The spectacular story of Ferrari's 7-decade journey from an upstart racing team to a $30 billion-dollar luxury brand

• Ferrari is one of the most valuable brands in the world.
• Ferrari — the Italian supercar maker and Formula One racing operation — is worth $30 billion.
• Unlike many of its rivals, Ferrari is a racing operation first and car company second. 
• Ferrari was founded as a racing team with the sale of road cars as a means to fund the racing operation. 
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Over the past seven decades, Ferrari has come a long way since its start as a fledgling racecar builder . 

In 2015, Ferrari's IPO on the New York Stock Exchange valued the company at nearly $10 billion. Now, the company's market cap has risen to $30 billion. This makes the car maker one of the most valuable and recognizable brands in the world ; its "prancing horse" logo is synonymous with sex, money and the high life. 

Ferrari wasn't always the global luxury brand that's now being traded in New York. The company's early days as a maker of racing cars were rather humble, and it took an Italian-American racing star named Luigi Chinetti to begin the transformation into a purveyor of glamorous supercars for the world's well-heeled. The company's success drew takeover interest, and later rivalry, from Ford – before Ferrari eventually became part of FIAT.

For many years, Ferrari artificially limited its annual production figures to preserve the exclusivity of its cars. However, since the IPO in the fall of 2015, the company has steadily increased the number of cars it delivers to customers.

But even if Ferrari sells 10,000 cars, those cars are still exceedingly rare. In fact, most of the company's models are supply limited in that the number it sells is limited not by how many people want to buy a car but by how many they can make. 

Here is the story of Ferrari's incredible seven-decade-plus journey: 

An earlier version of this story was written by Benjamin Zhang.

In 1908, A 10-year-old Enzo Ferrari saw his first car race and immediately became hooked. As a young adult, Enzo was drafted by the Italian army to fight in World War I.

After the war, Enzo had a hard time finding work in the auto business. He applied to work at Fiat, but was rejected to due an abundance of unemployed war veterans. Eventually, he found work at smaller automakers.

By the early 1920s, Enzo landed a job at Alfa Romeo as a race car driver. Fellow drivers at the company included legendary aces like Tazio Nuvolari, seen here in an Alfa.

In 1929, Enzo launched Scuderia Ferrari or "Team Ferrari." There was no car company yet — Scuderia consisted of a group of drivers who raced the cars they owned.

The team raced mostly Alfa Romeo cars. By 1933, Scuderia Ferrari had essentially become Alfa's racing division.

In 1937, Enzo shut down Scuderia Ferrari and became the head of Alfa Romeo's factory racing operation — Alfa Corse. But that wouldn't last. He wasn't happy.

A week after leaving Alfa Corse in 1939, Enzo started up Auto Avio Costruzioni. The AAC 815 is the first car Ferrari's startup built on its own.

AAC built two 815 cars in 1940. Both were prohibited from carrying the Ferrari name due to a noncompete agreement between Enzo and his previous employers. The agreement prohibited Ferrari from using his name in relation to races or race cars for at least four years.

Although WWII forced Ferrari to curtail his racing activities, his company got back to work immediately following the war. In 1945, the company introduced a new V12 engine that would become one of Ferrari's signature offerings.

In 1947, Ferrari launched the 125. And since the noncompete agreement with Alfa had lapsed, this was the first car to carry the Ferrari name.

In the late 40s, Luigi Chinetti — a successful Italian-born racing driver and newly naturalized American citizen — approached Ferrari about the prospect of building sports cars for the public.

New York Times

Ferrari was hesitant because his company's main purpose was to win races. At that point, the only cars Ferrari sold were for privateers. Chinetti started racing and winning in Ferrari's cars around the world.

By the early 1950s, Luigi Chinetti got the sports cars he wanted and opened the very first Ferrari dealership in the US. Chinetti's showroom was located in Manhattan, but was later relocated to Connecticut.

The US became a huge market for Ferrari's cars. Even today, it remains Ferrari's most lucrative market. This opened the floodgates for Ferrari's business. Legendary cars such as the California Spider ....

... the GTO and ...

... the Testarossa soon appeared.

By the 1960s, Ferrari's cars demonstrated their prowess on and off the track.

In 1963, Ford CEO Henry Ford II jumped at the opportunity to buy Ferrari's road car business. The deal failed after Enzo found out that Ferrari would have to ask Ford for money from Detroit to go racing.

Incensed by his failure to close the deal, Ford decided to beat Enzo's team at the 24 Hours of LeMans.

Ferrari ruled Le Mans at the time. Enzo and his team had dominated the grueling 24 hour-long endurance sports-car race — winning six times in a row from 1960-1965.

By 1966, Ford's challenger for Ferrari's cars was ready. The legendary GT40 was set to race at Le Mans.

Henry Ford II got his revenge. The GT40 won Le Mans with a stunning 1-2-3 finish, ending Ferrari's dominance.

Ford would go on to win four years in a row — from 1966 until 1969.

By 1969, Enzo realized his company needed additional resources not only to be successful, but also to survive. That year, Ferrari sold 50% of the business to the company that once refused to give him a job — Fiat!

Enzo Ferrari died in 1988 at the age of 90. But before his passing, he signed off on one final car to commemorate the 40th anniversary of his company.

The mighty F40!

After the passing of Enzo Ferrari, longtime executive Luca di Montezemolo assumed the position of President and later Chairman. Under his guidance, Ferrari was transformed into a global luxury brand.

Today, the company sells its supercars for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

And its hypercars for millions.

Ferrari also licenses everything from clothes to jewelry.

There's even a Ferrari-themed amusement park!

On the racing front, Ferrari is still at the top of its game. The company's Formula One team — still called Scuderia Ferrari — has won eight world championships since Enzo's death.

With its IPO, Ferrari completed its transformation from a startup racing operation to a multibillion-dollar global brand. But true to its roots, Ferrari trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RACE.

Since the IPO, the company's market cap has risen to $30 billion, thanks to big-ticket cars such as the 812 Superfast.

Ultra-exclusive models like the Monza SP1 and SP2 — $2 million cars — have also helped.

On the auction market, Ferraris have set records. In 2018, a Ferrari went for $48 million, breaking a previous record of just over $38 million in 2014.

All eyes are on the next major new vehicle from Maranello — the Purosangue, Ferrari's first SUV. Or "FUV," as the company likes to say.

And it's rumored that Ferrari could launch an all-electric supercar. In the meantime, there's the SF90 Stradale. It's the most powerful production Ferrari ever, making almost 1,000 horsepower from its turbocharged V8 engine and three-motor hybrid drive system.

A Short History of Ferrari

In the pantheon of automotive history, few names ignite the passion, emotion and devotion like Ferrari. The very mention of this iconic brand conjures images of sumptuous supercars, a racing pedigree unlike any other and of course, the famous prancing horse. Read on to discover the astonishing history of Ferrari.

