The Birth of a Myth: The Founding of Ferrari Ferrari was born from a passion for speed and precision. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1939, initially as Auto Avio Costruzioni, the company was an extension of Enzo's love of motor racing. During the 1940s, the Ferrari brand was shaped by its presence on the racetrack and later, in 1947, the first Ferrari was produced: the 125 S. This was the starting point for what would become a world-renowned brand. However, the secret behind Ferrari has always been more than just the engineering of its cars. The brand has earned its exclusivity based on its ability to create vehicles that are not just fast machines, but immersive experiences for their owners. This concept of exclusivity was cultivated by Enzo Ferrari and remains the backbone of the brand to this day. Ferrari has always been a small and highly selective brand, producing only a few cars each year, which made it a rare gem for those who could afford it. Practical example: Ferrari produced around 10,000 cars in 2019, a very small number compared to other luxury manufacturers. This creates a market for exclusivity that contributes to maintaining its aura of prestige.
