The Ferrari Automobile Company is a manufacturing company based in
Maranello, Italy. The company was founded in 1929 by Enzo Ferrari, and
was originally known as Scuderia Ferrari. Scuderia Ferrari first
manufactured race cars, but eventually began producing street-legal cars
starting in 1947. Ferrari S.p.A. is currently one of the most
successful sports car manufacturers in the world.
The first road car by Ferrari was the 125 Sport. Throughout the 1950s, Enzo Ferrari's fast cars developed a reputation for excellence. Enzo Ferrari felt that many of his customers bought his vehicles for prestige instead of performance, causing him to develop quite a distaste for Ferrari customers.
As of 2008, Fiat Group owns an 85% stake in the Ferrari Company. The remainder is owned by the Mubadala Development Company and Piero Ferrari, second son of founder Enzo Ferrari. The 2011 Ferrari models include the FF, Ferrari 599 GTB, 599 GTO, 458 Italia, and Ferrari California. The FF is the fastest four-seater vehicle in the world. The Ferrari 599 GTB is the highest performing 12-cylinder berlinetta ever produced by Ferrari. The Ferrari 458 Italia is the latest version of the mid-rear engined berlinetta, and the Ferrari California is a convertible with a retractable hard-top. A new Ferrari will usually have a six-figure price tag.
Ferrari also currently offers the special series model SA Aperta. Only 80 models of this type will be built in celebration of the 80th anniversary of Pininfarina, an Italian car design firm in Cambiano, Italy that has been employed by the Ferrari Company for the design of many of their more notable vehicles.