The legend of Ferrari is more than just speed or luxury—it’s also inherently bound by the indomitable spirit of its founder, Enzo Ferrari, who turned his dreams into reality. From the winding back streets of Modena to the global spotlight, the history of Ferrari is one of tenacity, innovation, and sheer audacity.

Whether it’s recalling the first glimpse of a 250 GT or a Testarossa, the exhilaration of witnessing F1 legends like Fangio, Lauda or Schumacher celebrated by the passionate tifosi, or the very mention of the names Maranello and Enzo, Ferrari transcends being merely a car manufacturer. For countless enthusiasts, it’s a way of life.

In this article, we’ll look at the Ferrari model history as well as evoking the passion and excitement of the history of Scuderia Ferrari.

So how did Ferrari transform from a small racing team into a global phenomenon? It all started with the dreams of a ten year-old boy.

The Story of Enzo Ferrari

The history of Ferrari is the history of its founder. Enzo Ferrari was born in the northern Italian town of Modena in 1898, very close to the birthplace of future nemesis Ferruccio Lamborghini. He had little in the way of formal education but in 1908 at the age of ten, he watched racing driver Felice Nazzaro win the Circuit de Bologna and decided there and then to become a racing driver.

After an early discharge from the Italian Army due to a severe bout of flu during the end of World War I — a pandemic that claimed the lives of his father Alfredo and older brother, Alfredo Jr — he sought employment in the burgeoning car industry.

After being turned down for a job by Fiat — ironically a company that would come to part-own Ferrari in years to come — he got a job as a test driver for a long forgotten Milan-based car company called CMN, or Construzioni Meccaniche Nazionali. He was soon promoted to works driver and his competitive debut came in the 1919 Parma-Poggio di Berceto hillclimb.

A year later, he was driving for Alfa Romeo and enjoyed some success. However in 1929, he founded Modena-based Scuderia Ferrari. History was about to be made.

Italian for ‘stable’, scuderia was the name of the company set up, in close collaboration with Alfa Romeo, to allow owner-drivers to race in competitions. Enzo drove for a couple of years but retired from racing in 1931 to focus on both the business and his new-born son Alfredo, known to the world as Dino.

During the 1930s, Enzo Ferrari took charge of Alfa’s racing division. However, for a number of bureaucratic reasons, the two parted company in 1939. Enzo wanted to set up an eponymous company but a clause in his contract prohibited him from using the name Ferrari for four years.

He set up Auto Avio Construzioni and, in 1947, moved his centre of operations to Maranello. This is where the history of Ferrari and its most famous cars really starts.

The First Ferrari Cars

The first car to bear the Ferrari name was the 125 S, a beautiful 1.5-litre V12 roadster. Only two were produced, and in the company’s early years the difference between their road cars and the racing cars was so small as to be rendered almost insignificant. In fact Enzo Ferrari was barely interested in producing cars for the road, his focus was winning races. However Ferrari’s on-track success was fuelling the public’s desire for road cars and he relented.

Grand tourers in the shape of the 166 Inter, 195 Inter and 212 Inter were released in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In 1953, during a transition from a small number of hand-built cars to series production, the 250 series designed by Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina was launched. It was the first incarnation of what many consider to be the most beautiful car ever made, the Ferrari 250 GT.

In 1956, the history of Ferrari was beset by tragedy. Enzo’s son Dino, who helped develop the company’s iconic V6 engine, died of muscular dystrophy at the tender age of 24.

The Ups & Downs of Ferrari

The race team enjoyed remarkable success in Formula 1 in the 1950s and 1960s, however the road car business at the same time – despite the style benchmark set by the 250 GT, the 250 Testa Rossa and the stunning 275 GTB4 – was floundering.

Ferrari history as we know it was threatened. The company was losing market share to the larger-than-life Americans in the guise of Carroll Shelby’s brutally fast Cobra and the sensational Ford GT4. After talks with Ford to buy Ferrari dramatically broke down, Enzo sold 50% of his beloved business to Fiat in 1969, and the cash injection allowed Ferrari to dominate the supercar market once again.

Ferrari built the famous Fiorano test track close to the Maranello factory and launched the 365 GT/4, as stereotypical a 1970s sports car as there ever was. The Carrozzeria Scaglietti design house was incorporated into Ferrari in the 1970s and they started to churn out cars in very high numbers. One of the last of the 1970s Ferraris was the automatic 400i. As the 1980s arrived, Ferrari were back on top with some truly mind-blowing cars.

Red is the Colour

The sensational 4.9-litre flat-12, 180 mph Ferrari Testarossa ( literally ‘red head’ so named for the red-painted cam covers ) was followed up by the even more dramatic F40, at the time the most powerful production car ever built. The 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 was astonishing and it paved the way for the modern history of Ferrari to take shape.

Enzo Ferrari died in 1988 — the F40 was the last car he personally signed off — and Luca di Montezemolo took charge, overseeing the golden age of Scuderia Ferrari history in the shape of Michael Schumacher’s all-conquering domination. As well as masterminding F1 success — Schumacher’s 2000 championship win was the team’s first since Jody Scheckter in 1979 — di Montezemolo reinvigorated the road car business.

From Analogue to Electric - The Evolution of Ferrari

The Ferrari car history has evolved dramatically from the early days of the 125 S to today’s hybrid hypercars. The 1990s welcomed the F40’s big brother, the 4.7-litre V12 F50. That was followed up by the 6.0-litre V12 Enzo carrying tech straight out of Ferrari’s F1 cars, including ceramic brakes and a carbon fibre body.

Ferrari carried on the trend of making beautiful, immensely fast mid-engined supercars all through the 2000s, with the 360, 430, 458 and the California. The range also included swooping front-engined grand tourers like the 599 and the 612 Scaglietti.

Today, Ferrari’s range of sublime cars includes mid-engined speed machines like the F8, Roma and the 812 Superfast and limited production ultra high performance sports cars like the Monza SP1 and SP2 and the Daytona SP3.

They also launched the company’s first four-door production car, the 6.5-litre, 715 hp V12 Purosangue. It’s Ferrari’s first foray into the SUV market and was created to compete with the Lamborghini Urus and the Aston Martin DBX.

The Ferrari model history is also now expanding with hybrid cars. Among them are the V8 SF90 Stradale and the three-litre, twin-turbocharged 296. Additionally, the LaFerrari, equipped with a 6.3-litre V12 paired with an electric motor using F1 KERS technology, boasts an impressive 950 hp. This model can reach a reported top speed of 218 mph and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds.

The Legacy of Ferrari

Tracing the history of Ferrari is akin to embarking on a journey through the annals of automotive excellence.

From its humble inception in the alleys of Modena to its global prominence on racetracks and roads, Ferrari has been a testament to the power of dreams, innovation, and unyielding passion.

The prancing horse logo — Cavallino Rampante — is an instantly recognisable emblem of luxury, speed, design and engineering prowess. For all its achievements and challenges, Ferrari, as a brand, business and concept, is not just about cars. It’s about heritage, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.

