| 18 | Auto da Corsa | Ferrari Finali Mondiali 2015 On scene & caught up in the excitement Olivier Bidaud Ferrari SpA, Olivier Bidaud No less than 50,000 Ferrari fans gathered on the Mugello track to celebrate their Ferrari passion during the 2015 Finali Mondiali on the first weekend of November. What was unusual about the Finali Mondiali this year, along with all the Challenge races and the Formula One demonstration, where the many new launches of both production and racing Ferraris. Given that, the highlights are always the exhibitions of the Scuderia Ferrari, with its official drivers very much in evidence before an adoring crowd, and with the team there to demonstrate pit stops, and of course, several high-speed laps of the famous Mugello track by the Scuderia drivers, followed by the obligatory donuts on the front straight. |

| 42 | Feature | Superfast II The many charms of the Ferrari 400 Superamerica, s/n 2207 Alan Boe Courtesy The Klemantaski Collection, Peter Singhof Certainly Ferrari's reputation would not have ascended into this rarified atmosphere that few companies, automotive or otherwise, ever attain without its competition successes. But another major factor that helped Ferrari's revered reputation to this lofty level were the magnificent, special street machines bodied by a handful of unique and highly skilled Italian custom coachbuilders. A perfect example if this white Ferrari 400 Superamerica Aerodinamico Coupé that debuted in 1960 as Superfast II, wearing chassis number 2207 SA. |
| 58 | Feature | Daytona Prime The interesting birth of the 365 GTB Jeroen Booij Pieter E. Kamp If the Daytona can be called a milestone in Ferrari history, then this car is the genesis of that landmark. It is the very first prototype of what became the 365 GTB/4, but in fact, it is more accurate to name s/n 10287 the pre-prototype. What became the species of 365 GTB/4 began life as a 275 GTB/4 test mule with most Daytona features, but not all, and therein lies the tale. |

| 85 | Mercato | A new High for a Rare Ferrari Rare beyond measure - and the results support that assessment Courtesy Actualfoto Roberto Piccinni, Peter Singhof At the RM Sotheby's Driven by Disruption auction in New York, this 290 MM, s/n 0626, went for $28m. A night to remember, to be sure. It was important because it showed that some of the less visible and less popular Ferraris (compared, that is, to GTOs, TRs and LMs) could still bring astounding prices, albeit in this case a stellar car with bullet-proof history. And rarity - one of only four makes a big difference. |
