While the monoposto 156, an icon in the world of Formula 1 and with irresistible styling by Fantuzzi, became a legend, the sports prototypes, also drawn by Fantuzzi, with their low weight and ae¬rodynamically optimised shapes, had an enduring effect on the development of two-seat race cars in the years to follow.

They ce¬lebrated wins in the Targa Florio, on the Nürburgring, and in the European Hill Climb Championship.

This book, with many previously unpublished images from the archives of the incomparable Bernard Cahier, paints a detailed pic¬ture of one of the most exciting epochs in motorsports, and one of its greatest icons the Ferrari 156, and its prototype siblings, the 246SP and 196SP
