Main description:
Over 200 designs by the prestigious illustrator Giorgio Alisi cover the history of the Prancing Horse model by model: from 1940, the year of the 815 Auto Avio Costruzioni, to the 2011 Formula 1 single seater. In this ‘virtual gallery’ in which Ferrari’s entire production appears in chronological order and sub-divided into grand tourers, sports and Formula 1 cars, each design is supported by a specification and a text that explains the key technical and sports characteristics. The work is completed by a list, updated to 2010, of all the principal victories achieved by Maranello in over 60 years of racing.
