By Robert Richardson

The finest automobile manufacturer and developer in the whole world is none other than the Ferrari. With its marvelously implemented style, assured powerful quality and high regards to speed, The Ferrari is the automobile of choice specially in racing events. It truly deserves the renown it has today. But, from the time it is created, no one ever expected that it would become the best in the industry.

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.

Due to his contract with Alfa Romeo, Enzo Ferrari was not permitted to race for four years. By then, Scuderia Ferrari changed its name into Auto Avio Costruzioni Ferrari. The new Ferrari was now a developer of airplane accessories and machine tools. It was during this time that Enzo manufactured the first ever Ferrari, the Tipo 815. Unfortunately for him, it was the non-competition period.

The 1947 125 S was the first ever road car Ferrari that was displayed to the public. It was powered by the then new 1.5L V12 engine. From then on, he developed more cars. The public loved Enzo's creations because it is aesthetic quality and fact engines. It was virtually an immediate success.

Enzo Ferrari was displeased by the fact that he was selling his automobiles. Even as the Ferrari brand cars grew and gained excellence in the world of automobiles. He was disappointed by the fact that most of his buyers only purchased the cars only for the prestige and not the overall performance.

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.

Today, Ferrari continues to grow every year. It collects over 1,688 Euros in revenues annually and hires about 3,000 employees per year. It is still based at Maranello, Italy. This is why Ferrari is the best in the world. Who could ever knew that the race car driver in Enzo Ferrari could someday be the finest sports car manufacturer in the world. - 42631
