Enzo Ferrari.
In 1898, a boy who was destined
to achieve great things was born
in the Italian city of Modena.
Enzo Ferrari would go on to be
renowned for being the founder
of the world-class sports car
manufacturer in both racing and
road categories. Ferraris are best
known for their sleek, stunning,
curvaceous design, eye-watering
price tag, and standard rosso corsa
(race red) paintwork. From the very
first Ferrari, the 1947 Tipo 125 S
racing sports car, through to the
most recent 2013 LaFerrari mild
hybrid limited edition road car,
Ferrari have continued to astound
enthusiasts and critics alike with
their evolutionary performance
road vehicles and Formula 1
racing pedigree.
During his youth, Enzo Ferrari
dreamed of becoming a world-
class racing driver and set out to
pursue his dream. In 1920, Alfa
Romeo spotted the young driver
and recruited Ferrari as a test driver,
where he later formed his own
team, Scuderia Ferrari, to prepare
and race the Alfa Romeos. Ferrari
started manufacturing his own
branded automobiles at the end of
World War II, and it was from here
that the legend of Ferrari flourished.
Ferrari have since gone on to
become the most identifiable sports
car manufacturer in history.
