A little History:

Sorry for the errors, I had to translate from Spanish....


No mark of automobiles in the world has caused as much fanaticism as Ferrari. A rich history in adventures, disputes and problems. But it would be impossible to include/understand the history of the mark of the Cavallino Rampante if we did not include/understand the first history of its creator: Enzo Ferrari. Il Commendatore was dedicated to the competitions from 1919, with modified cars several times by he himself. Alpha Romeo saw its enormous capacities and in 1929 it contracted it for the preparation of his automobiles. Thus the history of Ferrari, a 1 of December of 1929 began: modifying cars Alpha Romeo.


Logo of Ferrari

The factory was established in the garage Gatti de Módena, but the demand caused that Trento a street and trithis #11 of the same city were changed to building of. In spite of being a sport arm of Alpha, Ferrari soon reached own personality, attracting legendary pilots like Nuvolari during the beginnings of years 30. But the superiority of the cars German as Mercedes and Auto Union (under auspice of the Nazi regime) forced Ferrari to give a course change to their equipment to obtain greater resources. In 1937 it had to sell 80% of his company to Alpha Romeo.

The breakthrough point between Ferrari and Alfa Romeo occurred as of 1938, when the second decided to form the “Corse Alpha”, the new sport being of the mark, that now had all the mechanics whom Enzo had, although to this one it was offered to direct them to him. With this, Ferrari closes his factories in Módena and she embarks to Milan to work in this new project, although she lasted just a short time: the serious discrepancies with several of their new heads caused that Enzo retired definitively of Alpha towards its independización, but a contract clause prevented that Enzo Ferrari could use its last name for the manufacture of cars during following the four years. This way, it creates to Car Costruzioni Provision. The resentment of Enzo towards Alpha Romeo was increased after the success of the 158 (or famous the Alfetta), cars of its own creation.


Enzo, along with Alberto Maximino and Luigi Bellentani, you haul of Alpha Romeo constructed the 815, an own hybrid with many elements of FIAT. Alberto Ascari and Marquess Lotario Rangoni dominated with this car the Mille Miglia of 1940 in their category; but a later abandonment in the race meant the aim of the Car Costruzioni Provision of the competitions when exploding itself World War II, when it was forced by the Italian government to construct war material instead of the sport one. In 1943 the Law of Decentralization of the Industry is put into operation, that conminaba to the factories to distribute itself in different zones from white Italy to avoid the conglomeration and thus to be easy of the allied bombings. This way, the Car Costruzioni Provision is transferred of Módena 16 kilometers towards the south, to a small called town Maranello.

Concluded the war, Ferrari had the faculty already to construct cars with his own name. In 1947 he is constructed the 125. Although the first sport results were favorables, the sales did not favor to the mark since the cars still were constructed artisan. From 1951, Ferrari would enter the era of the cars of manufacture with the 250 in series, stabilizing his fragile economy. A year before, entered to a new category of called competition Formula 1.

Also in 1951, Enzo Ferrari and Battista Pininfarina, designer of automobiles, makes an agreement of mutual collaboration that lasts until today. Almost at the same time, Enzo created the society Esercizio Fabbriche Automobili and Corse (SEFAC) a fusion of all its companies. This way, the decade of 50s was of economic bonanza and world-wide recognition thanks to the wonderful constructed models and the successes in the competitions.





Ferrari Dino (1969)

But in sesentas, the economic situation became difficult again for the house of Maranello. The sport results had almost disappeared before the dominion of the English cars. It was so the crisis that Ford was on the verge of buying the house in 1963. In case this was not little, the market demanded more powerful and less polluting cars at all costs, in addition to a loss of demand of convertible cars because they were to them uncertain (between 1973 and 1984 Ferrari did not make any convertible one). In spite of everything, Ferrari sent at this time glorious models like the Dino, so popular that she got to cost more than several cars with V12 motor being this one one with V6 motor. But with the same popularity, Ferrari gave account that no longer could follow with the company in solitary form. Many small manufacturers had been acquired by the great constructors and Ferrari was in he himself way. In 1969, taking advantage of the good relations with FIAT, Enzo Ferrari he sold to Giovanni Agnelli, president to him of FIAT, 50% of the SEFAC. 80% of the rest would happen at the hands of the Italian empire after which Enzo died (thing that happened in 1988 and FIAT thus happened to have 90% of Ferrari, rest 10% at the hands of Piero Lardi Ferrari, its son).

Ferrari returned to prevail in Formula 1 in the Seventies, surpassing the crisis of petroleum and to a new rival: Lamborghini. Even though which in the eighty economic situation he was stable, the sport results did not smile to him. The great models as the 288 GTO and the F40 were the last ones before the death of Enzo in 1988. The appreciated tribute more was the 1-2 of Ferrari in the GP of Italy de Fórmula 1 just a short time later. From then, FIAT dominates 90% of the mark. The 90 ' s meant the total renovation when sending incredible models like the F355, 550 or the F50. In Formula 1 they returned to the footpath of the triumph in the 2000 when Michael Schumacher gave back the coveted Championship to him of the World. Today they dominate the category reigns. In the 2002, a dream was fulfilled: the launching of the Ferrari Enzo, in honor to the Commendatore, a car thought about him: aggressive, fighter and always first.

The last jewels of Ferrari, the 612 Scaglietti and the 460, demonstrate that the house of Maranello will continue being as always great.




It makes it of Ferrari in Manarello:

If to speak of Ferrari it is to speak on a passion, it is essential to describe his seat, its home, or for many, its center of perenigraje. Maranello is a small city located to 16 kilometers to the south of Módena (Italy for the disorientated one).

But to say truths, this city was not host of Ferrari by a voluntary decision. From its beginnings like mechanic, Enzo Ferrari settled down in Módena; but the outbreak of World War II, coverall the allied counter-offensive, modified the plans drastically. In 1943 the Law of Decentralization of the Industry is put into operation, that conminaba to the factories to distribute itself in different zones from white Italy to avoid the conglomeration and thus to be easy of the allied bombings. This way, the Car Costruzioni Provision (the provisional name that was used by an agreement signed by Alpha Romeo) was transferred of Módena 16 kilometers towards the south, to Maranello.

From then, this town began to grow to he himself rate that the factory in which it welcomed. The successes of Ferrari caused that the company grew, reason why the city was being developed of such way, that to today almost all the existing businesses (related to the tourism as restaurants or souvenirs) they turn around Ferrari. On 1963, Il Commendatore founded the Professionale Institute to per l´Industria and Artigianato (Professional Institute for the Industry and the Artesanado), a school of learning in the city, near the factory, which all the technicians and engineers leave almost who work in Ferrari. In spite of the globalización, a great percentage of the workers of the factory is of the zone.

As far as the factory, the advance of the technology forced it to make deep changes, but always taking care of the tradition of the house. The great amplación of the factory began in 1997 (the project was called Uomo Formula), and their works are presumed will finish in the 2006. One is the modernization and extension of all his areas, logistic, manufacturing as as much sport, putting it at the level of the maximum automobile empires, in spite of being considered by the volume of units a small manufacturer.

But it counts on all the elements that a true automobile plant requires: the offices administrative, logistic, plant of motors, mechanics, production line, finished section of, painting and maintenance; and a special section of Formula 1 (that counts on the same sections that the cars), including tunnel of wind and own circuit (Fiorano).

