Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Magazine Covers

[LS (lashdeep]

I always enjoyed RT Feb 82...the Countach and Boxer head to head.

 

Also, the RT Dec 84 cover with the 288GTO on front...so many to remember.

I think I have a copy of an old R&T with a 348 on the cover.  I think the inside article featured a white car, but the cover car was red? 

There have been a few covers over the years that caught my attention.  A black countach on the cover of C&D, and also a Bertone creation built on a C4 corvette.  Someone here posted pics of that cover car, while they were over in Italy visiting the museum.  Pretty cool to see the pics, and to know the car is still around.

The R&T fastest cars shootout was also memorable, with the RUF Yellowbird leading the pack.  Never thought we'd see the day were a road car surpassed it's lap time in Nardo, or 215 mph.

Alex - Which cover are you thinking about? Can you describe it?

Does anyone know where there are archives of such cover photos?

It's interesting how some of those really stick in your head. I was
looking at a 993 911 Turbo recently. It was the color I always wanted -
Arena Red, mostly because of an Automobile Magazine cover from 1994 that
had the car on the front with a splashy headline that read "Sell your
soul - Buy this car!" I had that cover on my wall for a long time. I
couldn't find it with a web search but would love to see it again.

What are some other covers that made impressions on people? I remember a
Car and Driver that had a 348 parked nose to nose with a GMC Typhoon
that made a lasting impression. What else?

Oh, mind you, I don't love the model or anything.  Though I will say
that from my limited seat time (one drive), I think performance-wise it
will show a 328 a clean pair of heals.

Just pointing out that it had some "fun" aspects to it.  I really loved
that Autoweek cover...
