{{TG 1977 Ferrari Special}}

==Synopsis==
{{TG Intro|narrator=Jeremy Clarkson}}<br>
In Italy, the religion is Catholicism. But the God is Ferrari.

==Trivia==
*For many years, this special was erroneously attributed as a 1996 production due to the revised version of the episode being the only extant copy.
*It was also mistakenly attributed as premiering in 1994, as that is when it was first broadcast<ref>[https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/805c474365574b31b8cc1c08c9f979c1 BBC Genome - Ferrari: The Italian Legend.]</ref> as a standalone special.
*For a time, this episode was actually available on BBC's iPlayer service. It was the only episode of pre-2002 ''Top Gear'' to be digitised for streaming in this manner.

-===1996 version===
-For 1996, the episode was updated. The Ferrari 348 segment was removed and replaced with one for the newer F355, whereas the F1 segment was considerably abridged in order to replace it with one for the F50. A title card was also added to the beginning of the episode, when in the past it had been left blank.

-===Goofs===
-*At the end of the F355 segment, corresponding footage for the scene where Clarkson is having a toast was not reshot, and this includes several close-ups of the black 348 that the new car obviously isn't.
-*When the time came to update the episode for 1996, the title and closing sequences were updated to match the [[Top Gear/Title sequence#1994_sequence|then-current intro sequence]], however, the on-screen graphics weren't, instead using the pre-1994 "green rectangle" motif.
-*Due to Gerhard Berger leaving Ferrari at the end of 1995, this means his on-screen graphic had to be hastily redone to state he drove for Ferrari from 1993 - 1995. The font used is noticeably different from the actual one used through to the end of 1993.
