Classic Italian Sports Cars

From the rounded fenders of Ferrari’s postwar barchetta to the F40’s exposed rear wing, these photographs trace how Italian sports cars changed shape. The selection focuses on road cars and competition models closely tied to the road, from the late 1940s through the late 1980s. Look for the details that separate cars you might otherwise mistake for one another: an Aurelia’s curved windshield, the short nose of a mid-engine Miura, or the side strakes of a Testarossa.
