Cavallino 275

Cavallino 275 (October-November 2026) gathers the stories, people, and machines that continue to shape Ferrari's remarkable legacy, from the Monterey lawns to the Dolomite passes and the heart of the racetrack.

The issue opens with Monterey Car Week, where the number of Ferraris on the Peninsulanever fails to astonish. We bring you the major events of The Week, from Pebble Beach and the Quail to Casa Ferrari, plus the auction results. We then travel to the Louis Vuitton Dolomites Classic Run, back after years of absence and, starting from Venice, as magical as ever.

Our cover car is the 1954 250 Monza Spyder Scaglietti, s/n 0442: one of only two built and the sole survivor in its original configuration, raced by Scuderia Guastalla and now restored by Ferrari Classiche to return to the Carrera Panamericana configuration. Inside, we celebrate Carrozzeria Scaglietti and its founder, Sergio Scaglietti, and meet Egidio Brandoli, who has probably hammered and caressed more Ferrari bodies than anyone else. We also revisit the 1984 308 GTM, s/n 002, the pillar that led to the 288 GTO and the F40.

Elsewhere, a first-hand test of the new Ferrari F80, told by one of its very first owners in the USA, and a conversation with Flavio Manzoni on how its style came to life.

Plus our Corsa race roundup, editorial voices, and the specialist-compiled Ferrari market values. Enjoy the issue! This is Cavallino at its core: authoritative, passionate, and devoted to the cars, histories, and personalities that make Ferrari unlike any other marque.

Monterey Car Week 2026

Everything that takes place around Monterey in mid-August each year adds an important piece to the overall picture of the classic (and now also modern) car world. Auction records? Concours d’Elegance? Tours? Take your pick. One striking aspect is the pretty stunning number of Ferraris present on the Monterey Peninsula. This issue covers the major events of The Week - Pebble Beach, the Quail, and Casa Ferrari - plus the auction results. The classes at Pebble Beach alone provide us with more than enough material to report.

Louis Vuitton Dolomites Classic Run

In the past, the Louis Vuitton Classic Runs were among the events enthusiasts most dreamed of attending. And not only because of the cars. Indeed, those fortunate enough to take part got to taste life at its most refined. After a number of years’ absence, the Classic Run is now back and, judging by what we experienced, it has not lost its magic touch. The starting place? Venice, of course, where the last Classic Run finished years ago.

1954 250 Monza Spyder Scaglietti s/n 0442

One of only two examples manufactured, and the only one surviving in its original configuration, s/n 0442 was originally sold to Franco Cornacchia of Scuderia Guastalla and extensively raced, including in the 1954 Carrera Panamericana. Following years of careful restoration by Ferrari Classiche, it has now returned to that same race, sporting its original configuration and livery.

Carrozzeria Scaglietti

Anyone who writes about Ferrari is bound to have come across Scaglietti, the Modenese coachbuilder that dressed so many Ferrari racers during the heyday of sports car racing. But who was Sergio Scaglietti, the company’s founder, and how did he come to be such an important supplier to Ferrari, as well as a dear friend of Enzo and the only man in history to have a Ferrari model named after him while still alive?

1984 308 GTM s/n 002

The 308 GTM remains a hugely important pillar in Ferrari history. In fact, the model was the basis for the future 288 GTO, which in turn became the Evoluzione and finally the F40. Unfortunately, the cancellation of the Group B category and changes in IMSA rules killed off the project before it was finalized. But s/n 002, the second of the three examples built and the only one to actually compete, did have a very good outing in one race.

Egidio Brandoli

From his years at Scaglietti, spent creating the bodies of some of the most important Ferraris in history, to his work at his own firm, founded to restore the very car bodies he had created years earlier, Egidio Brandoli has probably hammered and caressed more Ferrari bodies than any other human being. Becoming aware through his work of the shortage of spare parts, he embarked on a manufacturing journey, too, while never abandoning the use of his own hands and precious tools. The result? It is difficult to find a classic Ferrari without the “Brandoli” touch. What a story!

2026 F80

Everybody is keen to learn how the new Ferrari F80 hypercar drives, and we went the extra mile in order to find out. Instead of having one for a few hours, we asked the owner of s/n 326492, one of the very first delivered in the USA, to tell us about life with such a car. And yes, he drives it, and intends to keep doing so extensively, including on track days. And, to go one step further, we asked Flavio Manzoni, Chief Design Officer, who has led the Ferrari Design Studio since 2010, to tell us how the F80’s style came about.

Corsa: GT, WEC and F1

In this column, we bring you up to date with the opening races in the 2026 GT and WEC seasons, as well as the first four rounds on the F1 calendar.

Finally, as always, Cavallino brings you the voices of several editorialists, discussing a variety of topics, as well as a full and updated list of Ferrari market values (also of the latest models) compiled by specialists analyzing the values and market trends of different Ferrari cars.
