The unconventional approach has led to a narrative comprised of large and small segments, from a recounting of Patriarch Enzo\u2019s life, through a factory tour, to grainy photos of one of his namesake supercars broken scandalously in two on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have any connection or attraction to Ferrari, you are going to want this book.