Why Ferrari is More Than Just a Car: The Brand’s Cultural Impact and Influence

Richard Shults, GG (GIA)

• July 21, 2023
• brand , Car , culture , driving , ferrari , luxury

Ferrari is more than just a car. It is a brand that has had a significant cultural impact and influence on society for over seven decades. From its beginnings in 1947, Ferrari has become an iconic symbol of luxury, speed, and excellence. Its reputation is not only based on its engineering prowess but also on the cultural significance of the brand.

The Origins of Ferrari

Ferrari was founded by Enzo Ferrari, a former race car driver who had a vision of creating the ultimate sports car. Enzo Ferrari had a passion for racing and saw his brand as an extension of that passion. From the beginning, Ferrari was not just a car but an expression of the racing culture that Enzo Ferrari was so passionate about.

In the 1940s, the Italian automotive industry was in shambles due to the aftermath of World War II. However, Enzo Ferrari saw an opportunity to create a car that was not only fast but also elegant and luxurious. He founded his company, Scuderia Ferrari, in 1947 with the goal of creating a car that could compete with the best in the world.

Ferrari’s Cultural Impact

Ferrari’s cultural impact can be seen in many areas of society. From movies to music, Ferrari has been featured in many different forms of media. In movies like “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “The Italian Job,” Ferrari has been portrayed as a symbol of wealth and success, and the ultimate status symbol for those who have made it.

Ferrari has also had a significant impact on the world of fashion. The iconic prancing horse logo is one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. It has been featured on clothing, accessories, and even fragrances. The brand has become synonymous with luxury and style, and the logo has become a status symbol in its own right.

Moreover, Ferrari’s cultural impact goes beyond just movies and fashion. It has also influenced the world of art. In 2011, Ferrari celebrated its 60th anniversary by commissioning ten contemporary artists to create works inspired by the iconic sports car. The resulting exhibition, titled “Ferrari Art Edition,” showcased the brand’s influence on art and culture.

Ferrari’s Influence on Sports

Ferrari’s influence on sports cannot be overstated. The brand has been a dominant force in Formula One racing for decades. Ferrari has won over 200 Grand Prix races and 16 Constructors’ Championships, making it one of the most successful teams in the history of the sport.

Beyond its success on the track, Ferrari has also had a significant impact on the world of sports car racing. The Ferrari 250 GTO is widely regarded as one of the greatest sports cars ever made. Its design and engineering have influenced countless sports cars that have followed in its footsteps.

Ferrari’s influence on the world of sports is not limited to just racing. The brand has also been involved in other sports, such as football. In 2019, Ferrari signed a sponsorship deal with Juventus F.C., one of the most successful football clubs in the world. The partnership between Ferrari and Juventus F.C. showcased the brand’s commitment to excellence and success, both on and off the track.

Ferrari’s Impact on Business

Ferrari’s impact on business has been significant as well. The brand has become a model for luxury brands around the world. Its focus on exclusivity and quality has made it one of the most valuable brands in the world. Ferrari has also been a pioneer in the world of branding and marketing. Its partnerships with other luxury brands have set the standard for co-branding and cross-promotion.

Ferrari’s business impact goes beyond just the high-end automotive industry. It has also influenced the world of finance. In 2015, Ferrari went public with an initial public offering (IPO) that valued the company at over $9 billion. The IPO was one of the most successful in history, and it showcased the brand’s value and influence in the business world.

In conclusion, Ferrari is more than just a car. Its cultural impact and influence can be seen in many areas of society. From its origins as a passion project of Enzo Ferrari to its current status as a global luxury brand, Ferrari has always been more than just a car. Its impact on sports, fashion, art, and business is a testament to the power of a brand that is built on passion, excellence, and innovation. Ferrari’s cultural impact has made it an icon of luxury and success, and it will continue to inspire and influence generations to come.

11 Fast Facts About Ferrari

By jenny peters | sep 2, 2015.

They're zippy, sleek, and the perfect car to steal from your dad's garage when you're playing hooky . Read on for some fast facts about the luxury Italian auto maker.

1. ENZO FERRARI STAYED CLOSE TO HOME.

Enzo Ferrari, the famed driver who founded both the Scuderia Ferrari Grand Prix motor racing team and automaker Ferrari S.p.A ., was born in Modena in 1898. While he logged thousands of miles traveling the world with his racing team, his heart and company remained in Modena and nearby Maranello. Today Ferrari headquarters is in Maranello, where there's also the Museo Ferrari , an incredible museum devoted to the brand. 

2. THE “PRANCING HORSE” LOGO IS A NOD TO AN ITALIAN FLYING ACE OF WORLD WAR I.  

In 1923, Enzo Ferrari met the Count and Countess Baracca after winning a race. The pair were the parents of the famed World War I flying ace Francesco Baracca, who had died in action in 1918. As the legend goes, Baracca's parents suggested that Ferrari adopt their son’s “prancing horse” logo for his racing Scuderia (team), reportedly saying it would “bring him luck.” Nine years later, Alfa Romeo (the team that Ferrari raced for) allowed Ferrari to put the logo on his car for the 1932 Spa 24 Hours. The yellow shield is in honor of his hometown.

3. WORLD WAR II DELAYED THE LAUNCH OF THE FIRST FERRARI.  

Ferrari began his racing career as a driver for C.M.N (Costruzioni Meccaniche Nazionali) in 1919 and quickly jumped over to Alfa Romeo, where he would be appointed head of the Alfa Corse racing division. In 1939 he struck out on his own and began building race cars after agreeing to not use the name “Ferrari” for four years. In 1940, Enzo Ferrari produced two 815 Auto Avio Costruzioni cars—but these weren’t official Ferraris yet. Then World War II intervened, and Ferrari’s factory in Maranello was bombed by Allied forces in 1944 and again in 1945. After these setbacks, the first official Ferrari, the V12 125 S , debuted in March 1947, two years after the war ended. 

4. ONLY TWO OF THAT FIRST MODEL WERE EVER MADE.  

Even after Ferrari finally got the ball rolling with that first official model, the 1,500-cubic-centimeter 12-cylinder 125 S, the company didn’t start mass-producing cars—only two were manufactured. The car made its competitive debut at the Piacenza Circuit on May 11, 1947, driven by Franco Cortese . Enzo Ferrari would later call that race “ a promising failure ” after fuel pump issues forced Cortese to drop out of the race while he was leading. 

Once that issue was fixed, it didn’t take long for the 125 S to become a legend. On May 25 it won the Rome Grand Prix at the city’s Terme di Caracalla Circuit, one of six victories Ferrari picked up in a 13-race stretch. Sadly for auto historians, the two cars were not preserved. Instead, Ferrari dismantled both cars and used their parts to make the company’s next models.