In general, thus it is the factory of Ferrari in Maranello. Next, some specific details.



Within the sport facilities of Ferrari, closely together of the power station of Ferrari, is the deprived circuit of Fiorano. The access is restricted and the only form to be able to see it is by outside, through the grates, since several streets of Maranello finish here. The circuit counts on all the technology of revision and data collection of any circuit of high competition, necessary to measure the yield of each model or new prototype that rolls this way according to the zone of the circuit. For that it was done.

Like circuit of tests, the layout of Fiorano is mixed, but with a clear tendency at the speed. It has form of “8” and measures a little more than 3 kilometers in length. The 14 curves of the circuit are divided in fast, slow, closed and in “U”. In addition, it counts on a straight line main of 740 meters, sufficient so that the cars reach the Maxima speed. The zone of pits, stores all the data collected in the tests, and they are analyzed right away.

The record of the circuit (obvious all marking by the F1) is broken regularly: at the moment they distribute to the merit Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello, Luca Badoer or Luciano Burti. The faster car of street can make a smaller time to the minute and means. Only Formula 1 is able to lower the minute.



To construct a Ferrari:


In spite of the fame and the fastuosas amounts of money that handles Ferrari, it is known that the construction of their cars is artisan, with a plant very reduced of production that custom-made satisfies the exclusive feature with its cars (and its high price). After all the process of design, manufacture and tests of handling and security of the new Ferrari, are come when coming out from the first model on sale. For example, the assembly line of the F50 (one of the best models of the ninety) allowed only two vehicles simultaneously, the sufficient thing for a so exclusive model, that it had between his requirements his purchase to have had a F40 before and to both accept one clásula of nonsale in following later years to his acquisition.

To describe the pieces that the car required would be too extensive. Only the certain thing is that the plant for this model had all the necessary comforts for the workers, that they count on an extreme patience in the construction of the car, that had to clear the perfection like all Ferrari. But this perfection also would have to feel it the client, who was guest to the same factory of Maranello so that he is he himself the one that sees how his is constructed to its car, taking advantage of estadía to take the measures him necessary to regulate the distance to him of the pedals, rudder, etc., and to make him a seat adapted to assure the greater possible comfort to him.

Although this one margin is said that the artisan form of work can cause some errors in the construction of the car, in the case of Ferrari is minimum. In case some part of the car fails, the concessionaire will fix it immediately, and if the problem is a little more complicated, a technician is sent from Maranello towards the place where he is required, thus is to the other side of the world, with the pieces and the logistics required to solve the problem. That perfect he can be a Ferrari when he is in problems, that perfect is the Ferrari when he has himself her.


Biographies:

Enzo Ferrari


Enzo Ferrari, “Il Commendatore”, was born the 18 of February of 1898 in Módena, Italy. It could not complete his scholastic education by the early death of his father, and had to work like employee in the factory of the body of firemen of the city. After serving like soldier in World War I, it worked like pilot of tests in Turin in 1918. Time later became official pilot and of tests the Construzioni Meccaniche Nazionali Milan.

It began to compete officially in the Parma-Berceto of 1919. That same year ran mythical Targa Florio. A year later, Romeo in a bond is transferred to Alpha that lasted 20 years happening through pilot of tests, official, attending pilot of sales and in the end as director of the division of competition of the mark until November of 1939. During that spectacular passage by Alpha he received the award of Cavalieri in 1924 and the one of Commendatore in 1927. In 1929 the Scudería creates by its account Ferrari with seat in Módena, with the only aim to compete and to organize races.

Years later it created a special equipment and it turned to his mark the division of Races and Engineering of Alpha Romeo, controlling soon the section of competition in 1933. In 1940 Ferrari Romeo breaks contact itself with Alpha and Construzioni Provision becomes the “Car Ferrari”, being originally cooperator with the national company of aviation in Rome.

In 1943, in the heat of World War II, the factory of Enzo Ferrari was transferred of Módena to Maranello and began to construct diverse machineries. This one was bombed by the allies in 1944 and their activities were interrupted until 1946, when the house was reconstructed. Neither or remade this one, they began with the works for the launching of the first car Ferrari. In 1950, it enters Formula 1.


In 1952, Enzo received the title Cavalieri de Lavoro; and in 1960, one honorarium in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bologna. In that same year, its factory is united to FIAT. In 1963, Il Commendatore constructed the Professionale Institute to per l´Industria and Artigianato, a school of learning in Maranello. In 1969, FIAT buys 50% of the actions of the mark of the Cavallino Rampante.

The exquisite saga of supersport of Ferrari makes only in the world, with an innumerable amount of fanatics everywhere. The Dino, F40, F50 and now the F60 are his more known creations. The sport history of the Scudería is full of triumphs, but also of sinsabores and controversy. Its rows they left ídolos like Jodi Scheckter, Gilles Villeneuve and today Michael Schumacher. But in the last days of life of Enzo it did not see its equipment like winner in Formula 1.

The last honorary title received it from the University of Módena with mention in Physics in 1988. It died the 14 of August of 1988 in Módena, and from automatic form FIAT it takes possession of 90% of the actions of the mark according to agreement already before signed. The maximum tribute of the Commendatore was, without a doubt, memorable the 1-2 of Ferrari in the GP of Italy de F1 in the mythical circuit of Monza, only days after its disappearance





Battista Pininfarina


Battista “Pinin” Farina, brilliant carriage maker whose work lasts to the present time, was born in Turin (Italy), the 2 of November of 1893. From boy he felt curiosity by the novel automobiles, and to the 17 years along with their brother formed a company that called Stabilimenti Farina, specialist in the construction of body and some autopartes of automobile. In 1920, he emigrated towards the United States where some time for Henry Ford worked, soon to return to Italy to apply all the learned one.

In this company already he introduced some innovations, as the inclined windshield and calenders horizontal and collaborated in the design of cars like Fiat Zero. For 1930, Battista breaks the society with its brother to found its own company, the Carrozzeria Pinin Farina, whose base established it in Turin.

It was custom of the manufacturers of automobiles of the pre-war, to be in charge of chasises and its components, ordering of the esterior aspect of the car to the carriage makers. At the present time, these unique models in their species are a headache them collectors to find the perfection in the restoration of one to the being since the carriage makers used to make their works by hand. the Carrozzeria Pinin Farina with time became a specialized house of reputation having between its clients to famous politicians, artists and until the real houses; whereas the fame of Battista already crossed the borders.

World War II stopped all type of activity because the manufacturers had changed the automobiles by the tanks. When the situation returned to normality, Battista had to support one of the most difficult moments of its life: its factory was practically destroyed as a result of a fire. It had to deliver indefatigable attacks to raise his business and of reopening his doors, in 1947.

Now the clients changed of millionaire personages to such manufacturers. Alpha Romeo, Lancia and FIAT was their main clients. But time later would establish a union that would mark it of by life: Ferrari. The relation was so fruitful that until today the Pinifarina house it designs several of his better models.

