At 50cm square The Official Ferrari Opus tells the story of the Prancing Horse on an unprecedented and epic scale.
The Opus celebrates the magic of Ferrari, whether on the road, on the track with the F1 team, in the cockpit with the drivers or behind the scenes with the workers at the legendary factory in Maranello, Italy.

A Cast of Legends
An impressive cast of Ferrari legends, past and present, includes Luca di Montezemolo, Enzo Ferrari, Alberto Ascari, Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher, Jean Todt and many, many more.
It was a real thrill, combined with a sense of great responsibility and honour, when Ferrari granted us the privilege of telling their story on such an unprecedented scale. Hundreds of books have been devoted to Ferrari over the years, but I believe The Official Ferrari Opus goes way beyond anything that has been published previously. Each of the 852 pages is a true testament to the creativity that has gone into its production and will give pleasure to generations to come.
