Super sports cars clearly need no description. Ferrari trusts with the prospectus solely on the effect of the picture. On black, glossy background is imaged a red racer, at the beginning a memory photo on the 250 GT Testa Rossa (twelve-cylinder) of 1958. The now considerably larger vehicle with almost the same name can be seen from all possible perspectives (except from below). Added to that comes with every noble vehicle at an extra charge available luggage set, custom-made for the existing trunk.

The engine can be seen from the side with its red valve hoods and from top with the bell housing and the power transmission to the below lying transmission with axle drive. One of the two cylinder heads let us look to its four valves per cylinder and imagine the two camshafts. The rear axle with the two dampers per side can be seen as a photograph and a screen print from a CAD design program. Similarly, the CAD surface of the body in three-dimensional representation. Computer help, to sell such a car.

What remains is a full page each for a wonderful performance and torque curve, which apparently should also refers to the measurement with computer help. It is not as smooth as we know from brochures. What can not be missed and of course easier to translate are the motor and other vehicle data. To Italian, English and German language, the French now been added. Obviously could also export there be stimulated.