The fame of Battista Farina was colossal in the world of the automobile. Of agreed to the name of its factory, Battista asks for to the Italian government the change of Farina last name, by Pininfarina, request that is accepted in 1961. Almost at the same time, its factory changes of name to Pininfarina S.p.A. After this change, Battista Pininfarina at the most lets to its position of the company to its son Sergio and his son-in-law Renzo Carli, retiring to rest and to enjoy its oldness.

Battista Pininfarina calmly died the 3 of April of 1966, leaving to its son the legacy of a great house of design that in today enjoys the splendor that always will last in its cars.


Michael Schumacher



In the middle of 1991, a German pilot entered Formula 1 of explosive form: In the GP of Belgium, Schumi, for its compatriots, had to reeplazar to then jailed Bertrand Gachot in novel Jordan; it classified sétimo, much for a newcomer one. And at the time of the game, quarter got to be located before leaving in the third curve. That was sufficient for the big shot of Benetton, Flavio Briatore, along with contracted for the year following Nelson to it Piquet. Michael Schumacher was born the 3 of January of 1969 in Kerpen, Germany. He began to run from the four years, when volume kart, like most of pilots F1. He practiced and he practiced in the track that had its father until the 14 when it made debut in a race. Junior would gain the German championship the following year. Soon it would happen to the Ford Formula and of there to 3 Formula German, thanks to his manager Willy Weber, who vió in him to a jewel in gross. In 1990, it would gain that championship and it would be contracted to run in the Sport championship of cars; and the following year, one would embark in the F1.

Although Michael Schumacher is now the most winning pilot for all time, is also a personage who also brings with himself much controversy and a series of anecdotes in his passage by Formula 1. One of most peculiar, was the form of how it entered to the category reigns: deceiving Eddie Jordan, the head of the equipment that takes its name.

Schumacher began to run from the four years, when volume kart, like most of pilots F1. He practiced and he practiced in the track that had its father until the 14 when it made debut in a race. Junior would gain the German championship the following year. Soon it would happen to the Ford Formula and of there to 3 Formula German, thanks to his manager Willy Weber, who vió in him to a jewel in gross. In 1990, it would gain that championship and it would be contracted to run in the Sport championship of cars. But the dream of any pilot of races is to rise a Formula 1, Schummy did not know how until an opportunity with the equipment appeared to him Jordan.

Betrand Gachot, the pilot #1 of the equipment, had been arrested in the previous days the GP of Belgium of 1991 and there was not one that replaces it. In those days she appears Willy Weber, who proposes to Jordan the name to him of a young call Michael Schumacher so that him of an opportunity. Jordan, who in that then had a small equipment and with low budget, accepted to speak with him.

After seeing his promising palmarés, Jordan asked to him Schumacher if she knew the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps, where was going away to make the race, and this one said yes to him that. The error of Jordan was not to have asked to him if it competed there, since in fact (as he himself Schummy would recognize) it had only given a pair of returns in bicycle.

With or without intention, Schumacher gave to understand Jordan him who was expert of the circuit reason why the Irish contracted it for the race:

“The people of Jordan thought that I knew the circuit, because that is what it said itself to them, I I did not know absolutely anything of the circuit, so that I occurred two returns with my bicycle to see how she was”, she said to the today tetracampeón of the world.



After tests in the circuit of Silverstone, Michael traveled to Belgium to run in a circuit in which he had only crossed in bicycle, and that surely that race by television had only seen. But number 32 behind powerful the Williams, McLarens and Ferraris would give to the surprise to the everybody when classifying sétimo to its modest green car. But in the race, the clutch failed to him and it could not complete nor a single return, being in last position in the final classification of the race that it had like winner to Ayrton Senna. But its great quality as pilot were more and Flavio Briatore immediately hauled it towards the Benetton equipment for the following race in Italy, race who finished in fifth place (behind Mansell, Senna, Prost and Berger), an extraordinary result for which had only run twice in Formula 1

Michael had a good campaign in 1992. Its first important result was his second position in grilla of the GP of Spain, between unattainable the Williams and Nigel Mansell. First race in the GP of Belgium would gain his, he himself in whom had made debut a year exactly before. It finished third in front of Senna and to only a point in front of Patrese, second pilot of Williams. Perhaps the 93 were not as good as the previous one, although the GP of Portugal took, he himself GP in which Prost devoted champion.

In this year, Schumacher arrived at the top. He flashingly began defeating to Senna, the archifavorito, in he himself GP of Brazil. Absolute leader and practically without rivals, before the disappearance of Senna in sadly the famous GP of San Marino. But almost infantile it gives to him more than 40 points to Damon Hill so that both end up disputing in the GP of Australia the title. Now, Schumacher is the most famous sportsman of Germany and first of that country in gaining a championship of Formula 1.

Surely, if Michael Schumacher had not been pilot of races, he would be a common mechanic of his native city. By his close friends, Michael has a normal behavior, although he lacks greater cultural dominion, which causes that the conversations with him do not arrive at ideas beyond the banal thing. The fast success and the fortune that reached as much took it to be an arrogant and outlandish person in its personality, clothes and tastes than more strange.

In 1995, it squashed to all obtaining therefore the bichampionship. But the great news was the change of the German pilot towards the equipment that would change the life to him: Ferrari. Then, all thought that the money had caused that Schumacher made that decision, was obvious that they would finish all his gust of wind of triumphs, but the ambition to retake the greatness of long ago of the Scudería could more.


1996 were a difficult year. Although it gained three races, it was far from the performances of the Williams de Hill and Villeneuve. They had to wait for until 1997 so that Ferrari and Schumacher returned to a really competitive level. Each race with the aid of its escudero disputed with Villeneuve handspan to handspan Eddie Irvine until the end, in the GP of Sherry Europe of the Border. An controversial maneuver that finished in the abandonment of the German allowed to the first title to the son of the great Gilles Villeneuve.

In 1998 everything seemed favorable to Ferrari. The Williams no longer was such of before and the pressure by the title was great. But they appeared the McLaren de Hakkinen and Coulthard, that took the championship after a definition in Suzuka. In 1999, Schumacher, when he was the leader of the match, accidentó very hard in Silverstone whose consequence was a broken leg and the loss of all option to the title. Now it would be Irvine that took the baton, but in Japan Hakkinen the bichampionship would take again.

Finally it would be the 2000 year of Schumacher. It gained all the races that were disputed outside Europe, and with other triumphs in this continent, it was raised with the title winning finally to Mika Hakkinen. What nobody thought is that this one was the beginning of an era of absolute superiority of the German and Ferrari. In the 2001 it obtained the tetracampeonato beating the famous record of victories and obtained points of Alain Prost, and one already scored towards the pentacampeonato that the legendary Juan only showed Manuel Fangio.

2002 were of a descumunal dominion of Schumacher. It overcame the inaugural race in Australia with the car of the last year, and from then GP was written down after GP (including the scandal of Austria) until becoming champion in France, with nothing less than six dates of anticipation. In the 2003, of form much more disputed, it obtained what in the last 45 years it seemed impossible: to obtain a sixth title. This way, Michael Schumacher is really most winning of the history, whose shade of the retirement already approaches to him but the hunger of triumphs still maintains it intact before its confirmation to continue running until the 2006. Its biography, still is far from being finished




Juan Manuel Fangio


Juan Manuel Fangio, considered by many (coverall those that saw it) the best pilot for all time, was born in Balcarce, Argentina, the 24 of June of 1911. The crooked one, call thus by its peculiar form to play soccer, begins in the world of irons from boy, when it began to work in a factory. After fulfilling his service military, it lately opens his own business of mechanics with the acquired knowledge.

