This is the latest in the series of Ferrari �compendiums� from the redoubtable Brooklands Books. These are excellent pieces of work, gathering together road tests and articles written in period concerning the launch, first drives, performance data, comparisons, revisions and updates of the modern V12 Ferraris. This is �as seen� through the eyes of the reporters and special correspondents of the American magazine Road and Track.
I found the content very good indeed and special comparison reports by Phil Hill and son Derek enjoyable.
The reports cover the 512TR, 512M, 456 GTA, GT and GTM, (and an American conversion to a spider version) a piece on the F50 and one on the 333SP, 550 Maranello, 550 Barchetta and lastly the 575M.
Plenty of colour plates and pictures make this an enjoyable and inexpensive summary of the best of the Ferraris of the modern era.
