Speaking about the Ferrari, we usually mean
something more than just a luxury car. For many of us, this brand - the
legend created by one brave man. For more than fifty years of
Ferrari cars left far behind all its competitors. Created by Italian
Enzo Ferrari back in the 40s, they still command respect and
admiration.
It started it all with the dream of a little boy whose father more
than once took with him on insurence. That's when Enzo and decided to
link their lives with motorsports. At the age of twenty
years immediately after the First World War, he is hired to work at
CMN motor companies as a test rider. After working there for two years,
he quits and goes into the then small and little-known
company Alfa-Romeo, race cars which are considered quite promising
and interesting.
In the postwar years, Italian automotive industry has developed very rapidly. And Enzo Ferrari it was a great chance to realize his dream - to create their own racing team. So, in 1929, Scuderia Ferrari appears in Modena, in the creation of which the young Italian helped his friends and partners - Alfa-Romeo, with whom he continued his cooperation.

Scuderia in Italian means "stable", the young Ferrari logo was
chosen appropriate - rampant horse on a yellow background.
Interestingly, the history of the emergence of this emblem is quite
simple. At the time, a rearing horse decorated fighter Francesco
Barakki, ace of the First World War, who died heroically at Montello. In
1923, during one of his speeches on the track Enzo met
with the parents of the pilot - Count Enrico Baracca, and his wife.
They offered to the young man to portray the horse reared on his race
car. "He will bring good luck," - then added the
countess. And I was not mistaken. Enzo Ferrari for all subsequent
years kept a photograph of a young pilot, he passed Barraca family.
Entrusted to him the emblem he left unchanged, adding only
gold background - color Madeny city.
Over 30s Scuderia Ferrari Alfa-Romeo performed a representative, but
soon decided to establish their own independent and production cars.
The outbreak of World War II stopped Enzo Ferrari plans,
and the company was forced to work on military contracts. But
immediately after the completion of the Italian war again started the
implementation of their plans.
So, in 1946 the world saw the first car created by him - Ferrari 125 other than the 12-cylinder engine made of aluminum and is a combination of road and racing performance in one machine. A year later, comes an improved modification of the Ferrari engine, as well as created the company Auto Avia Construzione Ferrari, whose purpose - the production and sale of sports cars.

Machines produced by Enzo Ferrari, are winning victory after victory
on a variety of races. The brand is becoming more successful, and sales
of cars continues to grow. In the mid-50s is beginning
to gain popularity is racing like Formula 1. In 1952 and 1953 the
famous driver Alberto Ascari on the sports car Scuderia Ferrari wins in
this competition that makes the Ferrari brand is the best
known and most desirable in the automotive world.

Around the same time began to appear, and the company's competitors -
Lamborgini, Lotus, Mazeratti, Porsche. They periodically bypassed
famous sports cars in those or other characteristics, and
sometimes tore their victory in the race. But the leadership in the
majority of cases continued to be for Ferrari. Remarkably, Enzo Ferrari
never resorted to advertising their cars, creating a
brand solely on quality.
We can not say that the history of the brand Ferrari has never been marred. Car race can not do without tragedies, and more than enough, both for the company and for its creator. So, in the 50's killed a well-known racer Alberto Ascari, which is thanks to the participation in the Formula 1 Scuderia Ferrari and acquired its worldwide popularity. Following this death overtook Ferrari Dino - 20 olds son Enzo. Later on the car Ferrari 246 crashed one after the other 2 pilots, whose death was no less tragic.

Enzo Ferrari himself is considered to this day one of the kings of
the automotive industry. During the years of his leadership of the
company Ferrari team has won more than 5 thousands of races,
winning 25 World Cup. He died in 1988, noting his ninety-year
anniversary. After the death of the great Italian Ferrari went to the
FIAT Corporation, which at that time had already owned 50% of
its shares.
And even though the company's founder is no longer at the helm, Ferrari still remains one of the most expensive automobile brands in the world. Team Ferrari and more wins victory. Thus, from 2000 to 2004, the famous racer Michael Schumacher for four consecutive years won the world championship car Ferrari. Continue to create more powerful and fast cars, which do not leave anyone indifferent from motorists.

of what the company has achieved a more than fifty-year history of the
