Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Magazine Covers

[Alexander Ishii (alexishii]

Hi Charles,

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

It was the issue that covered the Frankfurt Auto Show where the 348 debuted.

Red TB on the show flow.  Somewhat exaggerated perspective from the
front-driver's quarter view.  Probably said "348" somewhere, but the
headlines was simply "FRANKFURT!, and the seal of show was stamped
prominently on the cover.

Absolutely beautiful shot; intakes on the C-pillars could seen, as could the
bulge of the door profiles, and the smoothly-integrated side grates.  Gave
the impression of a very compact car, "athletic/purposeful", rather than
"sexy/showy"; looked like a guided missile...

The headline also really made the cover great.  It was completely obvious
what the car was (there probably had been spy photos for months), but the
implication was that the Ferrari was the star of the show, and had blown
away everyone there.  Gotta like that!

I still have a copy somewhere.  I saved it on the off chance that I ever got
a 348.  If I had, I would have framed that cover and put it in my office
someplace... :)
