1948 COME SI DISEGNO' LA LEGGENDA. RACCONTO INTORNO ALLA GENESI DEL DESIGN DELLA FERRARI 166 MM E DELLA PORSCHE 356
In this work, author Massimo Grandi does not seek to reconstruct the complex and fascinating histories of the Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta and the Porsche 356 N1 Roadster.
There is already an extensive and detailed literature on this subject, but he wishes to analyse and understand the genesis of their design, the matrices, the objective and subjective factors underlying their form in a comparison between two cars that were born with the same aims and therefore of the same nature, the sporty type, and the same kind, the two-seater spider.
In approaching the subject of 356 roadster, it was not possible, materially and philologically, to avoid the coupé version, the 356 model; an icon, together with the later 911, of the Porsche production and 'style'.
Even more interesting was to observe in parallel the development of the other car at the centre of analysis: the Ferrari 166 MM. In fact, it was above all in the berlinetta sphere that the "Italian Style" was especially articulated and consolidated in that exemplary journey that was and still is the timeless Italian "granturismo" car.
