    Hi,

    First post.

    I'd appreciate suggestions Re a book or two (or ten!) that trace the history of the flat 12s in road-going Ferraris. What I'm mainly interested in is understanding the various trade-offs involved in this decision.

    Thanks in advance

    I'd recommend getting a used copy of Jonathan Thompson's book "Boxer", which covered both the road and racing cars that used this type of powerplant. Note that the book was published in 1981, so it does not, obviously, include the Testarossas.

    Thanks, guys. I'll Search for them over the weekend.

    I also just ordered two Ludvigsen masterpieces (if the name sounds familiar it's because he writes about that Stuttgart marque a lot):
