Ferraris

Ferraris are high-performance luxury sports cars produced by Ferrari S.p.A., an Italian automotive manufacturer headquartered in Maranello. The brand is known for its racing heritage and a distinctive prancing horse emblem.

The company traces its origins to Enzo Ferrari, who founded Auto Avio Costruzioni in 1939; the first road car, the 125 S, debuted in 1947. Although built for racing early on, it soon focused on road cars as the brand gained prestige. Fiat acquired a stake in 1969 and later gained control, and in 2015 Ferrari became a standalone public company, Ferrari N.V., listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Scuderia Ferrari has competed in Formula One since 1950, earning numerous championships and driving innovations in aerodynamics, chassis design, and materials that have shaped the reputation of the road cars.

Ferraris typically use mid- or rear-mounted V8 or V12 engines, emphasize lightweight construction with aluminum chassis and extensive carbon fiber use, and feature advanced electronics and driver-focused interiors. The design heritage has been associated with Pininfarina and, in more recent years, in-house design leadership and collaborations that preserve an instantly recognizable silhouette.

Notable models include the 125 S, 250 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari, SF90 Stradale, and 296 GTB. The brand also produces GT cars and limited-edition supercars, maintaining exclusivity through selective production, bespoke options, and a global dealership network. Ferrari continues to market its cars alongside a factory-backed racing program under Scuderia Ferrari, sustaining the brand’s performance-oriented image.
