in the photos, it's not a radical departure from the previous C3 models, but there are enough technical changes on board to give it a new code nomenclature.
