Ferrari in the 1980's

Ferrari is one of the biggest names in motoring and motor racing, with wide brand recognition and an enduring following. Porter Press International now establishes a major new ‘Decades’ series of books beginning with the Ferrari road cars and concepts of the 1980s - an era with growing enthusiast interest and rising classic car values.

Ferrari built some of its most revered cars in the 1980s, all featured in this comprehensive book. Among the 28 road cars and concepts covered are the popular mid-engined 308 GTB, famous from Magnum PI, the 512 BBi, and its 1984 successor the Testarossa - a spectacular car that gained worldwide fame in Miami Vice.

The book also covers Ferrari’s most exclusive cars in this era - the incredible, turbocharged 288 GTO and the F40, the last Ferrari to be personally overseen by company founder Enzo Ferrari. These ‘poster’ cars of the 1980s are still considered to be some of the greatest-ever Ferraris, and today their values reach into the millions.

The major new Decades series will run alongside the established, award-winning Porter Press Great Cars and Ultimate series. It will cover the world’s most renowned car brands and the most popular motoring decades, delivering authoritative text, spectacular images and stylish design. The second book in the series, on Porsche in the 1980s, is already in production with more to follow
