What is the background of the make / model?
Ferrari produced this model between 1995 and 2000.
Ferrari is one of the world’s most admired luxury sports car manufacturers. The company officially launched in 1947.
However, the automaker’s legendary founder and namesake Enzo Ferrari was involved in the industry long before then.
Born in Modena, Italy in 1898, Enzo Ferrari started out as a race car driver. In the 1920s, he was made a driver with Alfa Romeo.
In 1929, Ferrari founded Scuderia Ferrari, now the official race car division for Ferrari. It began, however, as a division of Alfa that specialised in preparing race cars to gentlemen drivers.
In 1939, Enzo left his position as Head of Alfa Corse to form his own car company Auto Avio Costruzioni in his hometown of Modena, Italy with an agreement not to use the Ferrari name for at least 4 years.
Honouring his word, the company name was changed to Auto Costruzioni Ferrari in 1957. The first car to bare the name Ferrari was released the Ferrari 125 S in 1947 and they’ve been doing so ever since.
