The Last Gallon
What would you drive if you were down to the last Gallon in the world? Listening to the answers to the question we posed, we learned how personal and emotive our relationships are with our cars — and how meaningful that final drive would really be. Stories as told to Michael Fordham Peter Mckissock – […]
Ferrari 212 ‘Inter’ Berlinetta
there’s something beautifully raw and delicate about this early Ferrari…
The Most Important Ferrari on Earth
Ferraris – they’re a strange breed of car. Sometimes I love them; sometimes, they leave me cold. I can’t explain precisely why that is. I think everybody is expected to believe the modern incarnation of the Italian brand is as sexy as hell. That annoys me sometimes. It’s a bit like the unblemished beauty in […]
Life with a Ferrari Daytona
In a quiet cul de sac in suburban Surrey there lies a little house with a big secret. Lift up the garage door and you might expect to find the usual household detritus – perhaps a couple of old mountain bikes or a tumble drier. But not here. Gleaming under a strip light is the […]
Portofino – Highland Fling
Does any name capture the romance of driving a classic GT car better than Portofino? Not only is it a deliciously Italian word to pronounce – gliding down the tongue like a fresh scoop of gelato – but the title of Ferrari’s latest baby is taken from an outrageously chic coastal resort on the Italian […]

Ferrari. Creator of red-liveried and four-wheeled dream machines. Purveyor of poster car stars with a back catalogue of truly iconic low-slung luminaries. Firmly embedded into car (and supercar) culture, Ferrari has a roll-call of celestial coupés and divine drop-tops. And now as it reaches its quarter-century, the F355 is fired into the modern classic stratosphere. […]
Ferrari 550 Breadvan
In 1962 a very swift breadvan competed at Le Mans. It was unofficial in many ways. It wasn’t raced by Ferrari, the company which built the 250 GT on which it was based, and it wasn’t actually called a breadvan by the team (Scuderia Serenissima) – that name was apparently given by sneering Brits. However, […]
Ferrari Dino: not a simply Ferrari, but a memorial to a lost son
In 1956, a very rare genetic disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy took the life of a talented young man of 24 years old, about to graduate in mechanical engineering. His name was Alfredo, called Dino by everyone, and he was the eldest son of Enzo Ferrari. In 1952, Dino started working on the engine design of […]
Fins, Firebirds and Ferraris – The life of Chuck Jordan
There are fewer men that have been Vice President of GM Design than have set foot on the moon; Charles M. “Chuck” Jordan was one of the lucky few. Before him the leaders of GM Design were Harley Earl, who was seminal in creating automotive styling of the “lower, longer, wider” type and Bill Mitchell, […]
