History of Ferrari
The name Ferrari is synonymous with power, performance, and speed. When many think of their "dream car" it's a sleek, rumbling Ferrari going 180 miles per hour down the highway. Since it's humble beginnings in 1947, the Ferrari stable has always been stocked with some magnificent machines.

Enzo Ferrari was born on February 18, 1898 near Modena, Italy. He saw his first motor race at the age of 10, and could drive by the time he was 13. Connected for many years with Alfa Romeo, Ferrari himself built a only a few sports cars bearing his own name and his famous prancing horse badge.

  • Updated Ferrari 430 News

    Ferrari is to replace its 'entry-level' 360 Modena with this: the 430 Monza. Ferrari is said to have registered the numbers '430' as a trademark, indicating that the company's 4.2-litre V8 engine could be enlarged for this new model to 4.3 litres; an output of 450bhp is estimated. This engine will remain mid-mounted.

    Its front and rear-end Pininfarina-penned styling, with vertically-stacked headlights and redesigned air intakes, is heavily influenced by that of the Enzo Ferrari: more angular, and more aggressive in its stance. Like the Enzo, the 430 could feature an adjustable rear spoiler. It is expected to be formally unveiled early next year, possibly at the Detroit Motor Show in January, with sales following in summer 2005. A convertible version and a lightweight, stripped-out Challenge Stradale model are predicted to follow in 2006.