With the gains of its factory, Fangio competed in diverse races throughout South America. Their innumerable profits facilitated the support to him of the Automobile Argentine Club to rise one of the Maserati to run with Italian pilots in 1947. After overcoming them, the crooked one is sent to Europe to compete professionally, gaining diverse races and championships. With the creation of Formula 1 in 1950, Fangio is called by Alpha Romeo to rise one of its cars.

After a tenacious fight with Nino Farina in 1950, Juan Manuel Fangio gains his first Championship of Formula 1 in 1951. The following year, an accident maintained it outside the tracks by several months, having to return just for 1953. In this year, it had to yield the title before Alberto Ascari after one closed fight. From then, the dominion of the Argentinean was impressive. It gained the championships of 1954, 1955, 1956 and 1957, soon to retire of the category in 1958, when it was 47 years old.

Although it was near the death in each race that disputed, the worse moment of its life passed it outside them, when it was kidnapped in Cuba by orders of Fidel Castro. Fangio, that had traveled to the island for an exhibition race, was stopped by a man who, with pistol in hand, took it place to a unknown of Havana. All Cuba so paralyzed before the disappearance of magno personage, but in fact this one would begin a great relation with Arnold Rodriguez, one of its raptores. Fangio was treated like a king by its kidnappers, whom they only looked for to boycott the race without doing the minimum damage to him to a personage to whom they admired. The brotherhood with Rodriguez transferred the borders of the time, being one of its better friends until the last one of its days.

The death of Juan Manuel Fangio, the 17 of 1995 July, caused commotion in the world of the sport. A legend had gone away almost a year after another great one, Ayrton Senna, of that Fangio supposed only the able one to equal its record of 5 obtained championships. In today, Michael Schumacher is the one who takes the legacy, and is now where he sees clearly the dimensions that the “crooked one” reached.




Gilles Villeneuve


Gilles Villeneuve, ídolo of Ferrari, was born in Quebec, Canadian territory, in 1952. From boy he ran in sleighs of snow to motor, being world-wide champion of the specialty to the 19 years. In 1973, he lets the sleighs to begin to run with cars, specifically in the Ford Formula, happening soon to American the Atlantic Formula. In 1976, champion of Atlantic, winning 9 of the 10 races of the championship also devoted itself; of equal way, in 1977, he would obtain the title of the category but in Canadian version.

This same year, he would enter with brightness and controversy Formula 1 piloting a McLaren. During the practices of the GP of England, he began to make trompos in each curve of the circuit, according to him, to prove to the car (). For that then relations between Niki Lauda and the Commendatore Enzo Ferrari they came down, doing who the Austrian was practically thrown of the equipment. In the search of the reemplazante, Enzo saw in Gilles a jewel in gross, contracting its services to handle one of its cars. From there, Villeneuve never would leave the mark of the Cavallino Rampante.

The beginning was not good. Gilles ran the two last races; first he finished in position 12, and in second, he carried out first of his incredible gust of wind of terrible accidents. In Monte Fuji (Japan), Villeneuve tried to surpass to Ronnie Peterson in the main straight line. But in the attempt, one of its front wheels touched against one of the back of the Tyrrell de Peterson, leaving the catapult Ferrari outside the track, towards the public. Both watching died and 10 hurt they were possible to be avoided if it is that these had paid attention to the warning to be a that zone prohibited for the public. Incredibly Gilles left unharmed.

1978 were its more controversial year. In his eagerness to obtain results in fast form, in almost all the season it was dedicated more than nothing to destroy cars, being contributor in diverse accidents and confusions, each one more serious than the previous one. The terquedad of Enzo in maintaining its confidence in the Canadian pilot firm made mature quickly to this one, obtaining its first great profit when taking the victory in the last race, exactly in Canada, of end to end. For or or badly, its new condition of inmortal pilot turned the man spectacle of Formula 1, and new ídolo of tifosi.



Its better season was in 1979, in which he was runner-up behind his teammate Jody Scheckter. It would be possible to be said that #2 of the equipment lost the championship more by the loyalty of being the pilot that by own errors, although it had demonstrated to be faster than Scheckter, when it gained the two first races of the year and when carrying out a memorable duel with René Arnoux in France. Race to also remember the GP of Holland, when after reventón of wheel, had to almost take its Ferrari of flank with the made unusable left back suspension. Villeneuve arrived at pits to hope the miracle to return to the track, but she was in vain. The title (of pilots) of Scheckter was the last one that Ferrari would obtain until the 2000, when campeonara Michael Schumacher.

However, 1980 were a year to forget. The Ferrari 312T5 must have been one of the worse ones contruidos by the Scudería. In almost all the races the red cars classified places of the game in the last, and to make matters worse Jody Scheckter not even could classify for the GP of Canada. The champion of the previous year would announce his retirement of Formula 1. He would replace Didier Pironi, that time later would become the enemy of Gilles.


Gilles in Monaco (1981)
1981 were scene of both greater triumphs of Gilles Villeneuve. First, in the GP of Monaco in which it buried the idea that the motors I disturb could not win in this type of circuits, when it knew to dominate the power of his motor before the narrow margin of error that offers the circuit monagués. The second, in Spain, can also be considered like heroic: after a great game it was placed of sétimo to third; soon it surpassed by it go to Carlos Reutemman and later it took the end thanks to an error from Alan Jones. It had to resist to Laffite, Watson, Reutemann and Of Angelis during 67 returns, until gaining the victory.


After more accidents, and a dramatic participation in Canada when average race without rain aileron ran almost, was catapult like the favorite of the public for 1982. The new Ferrari 126C2 put it like favorite to the title, but it appeared in scene his Co-equiper Didier Pironi. In the GP of San Marino, when the equipment demanded to him to take care of the backs of Gilles, it passed it in the last return and the victory took. From that Pironi moment one became his enemy, and the treatment of Villeneuve towards Ferrari cooled off.

Its race in Formula 1 was spectacular. Great partidor, very vehement and always running to the edge of the knife, therefore could be summarized its style of handling. That one style was worth the admiration to him of the public towards whom it was not scared to him to anything, that it played frequently with the death apparently without mattering to him much. She was always protagonist of terrible accidents, which always unemployed left well. All less in one.

It was the Great Prize of Belgium, 8 of May of 1982 in the circuit of Zolder. Pironi was placed in better position than he during the classifications and that could not allow it. Gilles furiously left to recover his condition of pilot #1 of the equipment. In its fast return, a fatal descoordinación between him and Jochen Mass took place, that was in its return of deceleration. Villeneuve and Mass chose he himself place of the track to happen; soon, the left front wheel of the Ferrari hit the right back of the March; the car of Gilles lost the control and the following scene was frightening: the Ferrari left sudden flight by airs hitting against the wall to more than 200 km/h. The lap belt of Gilles did not resist the tremendous force of deceleration and finished to several meters of its car, that was destroyed. It died in the act. One says much that its accelerator the car was had left “patch” and that this prevented to the Canadian to react in time.

