• Main feature and cover car: 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB “Fiberglass” s/n 20275 Celebrating its first half century in 2025, the 308 GTB is considered one of the most iconic models ever made by Ferrari. Its lines shaped Ferrari production for the following decades. Designed, for Carrozzeria Pininfarina, by engineer Leonardo Fioravanti, it is still considered one of the most beautiful prancing horses ever manufactured.

• Profile: 1959 410 Superamerica s/n 1285
  When you think of a racing Ferrari, the ultra-luxurious 410 Superamerica is not the first model that springs to mind. And yet this 1959 Series III Coupé Pinin Farina, originally delivered in Arizona to J.A. “Gus” Stallings, twice tried to set a new world speed record in Bonneville, before being returned to Luigi Chinetti when it was 3 years old. It lived a harsh life, with many owners but few real caretakers, until recently when it was completely restored by Paul Russell.
• Link to Main Feature: To better celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 308, we asked Leonardo Fioravanti to tell us the story behind the style of this model, and we also delved into the special 308s made.
• Eventi: An insider report—direct from the cockpit of an F430 Spider—on the 25th edition of the Modena Cento Ore, one of the most amazing rallies and an event that combines speed, passion, and partying. Exclusive coverage of the 8th Ferrari Cavalcade Classiche, held in the Dolomites, complete with details—including serial numbers—of all 65 participating cars. In addition, a report from Villa La Massa Excellence, renowned for attracting modern supercars. To many, this is the Concorso di Eleganza that best captures the spirit and vibes of the original events held around a century ago. The jury? Not car specialists, but a star line-up of professionals dedicated to the creation of beauty. And the results? Well, turn to Cavallino to find out…
