| 16 | Modellismo | The Ferrari F40 in miniature Ferrari F40 and F40 LM models arrive Wayne Moyer Wayne Moyer Herpa, a West German company known for their fine HO scale models, has begun a new line ("Collection") in the international collector's scale of 1/43. Their first model, and one of the finest "mass produced" models to date in this scale, is the "street" F40. |
| 18 | The 1990 Mille Miglia A great tradition continues, and, as always, Ferrari was there Mark Wallach, Marcel Massini | |
| 22 | A Competition Boano Ferrari 250 GT Boano, s/n 0441 GT / 0525 GT carries the flag Steven Napolitano In those ancient, antic days of the late 1940s, and all of the 1950s, racing was everything at Ferrari, and it wasn't just for the glory. Mr. Ferrari himself once said, "What wins on Sunday, I sell on Monday, to make the payroll for the week." Facetious or not, it was amazing the number of Ferraris thrown into the battle every weekend, some directly from the Factory for the Factory team's use, some for specially selected clients with the talent and resources to run a good race. | |
| 25 | L'Idea Ferrari June 7 - September 30, 1990, Forte di Belvedere, Florence, Italy Hollywood Sport Cars, Cavallino Magazine Courtesy of the Ferrari Archives, Courtesy of Carrozzeria Touring, Courtesy of Pininfarina, Mario Carrieri It can be seen as a true honour to the name of Ferrari that the city of Florence consented to hold a large, well planned, and well publicized exhibition, honouring not just Ferrari the automobile, but Ferrari as an idea, a theme, a cultural entity, that has emerged over the last forty years as something truly extraordinary, more than just a mere maker of exciting cars, but a true national icon that embodies all of Italy's traditional virtues of daring, skill, imagination, craftsmanship and aesthetic refinement. | |
| 41 | Feature | A Prototipo Racing Dino An experiment that actually competed, s/n 0784 Jerry McDermott David Egerton, Len Katz There is a 1959 Ferrari Grand Prix car running around out there at Ferrari club events and at vintage races, disguised as a sports car, but it's Factory legal and original. It is a 246 S Dino sports car, s/n 0784, but it is basically a 1959 Grand prix car with a two man Fantuzzi body on board. This is a true One Off Ferrari built by Ferrari to test various engine, chassis, body, and suspension configurations. |
| 44 | Feature | The Long Lusso with the Big Engine Many questions are answered and more are raised as we look at Lusso s/n 4715 GT / L-3097 SA Allen Bishop, Jim Truitt Allen Bishop Pictured on these pages is one of the more unique Ferrari creations of the early 1960s, a time when something special could be, and often was, produced in short order for either racing or that special customer, or in the case of this car, very possibly for the Man himself, Enzo Ferrari. |
| 48 | Notizie | Our Grand Tour to Italy, courtesy of Ferrari Cavallino magazine, which includes you, faithful and loyal reader, was invited by Ferrari to attend the opening of the new exhibition on Ferrari in Florence, Italy. On your behalf, one of your devoted staff made the arduous journey, and reported back on what was to be seen and heard. |

| 54 | Corse | The F40 LM storms Topeka Ferrari F40 in IMSA Michael Sheehan Courtesy of European Auto Sales The F40 LMs of Ferrari France have returned in force to the IMSA GTO series. With newly found sponsorship from 0-1-2-3, the large Japanese shipping and moving company, two Ferrari F40 LMs re-entered the IMSA series at the "Heartland of America" IMSA race in Topeka, Kansas on the weekend of May 5 and 6. With their new sponsorship and a fresh influx of funds, the Ferrari France team plans to campaign at least five or perhaps six of the next IMSA races. |
| 56 | Corse | The Ferrari F40 LM gains at the second race at Mid-Ohio Wayne Moyer Wayne Moyer "We have no choice," was the reply from Team Manager Jean Sage when asked why Ferrari France was racing an F40 in the American International Motor Sports Association's GTO series. "This is the only place we can run such a car," he continued, "because Group B in Europe has been cancelled - there is no more GT Group B. We entered the World Championship last year, but we were the only team to enter and you must have at least three entrants for the group to exist." |
| 56 | Corse | Prost sets new lap record at Fiorano Coming off the great victory in Brazil, both Alain Prost and the Ferrari team were unstoppable in the month of April. Several fastest times were set at Imola and Paul Ricard during testing sessions, but the most memorable for us Ferrari fans was the new record at Fiorano. |

| 57 | Corse | San Marino Grand Prix - a disappointment for Ferrari Formula One Championship All this great testing, and the excitement of the evolutionary 641/s models, raised everyone's hopes for the Imola race, but right from the start there were nagging problems. |
| 58 | Corse | Monaco Grand Prix - electrics bring our boys down Formula One Championship Before the Monte Carlo race, there was much testing at Imola, and many anxious faces at Ferrari. For the last few years, Ferrari has been chasing McLaren with all the other teams way behind. |
