Ferrari S.p.A. is an Italian sports car
manufacturer based in Maranello and Modena,
Italy. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929 as
Scuderia Ferrari, the main purpose this company
was to organize racing for its members. This was
the beginning of a strong involvement in motor
sport. Throughout its history, the company has
been noted for its continued participation in
racing, especially in Formula One, where it has
largely enjoyed great success. The first Ferrari
road car was the 1947 125 S, powered by a
1.5-litre V12 engine. Throughout the 1950s and
1960s, such greats as the 250 GT, 250 GTO and
275 GTB were produced, clothed in beautiful
bodies that were penned by Pininfarina. Other
memorable models followed throughout the 1970s,
1980s and 1990s, such as the 246 Dino, 365 GTB
Daytona, 512BB, 308 GTS, Testarossa and F40,
produced in 1988 to celebrate Ferrari's 40 years
of building automobiles. |
