Designed for Speed: Three Automobiles by Ferrari k \ ' . r- ; / THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, NEW YORK The nearer the automobile approaches its utilitarian ends, the more beautiful it becomes. That is, when the vertical lines (which contrary to its purpose) dominated at its debut, it was ugly, and people kept buying horses. Cars were known as "horseless carriages." The necessity of speed lowered and elongated the car so that the horizontal lines, balanced by the curves, dominated: it became a perfect whole, logically organized for its purpose, and it was beautiful. —Fernand Leger "Aesthetics of the Machine: The Manufactured Object, The Artisan, and the Artist," 1924 M Migh-performance sports and racing cars represent some of the ultimate achievements of one of the world's largest industries. Few objects inspire such longing and acute fascination. As the French critic and theorist Roland Barthes observed, "I think that cars today are almost the exact equiv alent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object." Unlike most machines, which often seem to have an antagonistic relationship with people, these are intentionally designed for improved handling, and the refinement of the association between man and machine.

The mountains, palm trees and perfectly manicured grass accentuated the beauty of the Ferraris. There were a record number of Platinum winners that moved onto the Coppa Bella Macchina competition. I was so very pleased that several of our members said they were inspired to show their cars because of the message I wrote many months ago encouraging them to do so.

Tilley One of four factory Works entrants in the 1954 Mille Miglia Ferrari Classiche Red Book certification Presented and awarded at numerous Concours d’Elegance, including Pebble Beach and the Cavallino Classic History documented by Ferrari expert Marcel Massini Though Ferrari is best known for its prodigious front-engine V-12 road cars, the manufacturer actually produced several models of four-cylinder sports/racers during the 1950s that are every bit as breathtaking as their more muscular siblings. During the 1950 Formula Two races, Enzo Ferrari noticed that four- cylinder race cars from manufacturers like HWM and Cooper were hot on the tails of his 12-cylinder cars on the handful of twisty circuits that generally lacked long straightaways. The fact was that the four-cylinder engines developed peak torque at a much lower rpm band than the 12-cylinder cars, enabling them to maximize their potential in a far shorter distance. By contrast, the high-revving V-12 cars were only developing a fraction of their power when the next set of turns required braking. Aware of this inherent flaw in the V-12 on such winding courses, Ferrari assigned Aurelio Lampredi to develop a four-cylinder motor, which eventually debuted during the 1951 Bari Grand Prix as a 2.5-liter unit that could develop 200 horsepower.

2017 Pebble Beach Concours D'elegance Poster
Event Calendar | Shop Tickets | Visitor's Guide We're excited to unveil the posters for the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, as well as the Tour d'Elegance and RetroAuto. Ferrari celebrates its 70th Anniversary at Pebble Beach this year, so not one but two of our posters feature prancing horses. The third poster focuses on our prewar featured marque, Isotta Fraschini. Below we share the history of the magnificent automobiles that our talented artists have depicted. We thank Barry Rowe & Tim Layzell for their fantastic work. 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Poster Artist: Barry Rowe Car: 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Touring Barchetta Initial Sketch Poster Art Final Poster The 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance poster, painted by distinguished automotive artist Barry Rowe, portrays a car that is quintessentially Ferrari— offering the best of both road and race capabilities. Illustrated on the poster, a 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Touring Barchetta (chassis 0102 E) graces the competition field early one significant Sunday morning in August. The car’s first owner, Pietro Palmieri, raced it in the Giro Delle Calabrie and the Coppa Adriatica finishing first in class and a 2nd and 4th overall. It was later loaned to and raced by Bobby Baird, leading to another class win at the RAC’s famed Tourist Trophy race in Dundrod, Ireland. The Barchetta is perhaps mostknown for its appearance in the movie “The Racers,” produced by Twentieth CenturyFox in 1955 and starring Kirk Douglas. It is said that the movie’s producer, Henry Hathaway, approached Enzo Ferrari for the loan of some cars for the movie, but Enzo said “no.” Fox studios then approached Phil Hill, who helped to broker the sale of three Ferraris.

