If you've had a chance to waltz into your local authorized Ferrari dealer in the past few months, and asked the price of a new Ferrari, you were probably told "it's at the market price." If you cared to ask what the current "market price" was, you were quoted figures that no doubt left you agog,

The long awaited racing debut of the new Ferrari F40 LM is now in the history books. Ferrari 40 LM, no. 79890, resplendent in its Ferrari red with red interior, made its racing debut in the IMSA GTO series, at Monterey's Laguna Seca racetrack on the weekend of October 14th and 15th.
As the first semi-works entry by Ferrari in GT racing in a decade, this "Ferrari France" sponsored F40 LM is a very serious effort.

All the Ferrari top brass were in West Germany in the middle of September at the Frankfurt Auto Show, everyone quite pleased with themselves, and they had every right to be, for not only were they there to present to the automotive world their new 348 model sports car, they also knew that back at the Factory in Maranello their ledger books already showed a firm 2.000 orders for this very car!

Two years ago I was sitting in my office daydreaming of Ferraris when a call came through from the heartland. It was Cooper Weeks, who own 166 MM Touring Barchetta no. 0022 M. Cooper was trying to drum up interest in a gathering of early Ferraris. It was approaching forty years since the Barchetta was first introduced to an excited public and our conversation quickly focused on an anniversary celebration for the legendary "Little Boat."
30NotizieFerrari 348 "Sport" to debut

Starter


Here are some preliminary photos of the rumoured Ferrari 348 "speciale" sporting model based on the newly announced production 348 tb. We have word that it will be debuted at the Geneva Auto Show on March 8, 1990. The car is much lighter than the 348 and has a spartan interior. The 348 "speciale" will be built in limited quantities, but what is it for? A new unannounced racing class, or just for special customers?

Piero Fusaro, Deputy Chairman Dott. Piero Lardi Ferrari, and Commercial Director Dott. Mario Clava. At the meeting it was announced that Dr. Emilio Anchisi, President of Ferrari North America for the past few years, would retire, having reached Ferrari's mandatory retirement age of sixty years.

April had arrived, and this man's fancy had again turned to vintage racing. Like cheerful lemmings running to the sea, we were again off to over-indulge in Europe's premier vintage events, the 5th Coppa d'Italia and the 1989 Mille Miglia Historica.
This fifth running of the Coppa was to be the "Giulio Dubbini Memorial" to honor him after his death. On of the founders of the Mille Miglia Historica, Mr. Dubbini had created the Coppa as an aggressive supplement to the Mille Miglia, which he felt had become too tame.
