No matter how you put it, Ferrari is one of the most popular and heavily sought after cars in the automobile industry. Nothing can best its magnificent aesthetic quality and ultra fast-paced performance. With all of its renown and achievement, there is nothing to doubt about Ferrari's standing as the best in the world. However, due to humble beginnings, no one ever knew, even the founder himself, that Ferrari will be as big as it is today.
Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929, Ferrari was first named Scuderia Ferrari. It was formed as an amateur driver's sponsor in Modena, Italy. Enzo raced numerous drivers and successfully helped train these drivers in Alfa Romeo sports cars for nine years. In 1938, Enzo was hired to head the motor racing department of Alfa Romeo. For two years, he developed new technologies in regards to cars and excelled at his new job. However, due to the forming of a Fascist government in the 1940's and the emergence of a World War, the Italian government absorbed Alfa Romeo. Fortunately, the division of Enzo was not affected because it was too small.
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 first ever Ferrari racecar to be displayed among the public was the Tipo 815. It saw little competition. It was debuted to the public at the Mille Miglia in 1940. Three years later, the Ferrari factory was moved to Maranello, Italy. This was very unfortunate for Enzo for the factory was consequently destroyed by Allied bombing raids during the Second World War. But, Enzo, with renewed determination, sought to rebuild the factory and he did so after the war was over. This day would mark Ferrari's emergence as a top manufacturer of automobiles.
In 1947, Ferrari introduced his first ever road car named as the 125 S. This road car was powered by its 1.5L V12 engine. This newly developed engine started the rise in terms of car development by Ferrari. This brought to more love by the public of Enzo Ferrari's creations and resulted into immediate success.
Due to some circumstances, Enzo Ferrari was reluctant to display to the public his automobile creations. He was displeased and very vocal about people buying his notorious cars for prestige and not for quality.
Whoever thought that a racecar driver and his little division from Alfa Romeo could ever be the greatest automobile manufacturer of all time. From a racecar driver, Enzo Ferrari became the reluctant manufacturer and seller of the world's premier sports car company.
