History Of Ferrari
Ferrari--the name behind one of the most well known, one of a kind exotic sports car. Enzo Ferrari has come a long way from his early racing years, to designing one of the greatest sports car ever, the F50.

Ferrari began to build race cars consisting of the Tipo 125 and the Tipo 166. Both were very successful in the Grand Prix, winning many well known races such as the Mille Miglia, the Paris 12-hours race, the Grand Prix of Rosario, and the Le Mans 24-hour competition. This great...