5. THE CLASSIC FERRARI RED COLOR WASN’T THE COMPANY’S CHOICE.

Today’s Ferraris come in colors ranging from bright yellow (Giallo Modena) to soft metallic grey (Grigio Alloy), but originally they were all red (Rosso Scuderia). That wasn’t Enzo Ferrari’s decision, however. Red was the color that the International Automobile Federation (FIA) assigned to all Italian Grand Prix racecars in the early years of auto racing. And most people still overwhelmingly choose red as the color for their Ferrari; the color represents 45 percent of Ferraris sold.

6. FIAT OWNS A BIG STAKE IN THE COMPANY.  

In 1969, Enzo Ferrari sold 50 percent of his company to the Fiat Group, a deal that gave Ferrari S.p.A. a needed infusion of capital. Around the time of his death in 1988, Enzo Ferrari and his son Piero Ferrari sold even more of the company, retaining only 10 percent ownership. According to a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the parent company, now known as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), plans to spin off the Ferrari division by early 2016.

7. YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE EVERY ELEMENT OF YOUR FERRARI.  

Ferrari’s Tailor Made program allows buyers to personalize every component of their car. This bespoke experience happens at the Maranello factory, where buyers can choose everything from livery colors to interior trims, finishes, and accessories. Three collections are available: Scuderia (racing-influenced selections); Classica (modern takes on the iconic Ferrari GT); and Inedita (innovative and out-of-the-box combinations). Once a buyer makes these choices, they can expect it to take up to two years to receive their car. Famous names like Eric Clapton and golfer Ian Poulter have created their own custom-designed Ferraris.

8. FERRARI DRIVERS HAVE WON MORE THAN 5,000 SANCTIONED RACES.  

Those first victories in 1947 were a pretty good sign of things to come. According to the company, Ferrari has taken home more than 5,000 trophies over the decades. Those laurels include 15 F1 Drivers’ World titles, 16 F1 Constructors’ World titles, 14 Sports Car Manufacturers’ World titles, nine victories in the Le Mans 24 Hours, eight in the Mille Miglia, seven in the Targa Florio, and 216 in F1 grands prix, according to the company. 

9. LICENSING AND MERCHANDISING IS BIG BUSINESS FOR FERRARI.  

Today’s Ferrari design team works on more than just automobiles. At its 30 outposts around the world, Ferrari rings up approximately $1.5 billion in worldwide retail sales every year. The shops stock Ferrari-logoed clothing, watches, sunglasses, shoes, mobile phone covers and of course, scale models of the cars. But be warned, prices are not cheap: Even a model of the Ferrari F14T at 1:8 scale will set you back a cool $5,400. 

10. A PLAN TO LIMIT ANNUAL PRODUCTION DIDN’T LAST LONG.  

In 2013, Ferrari decided that making too many cars was not in the company’s best interests. To combat a potential dilution of the product, annual production would be capped at just 7,000 cars . Despite price tags starting at $200,000 and going well past $400,000, the cap was designed to protect the brand, according to longtime company chairman Luca di Cordero Montezemolo, who told reporters, “The exclusivity of Ferrari is fundamental for the value of our products. We made the decision to make fewer cars because otherwise, we risk injecting too many cars on the market.” But by 2014, Montezemolo was out as chairman. Sergio Marchionne was in, and he’s already ramped production back up to 7,200 with plans to eventually produce 10,000 Ferraris a year. 

11. THERE’S A FERRARI THEME PARK IN ABU DHABI, COMPLETE WITH AN F1 ROLLERCOASTER  

Ferrari opened its first theme park, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, in 2010. Touted as the world’s largest indoor theme park, it boasts four “Thrill” rides, including the F1-inspired Formula Rossa rollercoaster—the fastest rollercoaster in the world at nearly 150 mph—as well as numerous other family attractions and rides just for kids. Licensed drivers over 21 can even sign up for the “Driving Experience,” a chance to drive the Ferrari California on the streets around Yas Island, where Ferrari World is located. That “ride” alone costs AED 600 (approximately $165) on top of the park entry fee of AED 350 ($95). In May 2015 Ferrari World announced the construction of a new rollercoaster called the “Flying Aces” in honor of World War I flying ace Francesco Baracca, whose logo inspired the Ferrari trademark symbol. It will be the steepest steel rollercoaster in the world.

Before starting telling the history of one of the best brand which makes Italy famous in all the world, we’ll try to answer at the question: “why the iconic “Prancing Horse” became the maximum expression of “Made in Italy”? What make it one of the symbol of italiannes, recognized in every foreign country?

The answer let us know how much the Brand Ferrari is a brand that, since 1929, has been capable to enclose and summarize all the characterizing elements of our luxury products: quality, style, refinement and elegance.

When we thinking about “Ferrari”, indeed, we think immediately to the italian’s style value and peculiarities : in short, is becoming one of the symbol of the italiannes.

That’s not all.

“Ferrari” has been capable to reach , in the ages, the role of the brand that doesn’t have only a part in Italian’s history but also of the sports, economic and social history.

Let’s go now over this Car company’s fundamental principles starting since 1929, when Enzo Ferrari found in Modena, his hometown, the “Scuderia Ferrari” .

Scuderia Ferrari Formula One

THE IMMORTAL HISTORY OF “PRANCING HORSE”, ICON OF ITALIANNESS IN THE WORLD

“Scuderia Ferrari” was founded in Modena in 1929 by Enzo Ferrari, the man who, from that year, is becoming one of the undisputed protagonist of the last century’s  automotive history.

But how started his history? What led Enzo Ferrari to become the founder of a brand that is integral part of the or country’s history?

Engines have always been present in Enzo Ferrari’s life and was probably the destiny that made him assume, at the end of the First World War, to the “CMN” ( National Mechanical Engineering ), a small Milanese automobile factory.

What was Enzo Ferrari’s role? In addition to work in the workshop, the young of the Modena had a very specific role: to conduct driving tests. Thanks ot this role, Enzo Ferrari became an experienced driver, developing a strong passion for engines and automobiles: we are in 1919 and, at only 21 years old, participates, in Sicily, at the most important car race of the time (the “Targa Florio”), winning the ninth position. Starting from that moment the life of young Ferrari is bounded to the racing cars. In 1920 race with Alfa Romeo, again with “Targa Florio” and with a new car presented by scuderia milanese. This time Enzo Ferrari is positioned second, starting to take his first steps in a long journey studded with successes that began in 1923, when he won the first edition of the Grand Prix of the Circuito del Savio, in Ravenna. It’s in this year that born the legendary “Prancing Horse” the icon becoming one of the Italiannes’ icon of the world.

