Book Description
From the first Ferrari 125 S in 1947 to the Ferrari 590 GTO of 2010, the automobiles of the Cavallino Rampante (prancing horse) have marked the history of motoring on the roadway as well as on the racetrack. The fascinating line; the inimitable red of the chassis, now become paradigm; the power and unmistakable sound of the V8 and V12 engines have made, and continue to make, the automobiles produced at Maranello, in the province of Modena, a veritable legend on the road as well as a symbol of Italian excellence. Cars of refined style, the work of illustrious planners and designers like Pininfarina, Bertone, and Vignale, Ferraris are dreams come true for lovers of four-wheeled vehicles, and veritable cult objects for appassionati and collectors around the world. Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the prestigious automobile company, said: 'The best Ferrari ever built is the next one'. It's a legend that continues to renew itself.

Book Description
By the early 1960s, the Ford Motor Company, built to bring automobile transportation to the masses, was falling behind. Young Henry Ford II, who had taken the reins of his grandfather's company with little business experience to speak of, knew he had to do something to shake things up. Baby boomers were taking to the road in droves, looking for speed not safety, style not comfort. Meanwhile, Enzo Ferrari, whose cars epitomized style, lorded it over the European racing scene. He crafted beautiful sports cars, "science fiction on wheels," but was also called "the Assassin" because so many drivers perished while racing them.Go Like Helltells the remarkable story of how Henry Ford II, with the help of a young visionary named Lee Iacocca and a former racing champion turned engineer, Carroll Shelby, concocted a scheme to reinvent the Ford company. They would enter the high-stakes world of European car racing, where an adventurous few threw safety and sanity to the wind. They would design, build, and race a car that could beat Ferrari at his own game at the most prestigious and brutal race in the world, something no American car had ever done.Go Like Helltransports readers to a risk-filled, glorious time in this brilliant portrait of a rivalry between two industrialists, the cars they built, and the "pilots" who would drive them to victory, or doom.
