What Are Ferrari cars?
Ferrari cars come from the company founded by Enzo Ferrari, who first raced for Alfa Romeo. In 1929 he set up Scuderia Ferrari, which ran Alfa Romeo’s racing cars, and then in 1939 he founded his own company, Auto Avio Costruzioni. Finally, in 1947 the first Ferrari-badged car, the 125 S, won its second race.
Enzo built road cars mainly to pay for racing, so Ferrari became famous on the track first. Later, Fiat bought 50% in 1969 and 90% in 1988, after Enzo’s death. Ferrari was listed in New York in 2015, and then it was spun off from Fiat Chrysler in 2016.
Today Ferrari cars are built in Maranello in small numbers, with 13,640 shipped in 2025. The company is also one of the world’s most profitable car makers, while its Formula 1 team is the oldest and most successful in the sport. In 2026 Ferrari revealed the Luce, its first fully electric car.