Although it only gained 6 races and aside from 1979 and 1981 it did not obtain remarkable seasons, his style of handling made of him a myth. Its better legacy is called Jacques, yes obtained the longed for championship in 1997, perhaps culminating the work that his father left by halves. Today he is the second pilot better paid of Formula 1. The past Wednesday 20 years of the tragic death of their father and the memories and tributes were marked were not made hope. We will never know if Gilles Villeneuve could have been champion, but in spite of it, always he will be ídolo of Ferrari and one of the runners more spectacular than had the Queen category


Ferrari versus Fighter bomber





It was without a doubt the more unpublished automobile test of the year. Ferrari F2003-GA, lead by hexacampeón world-wide Michael Schumacher, less faced nothing a supersonic airplane, the EuroFighter Typhoon handled by the Italian pilot battle (and astronaut) Maurizio Cheli.

The test, disputed the 11 of December of the 2003, was without a doubt a great event from the previous days. Only in two occasions there was a similar test: The 8 of December 1931, Tazio Nuvolari in an Alpha Romeo 2300 competed with a Caproni-100 biplane in the track of the Littorio (Rome), being winning the airplane. Fifty years later, the 22 of November of 1981, the Ferrari 126 CK Turbo de Gilles Villeneuve fought against a F-104 in airport of Istrana (Treviso) being winning the red cavallino.

The challenge was going to divide itself in three parts: the first race would cover a distance with 600 meters (beneficial for the Ferrari), second of 900 (equal possibilities) and third of 1200 (favorable for the Eurofighter). Actually previous days to the event, the hunting was slightly superior, but the rain that untied in the day of the race did of the unforseeable result. In order to take advantage of the motor to the maximum, the Ferrari practically ran without aerodynamic load in his ailerons, treating to surpass his terminal velocity registered of 368 km/h.

The first race gained Michael Schumacher, crossing the 600 meters in line straight in 9.4 seconds while the airplane did it in 9.6 ". The second race, as it were expected, gained the fighter-bomber one with 14,2 seconds, against the 16,7 " of the Ferrari. The third and last race (that defined the challenge) gained the Eurofighter with a lightest margin (13 " against 13,2 ") on the F2003-GA.

In spite of the defeat, Michael Schumacher could not hide his satisfaction to have participated in this adventure: “It has been a very interesting experience, I am glad here of having been today, has been impressive. There is less pressure at least than if I face Juan Pablo Montoya… The best race has been first, where I won. But for rain, we would have had more takes hold, but in any case the result was not most important in this duel. It has been amused to see how the airplane took off from my position. From a technical point of view, the exit has been like the one of a Great Prize, but we consider the power difference that exists between a hunting battle and Formula 1, I believe that the final result of the confrontation has been the awaited one. But the truth is that it has been a spectacular confrontation and everything a challenge. Espero that the fans have enjoyed so much as it I have done I! …”

This it was, without a doubt, one of the most unpublished events of Ferrari in the last years.




Sachin Tendulkar is a famous Indian player of cricket of 30 years, the richest sportsman of its country. Their impressive sport profits at the moment animated to the Fiat group (of which Ferrari is part) to give 360 to him Módena, the sold car more of the house of Maranello.

In normal circumstances it would not have passed to be a deserved tribute to a sportsman taking advantage of the situation like a good advertising blow, if not outside because Tendulkar was forced by the government of its country to pay a tax don't mention it less than 245000 dollars to be able to gather its small gift. Something incredible if we took into account that this sum is greater at the cost of he himself car. All this because in India a tax of the 120% to any car exists that enters its country.

He was he himself Michael Schumacher who presented/displayed the car to him to Tendulkar in the 2002 in England, but the problem of the tax retarded everything. Fiat, that could not remain with a detrimental image before a market of more than 1000 million inhabitants, did not have left other than to pay it that exhorbitante sum, under the excuse to assume this tax like part of the spirit of a gift like this one.

Sachin Tendulkar already is enjoying the 360 Ferrari Módena, who arrived at India in the month of August, but the 2003.


Ferrari F92A, a failure!






Ferrari is generally synonymous of success in Formula 1. And analyzing the 53 years participating in Formula 1 he justifies this affirmation fully. But one long time of drought existed, where simply the Cavallinos did not gain anything, and this exasperating situation advanced with the course of the years.

The year of 1992 ran and Ferrari counted already on 13 years of defeats since Jody Scheckter gained the 1979 championship. Two years back, Alain Prost was on the verge of obtaining the title for the house of Maranello, assumed that for the season following Ferrari obtained what as much she yearned for, but the bad results sadly were transformed in the famous phrase “the Ferrari seems a truck”, of Prost. To retaliation to the bad results, the French was dismissed of the Scudería before finishing the season of 1991. For the following year, Ferrari put the beards in soaking and decided to throw the house by the window to obtain finally the yearned for winning car.

With Niki Lauda like group leader and then promising the Jean Alesi and Iván Capelli like pilots, Ferrari F92A appeared to the world. Externally it was a spectacular car simply: he jumped at sight the impressive blower pipes that made remember the North American fighters F16; the front aileron had a fall that finished in end whose front Vista made see reckless. The chassis raised upon a platform, the intense red color of their body and the black of their chassis, did of this car one of the most beautiful facts in the history of the category reigns.

On the inside, one hoped that the semiautomatic gear box of six speeds that were developing years back could operate the most powerful V12 motor of 740 15000 to the maximum HP to rpm. In theory it was a missile. It only lacked the first acid test in the inaugural date of season 1992 of the F1.





The GP of South Africa would be the first test for Ferrari F92A. Of an axe blow any attempt of success of the new cavallino disappeared when Williams FW14B of the Briton Nigel Mansell gave a small sample of which the title was destined for him, when squashing to all from the first turns of classifications to the slope of the flag to pictures. In his first presentation the two “jewels” of Maranello left by problems in the motor. The fifth place of Alesi in the classifications gave foot to say that the abandonments were only a problem of youth of the car. But passing of the GPs was on the awares all: this would be one of the worse years of the history of the Scudería.

Three weeks later the GP of Mexico was disputed, the F92A of Alesi again left by breakage of the motor and Capelli accidentó in the game. But the thin results in the classifications already worried (unpublished positions 10 and 20 respectively). Everything seemed to have solved in Brazil, when the Ferraris occupied the quarter and fifth place (although to a return of Mansell). Good the new ones returned in Spain, when Alesi finished third taking advantage of the existing deluge.

Tifosi common and current waited for a good race of its bolides in the GP of San Marino. All the good one obtained in the two previous dates erased by a dissapointing performance of the pilots from the classifications (they divided 7 and 8, not even finished the race). In the GP of Monaco they ran with the same luck. The third place of Alesi in the GP of Canada no longer could hide the failure of the F92A, since in that race all the pilots of end left almost. In order to vary, in France they left both. In Great Britain, Capelli as soon as it obtained the ninth place after starting off fourteenth. Alesi finished the fifth in Hockenheim taking advantage of power its motor although to more a minute of Mansell, that to that height of the season already had the title in its pocket. Not even a evolution of the car, the F92AT, could remedy the chaotic situation.