But where does your story originate from, so simple as it is fascinating? We are in 1923, Enzo Ferrari has just won the Grand Prix of the Circuito del Savio when he meets Count Enrico Baracca and his wife, Countess Paolina. The famous  black “Prancing Horse” was painted on the fuselage of Francesco Baracca’s plane, an hero of the Italian’s aviation of the First World War, fallen on Montello during the war. It was the Countess Paolina, mother of the deceased aviator, who entrusted Enzo Ferrari with the symbol that was of the son as a lucky charm for his upcoming car competitions. Since that the “Prancing Horse” is indissolubly bounded to the name of Ferrari. The symbol was redesigned in the 1945 by the young engraver Eligio Gerosa: changes were made to the tail of the horse (that of the Baracca was downwards) and was added as a background the canary yellow, one of the colors of the city of Modena. Two years later, Eligio Gerosa also designed the official logo of the team, making the “Prancing Horse” slimmer and more proportionate than the original. The wish of Countess Paolina was realized: in 1924 Enzo Ferrari won the Acerbo Cup in Pescara. But it’s at this point that the life of the Modenese Ferrari undergoes an event that will change its existence forever.

ENZO FERRARI’S HISTORY: FROM WINNING PILOT TO SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR

After he abbandoned the pilot career for a strong nervous breakdown forced him to come back to Modena, Enzo Ferrari, completely healed, was summoned in Milan with the aim of founding a specialized workshop in mechanical and technical assistance for Alfa Romeo racing cars. It born, so, the Scuderia Ferrari that, in a short tome, become a a known and successful reality, thanks to the participation in numerous car competitions. In 1933, when Alfa Romeo is forced to retreat for an economic crisis, Scuderia Ferrari become the “heir” to its sports image. The Scuderia Ferrari’s success attracted many famous pilots of the time: as Tazio Nuvolari, Achille Varzi, Giuseppe Campari and René Dreyfus. The turning point in the entrepreneurial career of Enzo Ferrari came in 1939, when he founded in his hometown the “Auto Avio Costruzioni” and starts to build his own cars. The transfer to Maranello, in the province of Modena, occurred in 1943 to escape the risk of possible bombing on the main cities of Emilia-Romagna: but the company was not exempt from air strikes and, both in 1944 and in 1945, was hit from attacks by enemy aircraft. In 1947, after the end of the Second World War, Enzo Ferrari founded the homonymous car manufacturer and, in the same year, the first race car was built under the “Prancing Horse” brand: the Sport 125, brought for the first time in race by Franco Cortese. The first road model, the Inter 166, was instead presented in 1949 at the Paris Motor Show. With these first two models of cars, Ferrari begins its history in the race for success.

FIRST FERRARI’S COMPETITIONS AND THE BEGINNING OF AN ALL “MADE ITALY” SUCCESS

The first single-seater Ferrari racing car was the 125 C. which, on September 5, 1948, made its debut at the Italian Grand Prix driven by Raymond Sommer, the French driver who won the third place. The Scuderia Ferrari made its debut in the Formula 1 World Championship in 1950, participating in the Monaco Grand Prix, where it came second thanks to the driver Alberto Ascari who, in the same season, won the first Italian Grand Prix. Ferrari’s first Formula 1 victory took place in 1951 at the Grand Prix of Great Britain with the Argentine car driver José Froilàn Gonzàles: a very important event for the history of the Scuderia, since he triumphed on the Alfa Romeo, the Ferrari “mother” car company. From that moment on, in fact, began the decline of the Alfa Romeo and the rise of Ferrari: an event that strongly marks the life of Enzo. The Milanese carmaker, in fact, retired definitively from car racing to devote himself exclusively to the production of cars for road traffic. The first Formula 1 World Title came in 1952 thanks to the Milanese driver Alberto Ascari and his F2 500.

From that moment the success of the Scuderia Ferrari was unstoppable: with Enzo Ferrari still alive, the car manufacturer won no less than 9 World Championships and 8 constructors World Championships, starting a story that is the pride of Italian history and emblem of Italian excellence.

10 Surprising Facts About Ferrari And Its Cars

Ferrari is one of the most famous brands in the world, but there are still things most people don't know about the Italian carmaker.

The name Ferrari not only evokes an image of luxury, speed, and style, but also stirs emotions, as gearheads recall some of the classic F1 supercar events or remember their first experiences of the brand.

Ferrari has a strong history, that not only inspires with stories of courageous World War 1 pilots and the resilience of entrepreneurs to succeed despite knock backs, but also a history of surprises, where cars we never thought possible are produced and where even popular culture reveals some of Ferrari's great cars .

10 The First Car

In 1938, Enzo Ferrari, a racing car driver, left Alfa Romeo. Despite his departure, Enzo was under the constraints of a stipulation, which meant he could not use the name Ferrari for four years nor could he race. In 1939, he founded  Auto Avio Costruzioni. The next year, Enzo was debuting the Auto Avio Costruzioni 815.

The Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 was powered by a 1.5-liter 8-cylinder engine, delivering 75 horsepower at 5500 rpm. Having aluminum and magnesium alloy panels, the 815 weighed in at 625 kg and was capable of speeds of up to 110 mph.

9 The Prancing Horse

Sometimes, a logo becomes so attached to a brand that it becomes unmistakable and easily recognizable. Ferrari's prancing horse is one such logo! But there is a history behind the prancing horse that gives it even more meaning.

The origins of the Prancing Horse come from the aviation world, where Francesco Baracca, a World War 1 pilot, used it as his personal emblem. Tragically, Francesco died in 1918 when his plane was shot down. Enzo got to know his parents. His mother, Countess Paolina, told Enzo, "Ferrari, put my son's prancing horse on your cars. It will bring you luck." The rest is history!

8 Ford vs. Ferrari (2019)

Matt Damon and Christian Bale took us on a journey back in time with the movie Ford vs Ferrari (2019), starting with that famous 1963 proposal by Lee Iacocca, the vice-President of Ford Motor Company, to purchase Ferrari. Enzo refuses to sell. This rejection sees Henry Ford II turn his attention to the race track to building the Ford GT 40.

Lee Iacocca, played by Jon Bernthal, who also played in The Walking Dead , relates back to Ford what Enzo said, "He said Ford makes ugly little cars, and we make 'em... in an ugly factory!" Yes, it's a movie! But it was a reflection of a history of not only the rivalry between car brands but between the personalities behind those brands.

7 Love me tender

Elvis Presley's car collection was impressive! That pink 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood, not to forget the other 100-plus Cadillacs he owned. But it may come as a surprise that the man who sang 'nothing but a hound dog', 'blue suede shoes' and 'all shook up' also owned a Ferrari. Yes, a Ferrari Dino 308 GT4!

The Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 was the first production Ferrari featuring a V8 engine. First marketed with only the Dino name, it was soon flaunting a Ferrari badge. Marcello Gandini, a legendary car designer,  known for his design of the Lamborghini Countach, also penned the design of the Dino 308 GT4, along with Piero Ferrari, one of the sons of Enzo Ferrari.

6 How much?

It was considered the Holy Grail. The Ferrari 250 GTO broke records at an auction when one sold for a mouthwatering US$70 million. When it first came out, each buyer had to be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. Production was highly limited, with only 36 cars made!

The Ferrari 250 GTO was powered by a Testarossa V12 engine delivering 300 horsepower. It could reach top speeds of 174 mph (280 km/h). The design was so prized that an Italian court ruled the 250 GTO as a 'work of art', meaning that reproductions were not allowed.

