BRAND HISTORY
Many fans are captivated by the emblem known as "Cavallino Rampante," or the "prancing horse" in Japan. FERRARI is a car that excites crowds with its fierce performance on the circuit and captivates people with its elegant silhouette and piercing sound on the street. This brand, which pursues the pinnacle of speed in both F1 and road cars, still carries the strong passion of its founder, Enzo Ferrari.

Born in Modena, Italy, in 1898, Enzo was inspired by a race he saw in Bologna at the age of 10, and from then on, he aspired to become a racing driver. 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.

However, Enzo's interest eventually shifted to managing a racing team, and in 1929, he founded Scuderia Ferrari, taking on Alfa's racing activities. Despite his success, his relationship with Alfa ended in 1939. After World War II, in 1947, he resumed racing activities with the "Ferrari 125," equipped with his own V12 engine. This marked the beginning of Ferrari as a sports car brand.

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