BRAND HISTORY
Many fans are captivated by the "Cavallino Rampante," known in Japan as the "Prancing Horse." FERRARI is a marque that ignites passion with its fierce performance on the track and enchants with its elegant silhouette and piercing sound on the street. Whether in F1 or in its road cars, this brand, which pursues the pinnacle of speed, still carries the strong passion of its founder, Enzo Ferrari.

Born in Modena, Italy, in 1898, Enzo was inspired by a race he witnessed in Bologna at the age of ten, eventually aspiring to become a racing driver himself. His unwavering ambition steadily moved towards realization, and in 1920, Enzo became a test driver for Alfa Romeo. In the same year, he competed as an Alfa driver in the Targa Florio, achieving an impressive second-place finish.

However, Enzo's interest eventually shifted towards managing a racing team, leading him to establish Scuderia Ferrari in 1929 and take on Alfa's racing activities. Despite his prowess, his relationship with Alfa ended in 1939. After World War II, in 1947, he resumed racing activities with his own "Ferrari 125," powered by his own V12 engine. This marked the beginning of Ferrari's journey as a sports car brand.

Subsequently, Ferrari became part of the Fiat group. Currently, under the leadership of President Luca Montezemolo, who also serves as chairman of the Fiat Group, the brand continues to enhance its allure. The lineup consists of five models: the V12-powered "599" and "612 Scaglietti," the mid-engined V8 sports cars "F430" and "F430 Spider," and the ultra-sporty "430 Scuderia."
