Ferrari S.p.A.

Ferrari S.p.A. is a famous Italian sports car manufacturer based in Modena and Maranello, Italy. The Ferrari car company was founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929 and was first called Scuderia Ferrari. The Italian car makers first built their reputation on the car racing track and didn't start making street legal Ferraris until 1947. Much of the car technology that Ferrari learned from racing was transferred to their road cars, which has created the Ferrari legend and made them highly sought after by motorists around the world.

Enzo Ferrari sold the sports car division of the car company in 1969 to the Fiat car company. Ferrari had been struggling financially for many years and made the deal to ensure the continued longevity of Ferrari. The racing division of Ferrari remained in the hands of Enzo Ferrari up until his passing in 1988.

Ferrari cars continue to be made in Italy. The Fiat motor group owns the majority of Ferrari, with Enzo's son Piero Ferrari still owning a small stake in the Italian car maker.
