Historical Racing Record: The opening section, titled "Le più fulgide vittorie" (The Most Glorious Victories), details year by year, from 1947 to 1952, the international triumphs achieved by Ferrari on circuits around the world (G.P. di Roma, Mille Miglia, Le Mans, Carrera Panamericana, Silverstone, among others). Original factory catalog published by Maranello c. 1953 (dated by official record of victories up to the end of 1952).
Central Engineering Illustration (Cutaway): A full-color centerfold with a highly precise artistic drawing showing the bare tubular chassis, leaf spring suspension, brake drums, rear fuel tank, and engine layout.

Performance Tables ("Prestazioni"): Official data showing calculated speed ratios at 7200 rpm using 6.00 x 16 tires, detailing the gear ratios for each gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) according to the selected rear axle ratio (9/42, 9/40, 10/40, 11/40).
Colombo V12 Engine Specifications Sheet: Side-mounted technical block on a blue background listing the 12 cylinders in a 60° V configuration, total displacement of 2953 cc, silumin block and crankcase, battery ignition with two Marelli high-voltage distributors, and the legendary fuel system with three Weber 36 IF/4C inverted four-barrel carburetors to achieve 240 hp.

Official Chassis Data ("Telaio"): Technical specifications sheet certifying the dynamic behavior of the 4-speed synchronized gearbox, rigid rear axle, iconic front and rear suspension with Houdaille shock absorbers, SAGA rubber components, right-hand steering, pedal-operated hydraulic brakes, and lightweight alloy spoked wheels for Pirelli tires (6.40 x 15 front and 6.00 x 16 rear).
