Seventy-five years of the legendary Italian-made Ferrari motor and racing car, captured in photographs by Günther Raupp, who during the course of his career has taken pictures of almost every Ferrari ever built.
The results of his eye-catching style and perfect technique are more than just plain photos. They reveal the car’s soul. In this book, he chooses the images that he considers among his best, photographs that make the brand’s history come alive. Writer Jürgen Lewandowski gives an expert presentation of the history of Ferrari, from the founding by Enzo Ferrari until today.
For world-class drivers like Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel, winning in a Ferrari was an outstanding experience. For many it was the crowning moment of their career. But even off the race track the sports cars from Maranello are impressive: not just the sporting qualities, but also the bodies, drawn by Italy’s best designers, including Bertone and especially Pininfarina. Günther Raupp photographs racing cars as well as road cars and makes 75 years of history of the Italian brand come alive.

174 pages with 145 illustrations, diagrams and charts, size 6-5/8 x 10-1/4 inches. This is a publication for those Ferrari enthusiasts that are tired of oversized and often overpriced coffee table books filled with page after page of photos of red Ferrari’s and not much else.
This book contains all the technical data and statistics for the majority of the 1948 to 1958 Ferrari road and race cars. It was compiled by a knowledgeable author who lived in Modena at the time that these cars were being constructed, who was personally acquainted with Enzo Ferrari and had access to the factory documents during that time period. It includes the author’s road test experiences, technical specifications, tune up, adjustments, maintenance and repair information, detailed technical drawings, exploded views, wiring diagrams and lubrication charts. This book is a ‘must have’ for any Ferrari enthusiast or lucky owner of one of these early cars and should be in the library of any true Ferraristi. Originally published by Floyd Clymer in 1960 under the similar title of ‘The Ferrari Owner’s Handbook’, its description left much to be desired. For example, of the 174 pages there are 90 pages that are much closer to a repair and maintenance manual. Consequently, it’s more of a technical manual than a handbook.
There are seven sections that cover both the road and race cars constructed by Ferrari from 1948 to 1958.
- Section 1 – The authors driving experiences of the Type 166, Type 342 and 340 America and Type 375 America.
- Section 2 – Specifications for 41 road and race cars constructed by Ferrari from 1948 to 1958.
- Section 3 – Repair, Maintenance and tune up information.
- Section 5 – Valve Timing and Carburetor data.
- Section 6 – Acceleration times.
- Section 7 – Detailed component drawings, exploded views, Wiring Diagrams, Lube charts etc.

Born on February 18, 1898, Enzo Anselmo Ferrari began to build his own cars after a career as a racing driver and team manager at Alfa Romeo. The first car was designed by Ferrari in 1939 but the first to bear his name was built in 1947: the 125 Sport for the competition. Then many models will emerge, including the legendary 250 GTO in 1962. The 40 years of the brand were celebrated with the F40, of which Enzo Ferrari had determined the general characteristics. This was his last creation, as he died August 14, 1988. 25 years ago the Commendatore left us and the brand is still there, continuing to offer beautiful sports cars proudly bearing the prancing horse. Tutte le Ferrari lists, in French, English and Italian, all the creations of the brand, retracing 75 years of myth.

Foreward by Jim Glickenhaus
On a cold, Christmas Day shortly after the end of World War Two Enzo Ferrari sat in his small unheated office and thought about the future. Enzo had a great passion and a dream. His passion was race cars and his dream was that Cars bearing his name would be World Champions. So far he had built a few cars but it wasn’t until the third one he built 159S 002 that he was able to sell one based on it’s Win at the Turin GP. A Wealthy Candy Manufacturer wanted to buy a car “”like the Turin Winner”” and Ferrari sold his first car.
On that cold day Luigi Chinetti came to visit and told Enzo that there was a real market for his cars in the US and if Ferrari could build them Chinetti could sell them.
The passion realized the Dream. Over the years I have been very lucky to meet and know many of the people who were involved in this dream and collect and drive many wonderful Ferrari’s. To me my collection has been about history. The car that Raymond Sommer won the Turin GP in, The 1967 P 3/4 that won the 24 Hours of Daytona, Dino Competition that was the prototype show car for mid engine Ferrari Road Cars.
Over journey I got to watch amazing races and meet Drivers who raced in the day and Mechanics and artisans who built these pieces of History. At some point I decided to address the flaws I found in Ferrari Road Cars defrosters that didn’t defrost, electric windows that didn’t work etc and commission a totally re engineered, re designed Ferrari with Pininfarina that became Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina. That adventure led to P 4/5 Competizione and our private race team that battled the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in our highly modified Ferrari F430.
Ferrari’s have faults. They don’t win every race but they do represent the Dream and The Passion that turns cars into pieces of History and Drivers in Champions.
Forza Ferrari!