Capelli finally obtained a decent result after seven races when finishing sixth in the GP of Hungary (where Nigel Mansell crowned champion). The two Ferraris left, this time in Belgium, at which they arrived at the GP of Italy with the obligation to obtain a good result, so good that it had to erase the lamentable previous performances

After one he releases season of errors, abandonments, and fights with the worse cars of the category by the last places (Capelli was crudely last in the GP of France), Ferrari arrived at the GP of Italy under an intense pressure. Even so, the tifosis overwhelmed the tribunes with the circuit of Monza. After sessions clasificatorias, the landscape was totally new and encouraging: Alesi occupied the third place and Capelli sétimo. For the day of the race, the espectativa increased after which it was made the supply and later rejection public of Ayrton Senna to run in the Scudería the next year, reason why was expected the answer to such snub in the tracks. But the heavy cross fell again as curse: almost immediately, both cars lost positions being surpassed easily in the main straight line by bolides of V8 motors, in front of the tifosis. The shame was increased when Alesi left, and the comedy finished when Capelli later confused in the Parabolic curve only seconds. Aim of the race. Ferrari crowned therefore a series of failures that, although did not finish there because still they lacked three races, meant the worse nightmare than tifosi can imagine.

The Ferraris left again in the GP of Portugal after starting off in positions 10 and 16. That result no longer surprised anybody. Iván Capelli was thrown of the Scudería and replaced by Nicola Larini in the GP of Japan. Paradoxicalally, in that race both cars could cross the line of goal without leaving after 10 races ().

The sad goodbye of season 1992 finished with the fourth place of Alesi and eleventh of Larini (that started off in position 19) in the GP of Australia. Altogether only they accumulated 21 points in 16 races, an average of 0,66 points by car by GP.

Much money, few results. It was even spoken of a possible retirement of the Scudería of Formula 1, rumor that was denied happily immediately. Niki Lauda, the then group leader, ran with the same luck of Capelli to the being dismissed of the equipment. Thus one of the blackest stages of the history of Ferrari in the Maxima category of motoring finished. A stage that happily was surpassed thanks to the present successes that could raise to Ferrari towards upper of Formula 1, and of which seems much more that it is going to last more, than the time of the failure.





Ferrari GTO, pioneer of its species.





Ferrari is the pioneer of the cars with denomination GTO, but the origin of this famous name is in fact unpublished.

Everything began in the offices of the Federation the International of the Automobile (IT TRUSTS), when the category decided to accredit for the World-wide Championship of Marks of 1962 Great Tourism for the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta. In the note sent to Maranello Ferrari GT Omologata said (“accredited” in Spanish), simplified in the mark “Ferrari GTO”.

While the factory prepared the new car, outside this one much with the name of “GTO” for the new machine was speculated on, even though that this one was not in the plans of the creators.

In spite of all Ferrari it yielded before habladurías and it decided to the aim to put to him the name 250 GTO to one of greatest bolides of competitions of the mark of the Cavallino Rampante, leaving the factory in 1962. The success and the later fame of this car served like model for the following generations of sport cars around the world, and more than a automotive mark it took denomination GTO to his more audacious projects


Ferrari in Indycar






In order to find the origins of this idea it is necessary to overcome to us until 1986, when the “Commendatore” Enzo Ferrari, entered the tiny beast to him to go away of Formula 1 by the terrible relations with the leaders of ENTRUSTS it (Bernie Ecclestone llámese). It was a time of not very good results for Ferrari. The 11 of November of that year, during the proclamation of the contract of John Barnard for the Scudería, let glimpse the accomplishment of a new car. The rumors began.

As it were said before, the relation between the people of Ferrari and ENTRUSTS it was not good. But the idea that this relation love-hatred between both was going to finish in the rupture of the relations veia distant for the majority, reason why ENTRUSTS it (main beneficiary in counting on the services of Ferrari for the category), did not make great thing to solve the discrepancies. This made lose the patience to Enzo Ferrari, little treatable person, and commanded to contruir to Ferrari 637, with the intention to take its things of Formula 1 to go away to the Indycar. The threats of Il Commendatore seemed taking for the first time body.

The following year, in the Automotive Fair of Genoa, Italy, was the new car. Ferrari 637 had a V8 motor with I disturb, of 32 valves (four by cylinder) and two axes of levies. The designer was Gustav Brunner, technical big shot of the Cavallino Rampante in Formula 1 in that year. It was the presentation of the new car for the Indycar, joy of many, although of preoccupation for others. The bad fortune in Formula 1 and the constant threats of Enzo Ferrari to retire of the category reigns became reality.

The good Enzo said that the budget to run in Indycar would be smaller, much smaller than the one of Formula 1. There was an ambivalent feeling since the breakage of the house of Maranello with the Maxima could signiicar category of motoring, or also that the Indycar project would only be of smaller preference to the one of Formula 1. Whichever it is the reasons, any approach to the North American formula came down after the death of the Commendatore, in 1987. This meant the aim of history.

All this could be concluded like totally verídica history if it is that not outside by another reason, given by people near the Commendatore, that would put in judgment fabric the true interest of Ferrari in competing in Indycar.

Supposedly Ferrari would initiate his participation in the Indy in 1988. Before the death of Enzo, the project was sent to Alpha Romeo. In spite of having almost all ready one to compete, the Indycar plan was left side. Nobody retook it and the project Indycar de Enzo Ferrari was filed and forgotten definitively.

And what happened with Ferrari 637? This car now rests calmly in the Gallery Ferrari de Maranello; seeing how his distant cousin, the F2003-GA, is taking all the attentions. He had been spectacular to see this red car in Indianapolis. A pain

Because they are Red .........






In order to know this answer, it is necessary to overcome to us until 1900, when a norm settled down that would govern the color of the automobiles according to by countries. To Italy it touched the red color to him with white details, but in addition to France it touched the blue color to him (significant color of the Bugatti), to Germany silverplated (by something the arrows of silver of Mercedes and Auto Union) and the green one to Great Britain (for example the Lotus). This norm lasted until 1970, although in itself the norm is worth like pact of horsemen.

Ferrari became popular by the successes in the competitions at the end of the Forties, and the clients preferred the red color to their cars by the relations with those of race. But cases in that existed the red cavallinos were not red: In 1949, Juan Manuel Fangio commanded to paint his blue and yellow Ferrari of (colors who corresponds to him to Argentina). He is possible to remember the saying at the outset, that the Italian cars of competition did not have to be totally red, reason why is common to see several Ferraris compete with white bands in the body.

Although in today the red color he is requested by the clients, exist in fact 18 different tones, among them some tonalities of he himself red one






Ferrari versus Lamborghini






Finished the war, Ferrucio Lamborghini, that had evolved in a detachment of transport for the Italian army, began to buy leftovers of military vehicles to turn them agricultural machinery. So it was the success of his new business that stops 1960, Lamborghini already was the third Italian industrialist in the heading of the construction of machinery for the land, specially of tractors.

With the obtained gains, Ferrucio began an opulent life, of which it acquired some properties, and Ferraris coverall. He was an admirer of Enzo Ferrari by the form in which it maintained his company, but always had a difficulty: Lamborghini always had mechanical problems with its cars. Once, tired to have to support these incovenientes, it established a conversation with he himself Commendatore that happened to history.