5 The Red Ferrari

"Ask a child to draw a car, certainly he will do it red," Enzo Ferrari reportedly said. The Rosso Corsa, or translated as "racing red", is the color not only associated with Ferrari but also with Maserati and Alfa Romeo. But the red Ferrari is often associated with the brand.

Rosso Corsa may have been the only color option for models such as the 288 GTO and the F40, but Ferrari offers not only other shades of red, such as the Rosso Scuderia, named after the Ferrari Formula 1 team, but also other color options.

4 The Scent of a Woman (1992)

The Scent of a Woman (1992) was a film about Frank, a visually impaired army lieutenant colonel, played by Al Pacino, and Charlie Simms, a prep school student, played by Chris O'Donnell. The lieutenant may not be easy to get along with, but Chris soon learns more than he expected from Lt. Col. Frank Slade.

One scene may stand out for gearheads, where Frank and Charlie test drive a 1989 Ferrari Mondial t Cabriolet. This particular Mondial can reach speeds of up to 158 mph (255 km/h). The 't' in its name refers to the 'transverse' mounted engine. It was powered by a 3.2 liter V8. The t Cabriolet can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in a brisk 6.3 seconds!

3 Let's talk about Lambo

Ferruccio Lamborghini, once a successful and wealthy mechanic and businessman in the tractor industry, owned a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT, which was the cause of an argument that would see Ferrucio start his own company.

Ferruccio set up a meeting with Enzo, which didn't work out the way he wanted, with Enzo retorting, "the clutch is not the problem!" Enzo then snapped at Ferruccio telling him to keep working with tractors. Ferruccio's response would be the Lamborghini 350 GT. And as we know, the rivalry between these brands has never stopped!

2 A Racing Legend

The name Michael Schumacher and Formula One racing are synonymous . The 412 T2 was Schumacher's first car after joining Scuderia Ferrari. He famously asserted that the 412 T2 was "good enough to win a world championship." And it delivered!

Of course, let's not forget the 1997 Ferrari F310B, the evolution of the Ferrari F310, powered by a V10 engine, with 725 horsepower driven by Schumacher and the legendary Eddie Irvine.

1 Ferrari's First Hybrid

Meet the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. Ferrari's first plug-in hybrid. Reaching 62 mph at a blistering 2.5 seconds. Reaching speeds of up to 211 mph. It has a 4-liter V8 turbo engine, producing 799 horsepower as well as a 7.9-kWh lithium-ion battery.

The remarkable feature about the Ferrari SF90 Stradale is that you can drive solely on electric mode for 15.5 miles (25 km). But it must be said that Ferrari has built their future on a past, which has not only been inspiring and sometimes unexpected but has been driven by a brand much loved by gearheads worldwide.

Why is Ferrari Considered a Dream Car?

This article is sponsored by Doctor Classic.

Ferrari is one of those brands that need no introduction, you hear the name, and you automatically picture that iconic red car with the famous prancing horse logo on the bonnet. Having a Ferrari is a dream of many, even though it’s neither the fastest nor the most powerful sports car out there. So what exactly is hiding behind all that glory and fame that make clients jump at the very chance of spending a fortune to get their hands on one of these cars?

A legendary brand

History of Ferrari as a car manufacturing company officially started in 1947, yet its racing history dates back to 1929 and the first appearance of the Scuderia Ferrari racing team founded by Enzo Ferrari. Right from the very beginning, the goal of the company was to create a car that will be not only fast but also exclusive. This exclusivity manifests itself even today. The actual number of cars produced is very limited. This means that every time someone gets to place one of them in their collection, it feels very special.

But road cars, even though popular and luxurious, are not the only reason why the Ferrari brand is so well known all over the world. Most of that fame can be traced to one particular source – racing. It all started with the first Mille Miglia win in 1948, quickly followed by the victory at Le Mans just a year later. But the real glory started with Alberto Ascari securing Ferrari’s first-ever Formula 1 World Championship title in 1952. From that moment forward, Ferrari became a powerhouse in the world of racing.

Classic models

Even though new models are selling long before they are even ready to get on the road, it doesn’t mean that old classics are being forgotten. Far from it, Ferrari restoration is more popular than ever before, and it’s difficult to find a classic car collector who wouldn’t want at least one of those in their garage. There’s just something about Ferrari’s cars and their sleek look that makes them utterly timeless. Of course, the more sought after model you choose, the more you’ll have to pay for it, but collectors are willing to pay high prices for the beloved classics like a 365 GTB/4 or a Ferrari Dino 246. When choosing the model to buy, you have to keep in mind that it’s not only an occasion to make your dreams come true, it’s also a great investment. After all, with each passing year, the value of such cars is increasing.

Going green

Ferrari isn’t settling for basking in the glory from the past . It’s constantly developing and creating new incredible projects. One of the latest developments is deciding to go green. In recent years many car manufacturers decided to take this route as well. After all, our society is growing more concerned about the harmful impact the car industry has on the environment, and going electric is one of the answers to this problem. But the answer from the Maranello stable came in typical Ferrari manner, by breaking the stereotypes surrounding electric cars which by many are perceived as slow and boring. The upcoming Ferrari SF90 Stradale is said to be the fastest road model ever produced by the company. And this makes the future very exciting for the fans of the Prancing Horse.

Whether you’re interested in racing, car restoration, or the newest solutions used in hypercars, Ferrari can offer something to everyone. These cars are not only incredible to drive, even just admiring them from afar can be very satisfying because you can see the passion behind every little detail.

Ferrari – The Wonder Car Essay Example

Ferraris are a passion-much more than just an automobile. For more than half a century, the cars with the yellow and black Cavallino emblem have adorned the world of automobiles with their aura of ultimate speed and automotive sensuality. For years and more, they have been likened to the curvaceous female bodies and the muscular strength of the men. Ferraris have been the benchmark for all sports cars when it comes to decision about the best for the past 50 years and undoubtedly will continue striving as one. Ferraris pose as the most difficult to understand sports cars when it comes to machination and design.

Nonetheless, the evolution of the Ferrari from the nibble to the perfection is worth pondering on. The Design- All racing fans must be familiar with the famous

Ferrari "prancing horse" symbol. The famous symbol of Ferrari is a black prancing horse on yellow background, usually with the letters S F for Scuderia Ferrari. The horse was originally the symbol of Count Francesco Baracca, a legendary "asso" (ace) of the Italian air force during World War I, who painted it on the side of his planes. Baracca died very young on June 19, 1918, shot down after 34 victorious duels and many team victories.

The first Ferrari road car was the 1947 125 S, powered by a 1. 5 L V12 engine. Ferrari road cars, noted for styling by design houses like Pininfarina, have long been one of the ultimate accessories for the wealthy. Other design houses that have worked to further glorify and beautify the Ferrari over the years include Scaglietti, Bertone, Touring, Ghia, and Vignale.

