Ferrari is one of the greatest names in automobile¹ history. It conjures² up images of speed, power and beauty. It was founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929 as a racing³ team. He had no plans to manufacture cars for the road. The original name was Scuderia Ferrari, which translates as ‘Team Ferrari’. He decided⁴ to make street-legal cars in 1947. The company has since enjoyed unrivaled success in Formula One motorsport and an unparalleled reputation and glamorous⁵ image for its sports cars. The company is famous for its “Ferrari red” cars and the prancing⁶ horse logo. Ferrari also branched out into merchandising its brand. It makes sunglasses, luxury pens, perfume, high-tech⁷ bicycles and watches.
