When Enzo Ferrari started to build cars bearing his own name, he was interested almost exclusively in cars designed for motor rac-ing, from small sports cars to Grand Prix single seaters. Given his own way, there might never have been such a thing as a customer Ferrari let alone a Ferrari for the road, but even a pragmatist like Ingegnere Ferrari had to face commercial reality: the reality being that without customers he could not afford to go racing. In the beginning he began to build a few cars to individual order for wealthy and ambitious racing drivers; then he began to sell cars which could not only win races but could be driven to the circuit before the event and home again afterwards — with enough room for the driver's kit and the almost inevitable trophy. Ferraris raced not only with success but increas-ingly with style. The first were perhaps ugly ducklings, but almost from the day Ferrari went into business the chassis that he built were clothed by many of the very best of Italian stylists, and the spartan racing cars inevitably began to be joined by a new breed. These were the first of the real roadgoing Ferraris — the early Inters and berlinettas, the cars that were as much grand tourer as racer and which grew steadily more stylish and sophisticated. They were still Ferraris, however, and that meant that they had race-bred engineering and performance, more so than any other roadgoing contemporary. Thus Ferrari grew from being a small but highly respected maker of bespoke one-offs into a relatively large but still highly respected builder of magnifi-cent and potent sports cars, latterly as a member of the giant Fiat empire but always with a unique Ferrari mystique. This is the story of Ferrari's road cars, from the beautiful little 166 barchetta to the stunning, limited edition F4() and the mainstream 348. More than just a description of the cars, it is also an insight into how Ferrari production developed the way it did and why, told through twenty-five models selected for their individual contributions to the wider story as much as for their beauty and for their technical brilliance. All of them are road cars, even if a few of them are only tenuously so; but that, of course, is all part of the Ferrari tradition.
