No other name in the automotive world carries quite the same mystique. No other logo sets hearts racing like the Cavallino Rampante – the prancing horse. But what exactly is it that makes Ferrari so special? That’s the question journalist, author, artist and media creator Michael Köckritz explores in The Ferrari Book. Developed together with his editorial team at ramp, the new title is also available in a special ramp edition. Following The Lamborghini Book and The Porsche Book, this is the third volume in the internationally acclaimed The Car Book series.
The Ferrari Book takes readers on a journey through the evolution of the brand – from its passionate beginnings to the cultural icon it has become today, a world unto itself that transcends the actual product. The ramp edition features an exclusive cover and bonus content, including never-before-seen images.
Spanning 304 pages, this oversized coffee-table book immerses readers in the history and world of Ferrari through opulent visuals and insightful commentary. With his unmistakable voice and signature style, Michael Köckritz captures the very spirit of the brand – and at Ferrari, that’s no empty phrase. The brand’s influence extends far beyond the automotive realm, touching everything from luxury and fashion to pop culture.
Divided into eight chapters, this informative and aesthetically striking volume celebrates Ferrari’s devotion to speed, innovation and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Interviewees include insiders such as Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari’s design chief, and Gianmaria Fulgenzi, head of product development. They talk shop about dirty race cars, what truly matters in a sports car, and the ever-present spirit of Enzo Ferrari – whose unwavering passion for motorsport continues to shape every aspect of the brand to this day.
From the very beginning, one thing has been clear: no Ferrari without motorsport. That’s made plain by the countless trophies and titles racked up by Scuderia Ferrari. The Ferrari Book charts the role this legendary brand has played in racing. The “Milestones” chapter, for example, tells Ferrari’s story through the cars that have shaped the legacy of the brand. In richly detailed visuals and exclusive content, the book showcases the most iconic models – from the timeless Ferrari 166 Inter and the genre-defining Testarossa to the wildly extravagant Ferrari F80.
For fans of the prancing horse and all car lovers who appreciate the elegance and power of these extraordinary machines, The Ferrari Book is a must-have – offering deep yet entertaining insights into the unique Ferrari spirit. And if you’re not a Ferrari enthusiast already, you will be by the time you’ve finished reading. A collector’s item that captivates with high-gloss imagery, avant-garde aesthetics, modern design and exclusive design sketches. Coming in autumn 2025: The Maserati Book, the fourth volume in The Car Book series.
