Ferrari

Based in Italy, Ferrari is known for producing exotic sports cars with unparalleled style and speed. Founded by racing and car enthusiasts Enzo Ferrari, the company makes the most extravagant automobiles for the wealthiest consumers. Featuring impressive engines and sleek style, Ferrari’s are the highlight of every car collection.

Ferrari began his career as a carmaker’s apprentice. Soon after he began racing and discovered he was not only passionate about the sport, but good as well. He realized that he wanted to make a car that could suit his racing needs and decided to team up with Alfa Romeo, a respected car manufacturer, and eventually founded his own company.

The first car the company produced was the Tipo 166, which included a 2.0-liter V12 engine. Though the Tipo 166 had a very powerful engine for that time, Ferrari realized that the design was not up to par with other luxury car manufacturers of that time and eventually joined forces with Pininfarina, a famous Italian design house, in the early 1950’s.

As a result, Ferrari began producing cars that were powerful, but incredibly stylish as well. Nowadays, Ferrari’s are difficult to come by and are rarely seen on the streets. Often protected in the garages of those fortunate enough to own one, Ferrari’s are a true symbol of wealth and power.
