Product Description Forza magazine is designed for Ferrari automobile owners and enthusiasts. Issues include track reports, reviews, current news, renovation information, photographs, and articles on the history of Ferraris…. More >>
The rumors may be true about Forza soon ceasing to publish. Subscribe at your own risk.
Quality pictures and lots of articles such as interviewing some billionaire who just bought a 1965 Ferrari whatever and is having an ex-F1 driver teach him to race it. Forza often profiles an a 30-ish yr old, restored car that has a racing history.
Buyer’s Guide:
The most (only?) useful part of Forza magazine is the Buyer’s Guide, which is published about once every six months. It takes one single model (e.g. Testarossa, 348) and tells you all sorts of valuable inside info you’d need if you were in the market for one, such as that the dashboard leather shrinks and costs $3K to fix, or that the windshield delaminates, necessitating replacement. Market experts offer price ranges for that model in various conditions. Very useful if you’re in the market to buy a used Ferrari and could be used in conjunction with a Ferrari Market Letter subscription to see what’s for sale and size it up.
In closing, I should mention that about 1/4 of Forza is also devoted to F1 racing. There’s usually a hopelessly rah-rah puff piece devoted to tireless accolades and hype whenever a new Ferrari model debuts. I guess objectivity isn’t what readers are looking for.

I am subscribing the magazine, Forza from early this year. However I could receive only two copies (43 & 44) – eight issue per a year. I called and wrote several times. The only one I got from “Extreme Unkindness” Abby Toldrian and other woman was “It’s not my fault, I sent, and call post office. It’s their fault” They even do not reveive my call or refund my money. Is it the way what they do their business? I can’t believe this. Do not subscribe their magazine!!!!! Even I gave one star, but I mean BALCK HOLE!!!!!
It’s a great magazine – when it arrives. I too am suspicious of their ability to publish. I recently paid for a two year subscription and cannot remember when the last copy arrived!

I absolutely love this magazine, it covers the full range of interesrs of any Ferrari enthusiast; Whether you like to read about vintage Ferraris or prefer to know the engineering details of the latest creation from Maranello, Forza delivers.I find most interesting the ability of the staff at Forza to report on U.S. events as well as world Ferrari meetings while keeping me informed on the racing efforts of Ferrari worldwide. Pictures are of great quality and articles are always written very well.
The proportion between articles and ads is much better than most magazine pubblished today and I find the directory section at the back of the book very helpfull.
I have never experienced a delay on subscription deliveries.
