The Ferrari Heritage: Motorsport & Supercar DNA

Founded by Enzo Ferrari in Maranello, Italy, Ferrari was born from a single passion: motorsport. Enzo famously built and sold road cars for one reason—to fund his Scuderia Ferrari race team.

Key Historical Milestones

• 1929–1947 — The Racing Origins: Enzo founded Scuderia Ferrari as Alfa Romeo’s racing division. After splitting off, he launched the 125 S in 1947—the first official Ferrari-badged car, powered by a high-revving V12.
• 1960s — Racing Royalty: The legendary 250 GTO dominated GT racing, cementing Ferrari’s status as a global icon while sparking the historic Ford vs. Ferrari Le Mans rivalry.
• 1980s–2000s — The Halo Supercars: Ferrari redefined performance with mid-engine icons like the F40 (the last car approved by Enzo), the F50 with an adapted F1 engine, and the Enzo featuring carbon-ceramic tech.
• 2010s–Present — The Hybrid Era: Maranello embraced electrification with the 950-hp LaFerrari and the all-wheel-drive SF90 Stradale, proving hybrid tech can elevate V8 and V12 performance.

The Essence: Built on unmatched Formula 1 pedigree, Ferrari limits production to maintain strict exclusivity, turning every car with the Cavallino Rampante (Prancing Horse) badge into a collector’s masterpiece.
