Ferrari is not just a car, it is a symbol of speed, luxury and passion. The history of the brand began in 1947, when Enzo Ferrari founded the company Scuderia Ferrari, but his love for motorsports began much earlier.
Origins: racing and first steps
Enzo Ferrari started out as a racer in the 1920s, but after leaving Alfa Romeo in 1939, he decided to create his own cars. The first model, the Ferrari 125 S debuted in 1947 with a 12-cylinder engine, laying the foundation for the legendary V12 Ferraris.
The Golden Era of Racing
The 1950s and 1960s saw Ferrari triumph in Formula 1 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Models such as the 250 GTO (1962) have become motorsport icons and today cost tens of millions of dollars.
Road supercars: from Dino to LaFerrari
In 1968, the Ferrari Dino appeared – the first “affordable” Ferrari with a V6. In the 1980s, the Ferrari Testarossa debuted – a symbol of the era. And in the 21st century, the hybrid LaFerrari (2013) showed that the future of the brand lies in innovation.
Ferrari today: luxury and technology
Modern models such as the SF90 Stradale (the first production hybrid) and the Purosangue (the first Ferrari SUV) prove that the brand continues to surprise.