Until the early 1980s, Ferrari followed a three-number naming system based on engine displacement, that is, the total volume of air/fuel mixture an engine can draw in during one complete engine cycle.

This naming system can be confusing, as some entirely different vehicles used the same engine type and body style. Many Ferraris also had other names affixed (like Daytona) to identify them further. Many such names are actually not the official factory names. The Daytona name commemorates Ferrari's triple success in the February 1967 24 Hours of Daytona with the 330P4. Only in the 1973 Daytona 24h, a 365 GTB4 model run by N. A. R. T. (North American Racing Team, who raced Ferrari's in America) scored 2nd—behind a Porsche 911.

Ferrari is passion on wheels, and that passion comes alive in the articles we’ve created. Every significant Ferrari car is profiled, more than 100 models in all, from the very first machines to wear the prancing horse in 1947 to today’s thrilling lineup of V-8 and V-12 coupes and convertibles. The journey proceeds along the three paths that make up the Ferrari cars legend: the road cars, the sports-racing cars, and the F1 cars. Clothed in graceful bodywork by Enzo Ferrari’s friend, Battista “Pinin” Farina, the early road cars were only slightly tamed versions of his racing cars.

Indeed, the very first Ferrari road car, the 166 MM, took part of its name from the Mille Miglia, the famed 1,000-mile Italian road race won by a Ferrari in 1948. The theme continued through such wondrous stallions as the Ferrari 340 America and 375 MM of the early 1950s. These cars

could be driven to the track, compete for the checkered flag, and carry their driver to dinner that night. This was the romance of the dual-purpose sports car, an ideal that culminated with the Ferrari 250 GT SWB coupe of 1959. Ferrari 375 MM racecar The Ferrari 375 MM racer of the 1950s wasn't a world apart from Ferrari road cars.

After that, the all-out performance demanded by competition and the veneer of civility required by Ferrari’s wealthy non-racing customers sent his road cars along their own route. Certainly, each succeeding decade had its share of ferocious and charming road going Ferraris -- the 365 GTB/4 Daytona in the 1960s followed by the midengine 512 BBi in the ‘70s, F40 in the ‘80s, F50 in the ‘90s, and Enzo in the new millennium. But each period also had its gorgeous grand touring models as well, including the 250 GT Coupe, 330 GTC, and today’s 612 Scaglietti, all of which followed Ferrari’s classic front-engine V-12 format.

It’s believed of the Ferrari faith that Enzo sold road cars mainly to finance his first love, racing. And in the first half of the company’s sixty-year existence, the term mostly meant endurance racing. Ferrari’s sports-racing cars were generally recognizable as wilder versions of models customers could buy and they competed in the big glamour events, like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Targa Florio. Such Ferraris as the pontoon-fender 250 Testa Rossa and the voluptuous 330 P4 battled Jaguar and later, Ford, for supremacy in this particular crucible of 200-mph machine and high-risk automotive marketing came into light.

By the mid 1970s, Formula 1

had taken over as the aristocrat and benchmark of motor racing, and Ferrari refocused its efforts on this form of open-wheel, single-seat competition. Immortals and geniuses like Alberto Ascari and Juan Manuel Fangio had driven Ferrari Grand Prix cars in the 1950s. And the distinctive shark-nose Dino 156 F1 made Phil Hill the first American F1 world champion in 1961. How is it different? The Ferrari is one of the most-priced eye-candies present in the automobile world. The features which differentiate the Ferrari models from other cars are innumerable- the price being the most prominent one.

On the track, the lack of a clutch pedal is a boon because one can use his left foot to brake, thus saving time. In town, it's also handy because the left foot never gets tired from having to pump the clutch. The automatic mode is a bit clunky but works sufficiently well when you're not in the mood to move your digits. Via the steering-wheel-mounted manettino, five different CST ("control, stability and traction") modes — ice, low grip, sport, race, and CST off — affect shift speed, throttle response, adaptive damping, differential settings, and levels of traction and stability control.

"CST off" disables the stability control, whereas race and sport have progressively higher levels of intervention. Race and "CST off" are more firmly damped than sport and shift faster. The manettino tweaks the electronic diff setting, too. But the Ferrari isn't just an engine and transmission looking for a car, which could be said about Ferraris of yore. Like the Porsche, control weights and feel are superb: The steering is a touch light but compensates with

its accuracy and feedback, and the brake pedal is solid and linear, allowing you to modulate the powerful ceramic-composite brakes with precision.

One expects such a racy, hard-edged car to ride like a Roman chariot, but the Ferrari is supple on the highway in sport mode, and it tracks down the road with unerring accuracy. The car has the most entertaining and predictable chassis of the three, with mild under steer on turn-in, a neutral demeanor mid-turn as you apply the power, and power over steer on corner exits. But thanks to a more predictable throttle and more accurate, lively steering, the over steer is progressive and easily controlled. With its beautifully balanced chassis, instant shifts, rapid soundtrack, and stunning brakes, the Ferrari is a winner.

The Engine:- We always imagine Ferrari engines being bestowed by some manner of benevolent archangel with a fiendish streak and an ear for charm. Of course, they are -- in spirit. But there's a more mundane manufacturing process behind the Ferrari V12, one that starts with molten alloy and involves lots of polishing, testing, careful assembling and symphonic music. Well the engine has changed a lot from the 6 valves ones to the 8 and to the 12 and then to the 10 valves one. A few pictures of the engines are displayed. The Improvement-

The innovative FXX programme, based on the eponymous prototype car and launched by Ferrari in June 2005, is being extended to 2008/2009. The FXX, which is the most advanced GT ever created at Maranello, has been updated with an evolution package aimed at further improving its handling and performance. The package

was developed as a result of Ferrari’s collaboration with its Client Test Drivers and with the invaluable support of Michael Schumacher. The FXXs equipped with this package will also sport a new livery in addition to new rear wing profiles. The FXX is not homologated for road use and there are no plans to compete with it either.

In fact, the FXX prototype is designed exclusively for track driving as part of a specific R&D programme agreed with a selected group of just over 20 clients involving 14 group test sessions and 14 private ones in the last two years. Thanks to readings taken over the 16,500 kilometers of tests carried out in 2006 and the 18,500 kilometers covered in 2007, the modifications made to the car have focused on honing its aerodynamics, running gear and electronics. Seven-times Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher also joined the ranks of the client test drivers and gave the programme the benefit of his vast experience on several occasions.

Naoto Fukasawa is famous for his product design skills. He was born in 1956 in Yamanashi. Naoto Fukasawa was an in-house designer engaging in microelectronic devices and watches.

It is a good exercise of imaginative thinking for changing perceptions and concepts.

However, according to Fukawasa’s electronic design, the Japanese design means observing objectively. It also means being animalistic, aware of the living nature, and a pure element in the larger environment. Each design is unique, and a design never connects to dryness or emptiness due to the hidden meaning of design ideas sculptured with refined design forms and economic.

Ferrari facts for kids

Ferrari is an Italian car company that makes fast cars. They are made in Italy and are very expensive. They usually cost $150,000 - $1,500,000.

