Product description

Main feature and cover car: 1965 Ferrari 500 Superfast s/n 7817 

There is no such thing as a “normal” 500 Superfast. Born to be fast and spectacular, this model also remains incredibly rare, with only 36 specimens built over two series. This issue’s cover car is even more special than other 500 SFs, as its original owner was Barbara Hutton, the Woolworth heiress famous for her lifestyle, husbands, and… Ferraris. Following a restoration, this Superfast was left parked in a museum for a very long time, before finally joining a new owner willing to drive it. It took some work to get it drivable again, but the final result is simply stunning.

Profile: 1997 355 Berlinetta #110738

Among the best specimens of the model anywhere in the world, this 355, manufactured in October 1997, is the perfect reference source if you are working on a 355. It is so amazingly original and well preserved that it is hard to believe it has already covered 15,000 miles. It sports the very rare shade of Azzurro California.

Events: Our full coverage of the Monterey Week events—including Pebble Beach, the Pebble Beach Tour, The Quail, and Casa Ferrari—offers a great overview of what is the world’s most important classic car week (and now, car week period). As per our tradition, for very event covered, we list the chassis numbers of all the Ferraris on the field. Also, we at Cavallino felt the need to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 308 GTB—a model deeply loved by us all. So, we arranged a dedicated visit to the Goodwood Racetrack, followed by a drive to London.

One-Off: Despite being a man who got his driver’s license well after he was legally entitled to, Rocco Iannone is considered one of the ultimate interpreters of Ferrari style. In this exclusive interview, Mr. Iannone reveals his vision for the world’s “fastest” fashion brand

Drive Them: At the risk of sounding repetitive, we have to reiterate our firm conviction that classic cars—Ferraris in particular—really are meant to be driven. With this in mind, we absolutely loved the spirit of Brian Ebbesen, a Dane living in London, who decided to use his 1999 360 Modena, s/n 116824, as his everyday car.

One-Off: Imagine being at the technical school in Modena just after WWII, when Enzo Ferrari shows up asking for the best student. This is exactly how Gaetano Florini came to join Ferrari in 1946. He then spent his whole working life making Maranello a better place for sports and racing cars. Florini is one of the most revered figures in the company’s history.

One-Off: As we all know, Scuderia Ferrari boasts an amazing history—but few realize that, for three years in the early 1930s, it had a sister team called Scuderia Motociclistica Ferrari. That’s right! Enzo Ferrari built motorcycles as well as racing cars. And won a lot of races with them too. Cavallino explores this little-known chapter of Ferrari history.

Corsa: In this column, we report on the 2025 F1 and WEC seasons.

Finally, as always, Cavallino brings you the voices of several editorialists, discussing a variety of topics, as well as a full and updated list of Ferrari market values ​​(also of the latest models) compiled by specialists analyzing the values ​​and market trends of different Ferrari cars. We have also updated the price guide in light of the results of the Monterey Car Week auctions.
