Cars are most shown when they are part of a current model year; the public is familiar with them, but never passes a chance to get close again, to enjoy another once-over. Other cars presented are variations on a theme, to see if the public's tastes will allow a further extension of the current forms.

Mr. Montezemolo also made the decision to bring along the new Ferrari Formule One car as soon as possible. This car had been in the works since last year under the direction of Messrs Nichols and Migeot, and it was rumoured to be quite radical.
Code named by the press as the "644", it was slowed a bit in late summer and fall as intensive work was spent on keeping the current 643 competitive.
