Ferrari S.p.A. is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, Italy. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1928 as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving into production of street-legal vehicles in 1947 as Ferrari S.p.A.. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has enjoyed great success.
After years of financial struggles, Enzo Ferrari sold the company's sports car division to the Fiat group in 1969 to ensure continued financial backing. Enzo Ferrari retained control of the racing division until his death in 1988 at the age of 90. Earlier that year he had overseen the launch of the Ferrari F40; the last new Ferrari to be launched before his death, and arguably one of the most famous supercars ever made.
Ferrari also has an internally managed merchandising line that licenses many products bearing the Ferrari brand, including eyewear, pens, pencils, electronic goods, perfume, clothing, high-tech bicycles, watches, cell phones, and even laptop computers.
In 2007 the Financial Times put Ferrari at the top of its list of 100 Best Workplaces in Europe.
We've seen some pretty impressive gaming rigs over the years, but raises the bar to a new level - it's a Ferrari F1 car wired up for video gaming...
In essence, the replacement for the FXX. It's only for track use, based off of the 599 GTB Fiorano, and will be offered exclusively to selected individuals.
Ferrari is officially losing the plot. Check out these first pictures of the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M. Yep that's right, the marketing men at Maranello thought it would be a great cash generator idea to build a convertible version of the 430 Scuderia track weapon.
Electric vehicles were compared to such vehicles as Toyota’s Prius, Honda’s hybrid Insight, Toyota’s Camry and Ferrari’s F430. The hybrid vehicles were the clear winners in the comparison: on a 100-mile journey the Prius emits 35.3 pounds of carbon dioxide while the Insight emits 34.6 pounds.
In theory, that means that, at least on Sunday, Vettel's car was something like 0.6secs faster than a Ferrari.
