Ferrari S.p.A. is a multinational Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, Italy. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929, as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving into production of street-legal vehicles as Ferrari S.p.A. in 1947. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has had great success. Ferrari road cars are generally seen as a symbol of luxury and wealth.
Several early cars featured bodywork customised by a number of coachbuilders such as Pininfarina, Zagato and Bertone.
The Dino was the first mid-engined Ferrari. This layout would go on to be used in most Ferraris of the 1980s and 1990s. V8 Ferrari models make up well over half of the marque's total production.
The company has also produced front-engined 2+2 cars, culminating in the current 612 Scaglietti and California.
Ferrari entered the mid-engined 12-cylinder fray with the Berlinetta Boxer in 1973. The later Testarossa remains one of the most famous Ferraris.
A RARE 1958 Ferrari has become one of the world's most expensive supercars after it sold at auction for a whopping £5.2million.
The midnight-blue convertible 250 GT LWB California Spider model - one of only 50 ever made - was the subject of a bidding war which saw it soar past its £4.2m estimate.
It was sold by auctioneers Gooding and Company at the meeting in Scottsdale, Arizona, after passing through the hands of just three owners in the past four decades.
It was lovingly restored in 2012, going on to scoop a Platinum trophy and a set of almost perfect scores when it was shown off at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and the American Ferrari Club Meet.
The auction also saw a cream 1957 Maserati 150 GT Spider prototype go up for sale, eventually being snapped up for just under £2m
In June last year, a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO made for race driver Stirling Moss was sold to US car collector Craig McCaw for a reported £22m. 2013 name brand image prestige elite luxury company build f1 race racing cars consumer supercar supercars sports drive driving ferrari "ferrari 458" spyder competition model customer f430 speed innovation geneva auto show "ferrari ff" performance new change money cash sales business engine car review factory tour monaco classic italian italy europe crazy episode tv television entertainment statement lamborghini bentley maserati aston martin audi range rover ariel atom tvfirst123
The Ferrari 458 Italia is a mid-engined sports car produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari. The 458 Italia replaces the Ferrari F430. The 458 Italia was officially unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show on 15 September 2009
Ferrari unveiled the 458 Spider at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. This convertible variant of the 458 Italia features an aluminium retractable hardtop which, according to Ferrari, weighs 25 kilograms (55 lb) less than a soft roof such as the one found on the Ferrari F430 Spider, and can be retracted in 14 seconds.[15][16] The engine cover has been redesigned to cope with the retractable roof system. Ferrari plans to make 1,500-2,000 458 Spiders every year. It has the same 0-62 time as the hard-top but it will only do 198 mph
The Ferrari F430 is a sports car that was produced by the Italian automaker Ferrari from 2004 to 2009, as a successor to the 360. It debuted at the 2004 Paris Motor Show.[2] Its replacement, the Ferrari 458 Italia, was unveiled on 28 July 2009