Ferrari has a rich racing history and is a well known premium car brand. The fastest street Ferrari is the F50 GT1, which can go over 370 kph (about 222 mph). The most powerful Ferrari is the FXX, which has about 800 horsepower . The FXX is a lighter, improved version of the F60 Enzo; it is Ferrari's most exclusive model, which you have to be chosen to own. It is basically a race car that you can buy from Ferrari. The car is so extreme (completely flat tires, low ride height, and no roadcar safety features such as Airbags ) that it cannot be driven on roads legally. Ferrari will keep it for you at their Factory in Maranello in Italy. You can go to Italy and drive it on their private race track , or have it transported to another race track around the world, the same as if you were driving for a racing team. Thirty have been built and all but two were sold to customers for $2,500,000 each. Ferrari gave one to seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacer, who had driven for Ferrari for ten years when he retired in 2006, having brought Ferrari much success. Ferrari made his FXX different by painting it black . The other twenty-nine are either red or white , with stripes painted in the other colour. A Ferrari is one of the richest selling cars in the world.

Ferrari: powering the myth.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

A Ferrari flag flies

Once, at a conference in Italy where I was speaking, I fell into conversation with the conference organizer. He told me that executives at Ferrari, where his firm did business, told him, "We sell myth." The myth is that if you buy a Ferrari, which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, you will be one with an iconic brand that embodies the highest standards of quality, luxury and performance.

The mythical image is reflected in the persona of its founder, Enzo Ferrari , who built the automaker in the wreckage of World War II Italy. Ferrari had been a race car driver for Alpha Romeo in the Thirties. After the War, he turned his attention to building race cars.

Screen Story

His effort was not without struggle, as depicted in a new film bearing his name, Ferrari . The film focuses on the pivotal year 1957, when his firm was facing bankruptcy and lacked the capital to build more production vehicles. Ferrari's heart was racing, and so that is where he put his energies.

A key sequence in the film focuses on Ferrari’s drivers competing in the Mille Miglia , a thousand-mile open-course race from Brescia to Rome. The course winds through towns and cities and open countryside where road conditions—and even farm animals wandering on them—could be obstacles to cars racing upwards of 100 miles an hour. It is a race, his finance people tell Ferrari, that his cars must win if he is going to attract the funds he needs to continue running his firm.

Shape the Message Individually

Ferrari enters five cars in the race. As dramatized in the film, we see Ferrari giving directions to each driver or pair of drivers. For example, he teases one of his drivers that he will never be able to face his wife or children again if he does not win – after coming so close previous in previous races. To another driver, he cautions him to watch out for sheep crossing the road. And then to a new member of his team, Ferrari advises him to follow his teammates until he gets to Bologna. Once there, the road will be familiar, and he can put a pedal to the metal.

Ferrari needs them to work as a team but also knows he must give each one specific direction. That is a key message every manager can learn. Tailor your message to individuals as individuals. That way, you connect with them personally, and they can respond appropriately. Knowing what motivates each team member is essential. Great sports coaches know this.

Speak to the brain, yes, but also touch the heart.

Speak from the Heart

It is also necessary, as we see in this film when it is essential to speak to the team as one unit. We see Ferrari (played by Adam Driver) doing this at several team dinners. In one pivotal scene, he speaks to them about his racing philosophy. As a champion driver, Ferrari knows what committing to the relentless pursuit of a goal means. He cites the example of legendary drivers Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss as competitors who put everything they had into winning. One sense that Ferrari realizes is that his current crop of drivers – while experienced and successful – are not the best in the world.

“Enzo Ferrari created an iconic brand whose aura and fame reaches beyond fans of powerful sports cars. He built the longest serving Formula 1 team which has raced in the championship since 1950. It is the team that every Formula 1 driver wants to drive for” says consultant-keynote speaker, Ken Pasternak, co-author of Performance at the Limit, Business Lessons from Formula 1 Motor Racing .

On a personal note, I spent part of the summer of 1976 as an assistant cameraman at various Formula One races and saw up close how ferociously the Ferrari team—led by champion driver Nikki Lauda—competed. Lauda suffered a fiery crash at Nürburgring that nearly killed him, but he recovered and returned to Formula One competition.

Ferrari, called the Commendatore (an honorific meaning knight of the crown) by his staff, was not without his flaws. (His personal life was something of a mess.) He did, however, know how to build the best race cars in the world and assemble a team of drivers who would pilot these cars to victories, victories that would shape Ferrari myth on the road and in the hearts of race enthusiasts worldwide.

Essay Week 3: Ford V Ferrari

Since this is a racing biopic that combines business with plot, a lot of effort was naturally put into the script. First, an introduction to the awards season. “Ford vs. Ferrari” is based on the true story of the legendary rivalry between two of the world’s most beloved car brands, Ford and Ferrari. Most notable rivalries in history have stemmed from the struggle for power or the preservation of damaged faces. The rivalry between Ford and Ferrari is one of them. This makes the film very unique. These two legendary companies, instead of competing in the most direct way, did not compete purely commercially, but focused on racing cars. This makes the theme of the story very novel and compelling. Of course, compared to other movies, the racing theme is probably too ordinary, like the Fast and the Furious was also a movie about racing, but this documentary is unique. The climax of the film was, of course, the car race. Every car and every team is built with money. As for racing, I think most people like me love cars and enjoy the effect of the car element on their brains. But in fact, that’s not the true understanding of racing. I’m just a layman. Racing requires not only the physics of the engineer, but also the technical understanding of the driver. Under the high-speed control of such equipment, a careless accident is unpredictable, which not only tests the driver’s psychological quality, but also the ultimate test of the driver’s physical quality, which is very difficult for a layman like me, it is very difficult to estimate. So when I watch the car racing part of the movie, my attention has to switch back and forth between the tachometer and the psychology of the character, and when the movie takes the audience into the process of the movie, the movie is successful. The scene of the game gave me a very special feeling of the combination of static and static. Some things don’t change in a high-speed car, sometimes the lights, sometimes the car shell, sometimes the rain. All in all, this experience is very special for me. The film is more traditional, it’s a commercial biopic, and it’s as much about what it wants to see as it can, because the film exists to help the audience understand what happened between Ford and Ferrari in 1960. The result was clear: Ford worked around the clock to beat Ferrari at all costs. There are conflicts, doubts and disappointments between the characters, but in the end, when Ford takes the podium, it doesn’t seem to matter that much. Because the film is an ordinary biopic, he doesn’t have too many critical elements. Perhaps the most important thing he wanted to say was don’t annoy your competitors. In fact, Ferrari has already made two formidable rivals, Lamborghini and Ford. At the same time, biographical subjects delve deeply into the personalities of their characters and have lofty ambitions. The trailer opens with a belligerent greeting from Shelby and Myers. One second fist fights, and the next two are lying on the grass drinking Coke and cheering. This leads the audience curious which is a good technique.
