I have been in touch yesterday with this author and was made aware about this new release which will be made freely available to everyone. What a great gesture! So much effort and dedication went into this archive project. All details can be found below, I copied this content from the Facebook Group, for those who have not got a FB account. And of course the 400 is covered in this design archive as well ;-) In fact I spotted some unknown photo material, how's that!?
If you appreciate his effort a small donation can always be made. But download it first. Mind you, it's a large document. So use that download time to get a fresh cup of coffee meanwhile. Enjoy! (if you have a spare evening).

This complimentary edition is my way of saying thank you to everyone who has supported this community over the years. Together, we have built one of the largest independent Ferrari communities on Facebook, bringing together collectors, historians, designers, photographers and enthusiasts from around the world who share the same passion for the Prancing Horse.
More than twenty-five years ago, in an article I wrote in 1999, I reflected on the future of Ferrari and the automobile itself. I wondered whether the great era of handcrafted design, independent coachbuilders and passionate dreamers would one day come to an end.
Would the stories of craftsmen shaping aluminium with wooden hammers become nothing more than memories? Would future generations value software more than sculpture, digital interfaces more than mechanical beauty?
During the decades that followed, I devoted myself to documenting that extraordinary story.
The result is Ferrari – The History of a Legend—an independent encyclopedia covering the complete evolution of Ferrari, from the earliest days of Enzo Ferrari and Scuderia Ferrari to the latest generation of road cars, concept cars and design studies.
This complimentary volume, Ferrari Design Archive, is dedicated to more than seventy years of Ferrari design. It presents concept cars, styling studies, coachbuilt masterpieces, one-off creations and experimental projects that shaped the visual identity of Ferrari through every decade of its history.
Inside you will discover hundreds of rare photographs, restored historical images, reconstructed design sketches and original artwork, many prepared especially for this publication after years of historical research and digital restoration.
Perhaps, while turning these pages, you will arrive at the same conclusion that I reached while writing the final chapter of this encyclopedia.
Technology changes.
Design evolves.
Generations come and go.
But as long as there are people who continue to dream, the Ferrari story is never truly over.
I hope this complimentary edition becomes the beginning of your own journey through Ferrari – The History of a Legend.
