No matter how you put it, Ferrari is one of the most popular and heavily sought after cars in the automobile industry. Nothing can best its magnificent aesthetic quality and ultra fast-paced performance. With all of its renown and achievement, there is nothing to doubt about Ferrari's standing as the best in the world. However, due to humble beginnings, no one ever knew, even the founder himself, that Ferrari will be as big as it is today.
It all started when Enzo Ferrari started a sponsorship for amateur drivers in Modena, Italy in 1929. Enzo helped train and race amateur drivers in Alfa Romeo made sports cars. This sponsorship was named Scuderia Ferrari. He continued doing this until 1938, when he was employed by Alfa Romeo to manage its motor racing department.
Enzo was not allowed to race for four years because of the contract he had with Alfa Romeo. What was known as the Scuderia Ferrari became known as known as the Auto Avio Costruzioni Ferrari. The newly named Auto Avio Costruzioni Ferrari develops and manufactures aircraft accessories as well as various machine tools. Consequently, it was the non-competition period. Still, Enzo manufactured a racecar, the Tipo 815.
The Tipo 815 was first actual Ferrari car ever made and debuted in 1940 at the Mille Miglia. However, it saw little competition because of the Second World War. The Ferrari Factory was then moved to Marenello, Italy in 1943. Unfortunately, due to the spoils of the Second World War, the factory was bombed during a raid in 1944 leaving the factory in ruins. With full determination, Enzo sought to rebuild the damaged factory. In 1946, right after the war has ceased, he did just that by rebuilding the factory and included in his repertoire a works-for-road car production. No one even expected that from then on, Ferrari would become so popular.
The Tipo 815 was the first ever Ferrari racecar to debut amongst the public. It was shown to the public at the Mille Miglia in 1940 and saw very little competition. The Ferrari factory was consequently moved in Maranello, Italy in 1943. However, the Second World War brought devastation to the newly moved factory when the factory was bombed by an Allied raid in Italy in 1944. Right after the war, he started to rebuild the factory. The newly rebuilt factory included a works-for-road car production. From this day on, Ferrari would slowly garner its popularity.
In 1947, Ferrari introduced his first ever road car named as the 125 S. This road car was powered by its 1.5L V12 engine. This newly developed engine started the rise in terms of car development by Ferrari. This brought to more love by the public of Enzo Ferrari's creations and resulted into immediate success.
However, Enzo Ferrari was reluctant in introducing to the public his automobiles. He was not pleased by the fact that people are buying his cars not for the performance, but only, for the prestige.
Even so, Ferrari continues to dominate the automobile industry. Over 3,000 are employed every year and 1,688 Euros are gathered from revenues annually. It is for this reason that Ferrari is the finest manufacturer in the world. No one ever knew that a racecar driver could ever establish the greatest racecar developer today.
