Ferrari introduces a special V-8 for the American market; styling changes and more power on hand

David Newhardt, Ferrari SpA


Just when you thought things were becoming really dull and depressing in the automotive world, and more particularly in the exotic car arena, what with the recession causing production plans to be scaled back, new projects to be put on hold, newly announced supercars to be canceled, to the point where we all had the very scary and unsettling feeling that the sports car as an object of technological wonder and visceral delight was slowly expiring altogether...

A further look at this new boulevard cruiser, plus all the specifications

Pierre Goossens


We present a few more views of the new 456 GT as shown at its long awaited unveiling at the new FF40 meet for Jacques Swaters in Belgium last year in September the car in the flesh is very rounded and is indeed a new design concept from Pininfarina, especially in light of the fact that a 2+2 has to be, of necessity, rather subdued and restrained.

All Ferraris were individually handbuilt, and all Ferraris varied radically. Each "coachbuilt" grand touring car was unique, a showpiece, a billboard for the coachbuilder's talents and tastes, and a statement of the new owner's social position and pocketbook. The many different early Ferrari bodies were built by a multitude of "Carrozzeria", including Allemano, Boano, Touring, Ghia, Scaglietti, Vignale, Pininfarina, and others.

Marcel Massini, Keith Bluemel


The Modena / Maranello area in Italy is known for many things (food, pottery and tiles, opera singers), but its most famous resident and its most undying claim to eternal fame is, of course, Ferrari, and not only Ferrari the now-departed man, the legend, the idea, the myth, but also the actual physical presence of Ferrari in the here and now.

Formula One Championship
Well, the championship was long since decided at this point, and there really was no reason to go to Japan or Australia, but the teams are constructed to put on a show and this they did. And so, we make some notes for the record.

Japanese Grand Prix - Active suspension tried; team does well
Australian Grand Prix - No problems and decent results