According to he himself Lamborghini the Ferraris “to only created problems me. A day, already very to send them to the factory I called to Enzo to say to him that their cars were pure sweepings. And it answered to me that a manufacturer of tractors could not understand his cars”. From this peculiar discussion, iracundo proprietor began to maquinar the idea to make sport automobiles to compete with the mark of the Cavallino Rampante.

In 1961 in the locality of Saint Agata Bolognese, closely together of the houses of Ferrari and Maserati, it opened to its doors the Lamborghini Automobili. In 1964 Ferrucio it constructed thirteen of its new 350 GT; from that model the 400 GT and the Miura were derived, powerful bolide that competed directly with the Ferrari Daytona. But under his hands Lamborghini Automobili never it could arise economically, finding numerous difficulties in the way. Many of them product of its commercial rivals, among them obvious Ferrari. It would be possible to be said that all the legal pressures and ruses were used to command to a company to the bankruptcy. Thus, in 1970 Lamborghini it sold his factory soon to go away to his property of Panicarola to dedicate itself to his vineyards until the moment of his death in 1993.

Lamborghini never could be at economic, logistic, technical nor sport a level with respect to its direct competitors Ferrari or Porsche until today, since no of its later owners could turn it a great manufacturer. In spite of it, Lamborghini could send to market as exquisite models as the Miura, the Countach, the Devil or the novel Bat, that are been at the level of Ferraris like the Daytona or the F40



Falsification of Ferraris





The product contraband and falsification were one of the first activities of the modern commerce, as old as the commerce in himself. Literally “the ideas of the original manufacturers rob” and remove coarse (and others not as much) copies from these devices, although by the side of the buyer, this can mean the acquisition of an object wished to an accessible price. All type of apparatuses were victims of this vejamen, but when in Italy a band was discovered that constructed to copies of automobiles Ferrari, was arrived at scandal levels.

In 1993, the Italian police discovered in Módena all a network of falsifiers of Ferrari, specially of the old models, the most looked for by the collectors. The secrecy is strange “effective” from this factory which they were to few kilometers of the first house of Ferrari, in Maranello. A specialistic technician was in charge of the design of the motors, whereas another one was in charge of the body, to the pure style of the artisan houses of cars of century principles.

Although it seems lie, Ferraris to diveros European countries and the United States had been sold more than 40. The company, as prosperous as illegal, had to its disposition an amount every greater time of employees, than, when seeing itself discovered by the police, they undertook quick race towards not known destinies. Although falsifications in short, of a whole mechanical feat is the constructed salary Ferraris almost to similarity the original versions, but obvious these “almost jewels” had to be destroyed, many of them on the verge of embarking towards the destiny of the buyer.

Finally, it is important to differentiate a restaurador from a falsifier. Of that revive an original relic to the one of the other that it obtains with a false device, whose buyers probably are accomplices when acquiring knowing it their dark origin, or simply was people swindled by this unpublished Mafia.




The Cavallino Rampante


The symbol of the Cavallino Rampante, that shows a horse in two legs and the head watching at the horizon, goes back until 1923, when Enzo Ferrari still was owner, constructor, and pilot of its equipment.

When winning Enzo in the circuit of Savio, close to the city of Ravenna, Italy, countess Condesa Paolina offered the heráldico shield to him that his son like aviator in World War I used, of name Francesco Baracca. This one aviator had demolished 34 German machines during the war, before being lowered. Paradoxicalally, the shield had taken it from one of its enemy airplanes, a horse with the same description and carries which we know him the mark of Maranello.

Although the offer of the countess towards the Commendatore became in 1923, it was not but until 1946 when the first Ferrari of street took logotipo. Enzo Ferrari worked for Alpha Romeo from 1929 preparing its cars to 1938, under a clause of not demoninar the Ferrari name to the cars of Enzo by following the four years. World War II prolonged the delay until in eight years, and since then the today marks of the Cavallino Rampante has reached the prestige and the fanaticism of million fans and its happy proprietors.



More to come.........

 

PECULIAR THINGS ...............


Like custom, Michael Schumacher gives to Jean Todt his helmet to him whenever he and Ferrari gain the Championship of the World of Formula 1.

According to the Unit of Sport Statistic of the University of Swinburne, Michael Schumacher the 19,5% of possibilities of winning of the GP of Australia of the 2004; in addition, the Championship of the World has 36% of possibilities of gaining by sétima time. Ferrari, has the 44,9% of possibilities to obtain the Championship of Constructors.

In 1995, the 2000, 2001 and 2002 British magazine Autosport named to Michael Schumacher like the “Better Pilot the International”.

In the 2001, the American Automobile Magazine named Luca Di Montezemolo, president of Ferrari, like “the Man of the Year”.

Ferrari could not win to a jeweler in a judgment by presumed plagiarism of this one by the commercialization of a pendant with the figure of a horse very similar to the logo of the mark.

Thanks for history.

Only one cochair, to complete your totally complete story already.

When Enzo decided to leave alpha, it did it because as usually it is said commonly “it cannot have two roosters in a same hen house”. In this case the second rooster, that in this case it had more influence and power than Enzo fué an old one known our Wilfredo Ricart that years later, to its exit of romeo alpha, returned to Spain and created the wonderful range of sport automóbiles the Pegaso Z102.

On Villeneruve to only say that that has never seen a recording of its pilotage cannot understand so that it became a myth. I was very young when she died, but have seen images of Villeneuve advancing by the outside in an enormous curve rights, not to a dubbing but to that led the race. The advancement lasts about 4 seconds that become ether to us, and the uncle holds, he holds and he holds without letting accelerate and in the end eats it. Memorable.

By something he was the favorite pilot of Enzo.

greetings

Ferrari 125 S




A car with a special history: she is the first Ferrari. In addition, it is the car that gave the first victory him in an official competition. This one was in the Great Prize of Rome of 1947.

A V12 motor of 1496 cc, able one to give 118 HP, initiated the magnificent history of triumphs of the Scudería. And it is that although this one car never was produced for the sale the public in general (first just it was made in 1948), calmly could be, by his exquisitez shown in his design, a total success.




Ferrari 159 S



S, created in 1947 is the first Ferrari constructed along with the 125. This car has a V12 motor of 1903 cc able one to grant 125 7000 HP to rpm, something little common for the modern canons if we took into account that a common and current V12 has at least more of the capacity double.

The 159 S, fact for the competition, has a manual gear box of five speeds and later traction. The brakes of drum controlled hydraulically allow a good final performance if we took into account that is a car of more than 65 years of antiquity (also helped by the 750 kilos of weight). And more than what this one bolide can give in the track, the 159 the most important legacy of S can be seen in the thousands of Ferraris that was made in the following years.

__________________

Thanks for history.

Only one thing, to complete your totally complete story already.

When Enzo decided to leave alpha, it did it because as usually it is said commonly “it cannot have two roosters in a same hen house”. In this case the second rooster, that in this case it had more influence and power than Enzo fué an old one known our Wilfredo Ricart that years later, to its exit of romeo alpha, returned to Spain and created the wonderful range of sport automóbiles the Pegaso Z102.

