The best Ferrari gifts

The story goes that in the first two seasons of Miami Vice, a Daytona Spider replica with Corvette underpinnings was used. But this angered Ferrari so much, that in the light of a lawsuit, the producers agreed to accept two brand new Testarossas for filming free of charge.

The Testas were originally black, but then repainted white so they could be more visible during the many night scenes in the series. This 1:18 scale model by KK is a wonderful representation of the car used. It's a 'mono-mono' car, meaning it has the single wing mirror and the single centre wheel caps - the earliest and more desirable of the Testarossa range.

Lego technic have come into their own in recent years with the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Bugatti Chiron, and numerous more.

This kit of the AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTB is no exception. The proportions are incredibly questionable, but with a V8 engine with moving pistons, working suspension, opening doors and steering, this is a hugely fun thing to build over the course of a weekend.

This model also acts as a time travel machine that transports you back to a time when car racing was at its peak in terms of drama and excitement. LEGO has done a sterling job of making this 512 look like the real version too.

If you've ever fancied yourself a Ferrari Formula One car that you'd like to build yourself, then Tamiya are happy to oblige. It's an amazingly detailed kit of Mansell's 1989 season car that helped him win the Brazilian and Hungarian Grand Prix in that year.

It was powered by a screaming 3.5 litre V12, but unfortunately, it didn't prove to be that reliable throughout the year. Mansell suffered with seven retirements and his teammate, Gerhard Berger, had 12. Still, at least you don't have to worry about an engine breaking with a model kit.

Like the 458 wheel for Xbox above, this Thrustmaster racing wheel balances performance and value. It too uses Thrustmaster's bungee mechanism to deliver reliable steering resistance and wheel self-centring.

The rubber on the steering wheel, along with the adjustable pedals, makes this wheel very ergonomic and comfortable to use. There are 11 control action buttons on the wheel for easy game navigation.

The Ferrari 288 GTO is frequently remembered as the road racer that never was. With this simple, illustration, you can forget all that hype and simply adore the 288 GTO's gorgeous proportions. Available as a high-quality PDF download in several colours.

We personally love the light green available - even though it was never offered from Ferrari as an option.

Dennis Alder's comprehensive book on the history and evolution of Ferrari is a must-have for any Ferrari enthusiast. It covers everything from the early 166 Inters to the gloriously swoopy Roma.

It doesn't use much archival photography which is a bit of a let down. But nevertheless, you are greeted with stunning images of Ferraris throughout the ages as well as the story that surrounds them along with technical specifications.

It would make for a fabulous gift to a Ferrari enthusiast or owner when you've probably tried everything else first.

If you fancy yourself browsing through Ferrari's extensive Formula One back catalogue, then this book is for you. Since the sport was founded in 1950, Ferrari have taken part in every single season - and have a lot of machines and engineering skills to be beckoned upon.

It was published in 2021, but that should be no issue to the prancing horse historian.
