Issue 266 is out now

 

Introducing Cavallino 266

 

In this issue we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the F50, one of the most iconic Ferraris ever built. To showcase the model we used one of the best, most original, and most extensively documented F50s in existence. In connection with the F50, we include an interview with engineer Paolo Martinelli, father of the F140 V12 engine.  Our second main feature focuses on “The Green Lady”, a Verde Pino Metallizzato 275 GTS originally owned by a Moroccan prince.

This issue also includes an interview with Umberto Camellini, son of Mario, the world’s very first Ferrari dealer, who let us see some amazing family photo albums. We also take a look at the usually unseen preparations that go into racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans—an amazing, and very instructive, behind-the-scenes peek. 

Moreover, you’ll be delighted by a 17 pages coverage of the 2025 Palm Beach Cavallino Classic, the 34th edition of our event, considered the most important in the Ferrari world.

 

 

F50: the road-going F1 car

 

 

F50, a model created with the aim of transferring as much as possible from an F1 into a “normal” road car, it was the first Ferrari designed to provide a Formula 1-style driving experience on the road. In fact, the F50’s engine block is effectively the same as the one in Alain Prost’s 1990 Type 641 F1 car, just slightly detuned but still capable of pushing the F50 above the 200-mph mark. Only 349 were built, including number 155, our cover car. Originally sold in Germany, it entered its current British collection in 2021, and has covered a mere 1337 miles (…plus 50 after our shoot!). The current custodian, probably the most knowledgeable in the world about the model, helped us describe the upside and the hassle of owning an F50, sharing his personal experiences.

 

 

The person responsible for s/n 8015’s hue is its first owner, Prince Abdullah Moulay, brother of King Hassan II of Morocco. He wanted it painted in his country’s colors. It was also personalized in period with additional fog lamps, required by Moroccan law and installed on the front bumper, and alloy wheels, fitted by Ferrari in place of the usual Borrani spoked wheels as they were deemed more suitable for the poor road conditions. After many years and several French owners, in 2020 the car entered its present German collection. Restored with full attention to detail, it won its class at the 2024 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.  

 

 

Garage Camellini is where memories live

 

 

For a couple of decades, Garage Camellini was the place to go. Founded by Mario Camellini, a personal friend of Enzo Ferrari, it was the very first Ferrari dealership in the world. Located in downtown Modena (where else?), it sold and serviced an amazing, almost unbelievable, number of ex-works Ferraris. Unsurprisingly, a handful of these, carefully picked, never left the premises and are now part of the Camellini collection. Umberto Camellini, son of Mario, grew up with the collection as part of the family. What’s more, at weekends he would get to play at Enzo Ferrari’s country house, and have lunch with very special customers, like Robertino Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman.

 

 

Italian Elegance: the pleasure of driving in special places

 

 

Italian Elegance is the name of a dedicated tour in the little-known Italian region of the Langhe, which saw 19 Ferraris on the road. Born of an idea by a Ferrari dealership wanting its best customers to have the chance to enjoy their Ferraris on some of Italy’s most tortuous, epic, and deserted roads, Italian Elegance showed that driving a Ferrari in Italy allows you to experience an amazing array of wonderful emotions. And in the company of friends and fellow enthusiasts to boot.