Pirelli-Ferrari Monza-Press Release
PRESS RELEASE A NEW CHAPTER FOR PIRELLI AND FERRARI: BESPOKE P ZERO RUBBER FOR THE FERRARI MONZA, MARANELLO’S FIRST CAR WITH 21-INCH TYRES AT THE PARIS MOTOR SHOW, THE FERRARI MONZA SP1 AND SP2 WILL SHOWCASE TYRES SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED TO MATCH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LIMITED EDITION SPORTS CAR Paris, October 2, 2018 – The traditional collaboration between Pirelli and Ferrari starts another chapter inspired by the open-topped racing cars of the 1950s, brought right up to date with the latest technology from Maranello: the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2. These limited edition cars – highlighting a new “Icon” range – reinterpret the open cars that used to dominate the Mille Miglia and World Sports Car Championship. Pirelli has created a bespoke P Zero for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, starting with a precise requirement for the car’s development: 21-inch diameter tyres. This choice has been made for the first time in Ferrari’s history, presenting Pirelli’s engineers with the challenge of offering the usual levels of stiffness, comfort and performance that is synonymous with Ferrari, despite the record size. The front P Zero tyres also have the crucial task of faithfully conveying to the driver what the road is doing via the steering wheel, in order to maximise driving pleasure. Furthermore, the tyres had to play their part in keeping weight to a minimum on the new car. To achieve this, instead of the traditional reinforced textiles, the bead area was redesigned to maintain lateral rigidity while minimising weight: this solution has saved 1.2 kilograms.

History Lesson
FERRARI 212 VIGNALE HISTORY LESSON The restoration of this rare 212 Vignale offers a unique insight into Ferrari’s beginnings as a road-car manufacturer Words Dale Drinnon Photography Martyn Goddard REFERRING TO THIS as a ‘road car’ might be just a tad misleading. It certainly looks the business, with all the coachbuilt Vignale artistry that traditional Italian craftsmanship could provide. By period GT standards, the amenities quotient is high, too, with lots of leather and shiny metal, plus map pockets and cargo nets, a clock, even a heater, and neat little foldaway knobs on the window winders that keep your elbows bruise-free. Paraded along the elegant pathways of stately villa gardens, the 212 Europa is as civilised as tea with the Queen. But no matter how Enzo Ferrari referred to it, when we drive out into the real world there’s another, familiar and earthier side: steering like an antique tractor’s and suspension compliance to match, a whining semi-synchro gearbox that suffers no fools, barely enough pedal room for even modest feet, a cooling system not overly fond of modern traffic – and a gutsy 2.6-litre V12 to absolutely, positively die for. The line separating road Ferrari from race Ferrari was perishingly thin in those earliest days. Which was, of course, exactly why people bought roadgoing Ferraris then, and why those same machines are so incredibly special now. By 1951, Enzo hadn’t built many civilian cars – hell, he hadn’t built many cars of any kind – and, when he did, the difference between them and their racing brethren was primarily how deep the coachbuilder laid on the dazzle and whether he granted you the hottest cams and 118 119 FERRARI 212 VIGNALE carbs.

CS Cavalcade Classiche ENG
2017 Cavalcade Classiche ready to go Maranello, May 5 2017 - Seventy Ferraris from over 20 countries are taking part in this year's Ferrari Cavalcade, devoted to the cars that have made the history of Ferrari. In fact Cavalcade Classiche is a special event included in the 70th anniversary celebrations. The exclusive event takes place from 5 to 9 May in Tuscany. It is based in Forte dei Marmi from where the cars set off to explore this wonderful region. Participants in Cavalcade Classiche will travel along some of Italy's loveliest roads through places of breathtaking beauty, villages and cities of art. Ferrari conceived the event in order to bring its customers from all over the world (including America, Japan, Europe and South East Asia) to famous places in Italy, promoting Italian excellence in art, history, and gastronomy together with local specialities. For this occasion, Ferrari has chosen one of the most picturesque regions rich in history and art as the venue. From the beaches of Versilia, the 70 crews set off each day in their vintage cars to discover art cities such as Pisa, Lucca and Modena, fishing villages like Lerici, towns packed with history such as Pietrasanta, hazardous mountain passes through the Apuan Alps and the Apennines, to finish in Maranello with a unique fashion show inside the factory. Every day big surprises are in store, including some that will remain etched forever in the memory, such as when the cars are displayed outside the Cathedral of Pisa, the parade on the walls of Lucca or the stop at the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari in Modena.
