If you're looking for info, I can suggest the Pininfarina website to you.
Because they designed the majority of the Ferrari's in the past. They have
also a lot of info on other (italian) models of the past.

PS What is the essay for? I'm interested because I am looking for automotive
design research courses.

I can also recommend two books written by Penny Sparke to you (thought about
it later):
Italian Design
A century of Car Design

I think Ferrari's had a lot of impact on *automotive* design. But I don't
think they've really "rocked" design world in general. There were a lot of
cars that came out before and around the first Ferrari that were just as
monumental, such as the early Auto Union cars, and Mercedes models that came
out after Ferrari's debut. The same could be said for the later cars like
the Jaguar C and D-Type, and the Ford GT-40.

I knew this was coming, and you know what? I didn't care!!

"So let's leave it alone
'Cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy
There ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree
Ooh...hoo
Oh, oh, whoa ..."

Now, let's see if Tiger can be equally magnanimous!

It ain't a question of magnanimity, it's right or wrong; and you were
wrong enough to be crowned Queen of RASF1...

(_Not_ the honor one might suppose.)

I'm lost. Clue me in, or are you talking about her? A forgotten argument?

There was an article in a past FORZA Magazine that discussed how Ferrari
design cues have shown up in cars by other manufacturers.