On Villeneruve to only say that that has never seen a recording of its pilotage cannot understand so that it became a myth. I was very young when she died, but have seen images of Villeneuve advancing by the outside in an enormous curve rights, not to a dubbing but to that led the race. The advancement lasts about 4 seconds that become ether to us, and the uncle holds, he holds and he holds without letting accelerate and in the end eats it. Memorable.

By something he was the favorite pilot of Enzo.

greetings

All ferraris. Agarraros that comes curve ..........


Ferrari 125 S




A car with a special history: she is the first Ferrari. In addition, it is the car that gave the first victory him in an official competition. This one was in the Great Prize of Rome of 1947.

A V12 motor of 1496 cc, able one to give 118 HP, initiated the magnificent history of triumphs of the Scudería. And it is that although this one car never was produced for the sale the public in general (first just it was made in 1948), calmly could be, by his exquisitez shown in his design, a total success.




Ferrari 159 S



S, created in 1947 is the first Ferrari constructed along with the 125. This car has a V12 motor of 1903 cc able one to grant 125 7000 HP to rpm, something little common for the modern canons if we took into account that a common and current V12 has at least more of the capacity double.

The 159 S, fact for the competition, has a manual gear box of five speeds and later traction. The brakes of drum controlled hydraulically allow a good final performance if we took into account that is a car of more than 65 years of antiquity (also helped by the 750 kilos of weight). And more than what this one bolide can give in the track, the 159 the most important legacy of S can be seen in the thousands of Ferraris that was made in the following years. In this is the special magic of the first cars that left artisan form of the house of Maranello



FERRARI 166 MILLE MIGLIA


One of the first models of the mark, the 166 Mille Miglia was constructed in 1948, only a year after the official creation of the Ferrari company. Like all the first cars that left the factory of Maranello, it has a V12 motor of 1995 cc of two valves by cylinder, in this case has a power of 140 6600 HP to rpm. The power of this car supported hydraulic brakes to it of drum to the four wheels.

It weighed 650 kilos hardly, doing it a frightful rival in whichever competition was, specially in the Mille Miglia where Ferrari won more of once Ferrari 166 Inter


One of the first cars constructed by Ferrari. Produced between 1948 and 1950, the second car of street (in antiquity) of the mark of Maranello is considered him. Their lines, very simple but simultaneously harmonious, even reflect resurging of a company almost devastated by World War II before this one existed like so. An unpublished motor for our times, a V12 of 1995 cc of 110 HP. On the inside, the suspension and brakes have not varied with respect to the first models of the mark: front independent suspension and brakes of drum to the four wheels.

The manual gear box of five speeds explodes to the maximum to the motor, that take to this relic to a terminal velocity of 170 km/h. With these first cars, Ferrari began to outside gain a prestige already of the circuits
Ferrari 166 S


Although at first dista much of that they are the Ferraris modern, the 166 S is the precursor of the cavallinos of competition. Rpm has a V12 motor of 1995 cc able one to give 110 6000 HP to, being this one one of the less powerful cars made by the house.

Participant and winner of diverse competitions, 166 Ferrari S represents of worthy form the sprouting of the best mark of sport of the world
Ferrari 195 S


A car done for the the 195 competitions S, is the first Ferrari of the Fifties that leave the house of Maranello. It has a V12 motor of 2341 cc that grants 170 7000 HP to rpm.

With an independent front suspension and brakes of hydraulic drum to the four wheels, they do easy to control the 720 kilos of weight of this car, that is one of the precursors of the multiple jewels that Ferrari would give to the world in the following decades
Ferrari 340 America


It was the second year of Formula 1 and Ferrari already had made sure a name thanks to Alberto Ascari, one of his more legendary pilots. In these circumstances, America is born the 340. A model produced in very small scale (only 8 units) between 1951 and 1952.

It had 195 such elements of 166 and, but the motor brutally was improved: a V12 of 4101 cc able to reach the 220 HP. This brutal machine of principles of the fifty could take to his moved conductor to the 240 km/h. A car of street with evidently competitive aims

The Ferrari 195 Inter, is an improved version of his predecessor, the 166. Although the elemetos of the suspension and brakes are such, the motor if sensibly it were improved. The V12 of 60 degrees raised its piston displacement 2341 cc, elevating in addition its power until the 130 HP. Its 100 end speed is of 192 km/h and accelerated from 0 to km/h in 9.9 ".

Externally the 195 Inter did not have many changes with respect to the 166 Inter. Perhaps it is for that reason that between 1950 and 1952 the sale of units of the new version was smaller to the one of its predecessor (27 195s against 36 166s). It is peculiar, but we spoke of a difference of 12 cars, when in these times the great marks speak of a few million


Between 1951 and 1952, the 212 Ferrari Inter was the maximum icon of the house of Maranello. And although he did not present/display the most powerful motor (the 340 America had 220 HP against the 150 the 212 HP of Inter), presented/displayed the first changes that revolutionized the mark when presenting/displaying an independent suspension to the four wheels.

In 1952, an superimproved version of the already famous 340 is created America. For pride of the Aztec town, one of the Ferrari most powerful of principles of the fifty takes like Mexico name. The motor is a V12 of 60 degrees and 4101 cc, of 280 impressive the 280 HP able to arrive at km/h.

The independent front suspension and the brakes of hydraulic drum did of this, authentic a pure blood. With aggressive lines, the appearance of the car is than spectacular more after where it is watched to him, being a perfect accomplice for the powerful motor





Ferrari 250 S




The 250 S was created on the basis of the 212 Export (the body is the same one), but the heart of the motor sensibly was modified: It had a powerful V12 motor of 2953 cc and 230 HP, whose effect was the incredible end speed for the time: 250 km/h.

With this car, Giovanni Bracco gains the victory in the Mille Miglia of the 1952, giving rise to one of the most beautiful models done by Ferrari, the 250 Mille Miglia. In addition, this bolide participated in the 24 Hours of Him Mans with Ascari and Villoresi. One of most successful of its time




Ferrari 250 Mille Miglia




1952 ran and Ferrari prepared a competition car, a revolution that participated in Him Mans and the Mille Miglia. Thus, in the Hall the Automobile of Paris of that year, he was expected new the 250. But for deception of all, it is car was not presented/displayed. In fact, the fans only could be present at some parts of the chassis and the motor.

In the Hall Geneva of 1953, finally the car appeared altogether. A car of very smooth lines, as much that it seemed that all the body had form of armor of turtle with an impressive blower pipe in the front part for the radiator. This strange design, differs totally from which has in its interior. A powerful V12 with three carburetors Webber and 3,0 liters of capacity, grants 240 HP, reason why an expert suggests itself who can tame this car. With the rudder to the right, the changes and the clutch are very necessary and it requires itself of much practice not to have problems with the transmission. The prize to the effort km/h is the 250 that this car can reach. Definitively, a jewel Ferrari of the beginnings of the fifty

Ferrari 225 S




This hybrid model between the 212 and the 250, only came to the light 21 units, all facts in 1952. Like all Ferrari of the fifty, it counted on to V12 motor of 60 degrees and 2715 cc of piston displacement, with to power of 210 HP.

In the others, the elements plows such to the one of to their predecessor: the suspension, independent in the front part and to system Of Dion in the back part, and its brakes of hydraulic drum in the four wheels. And in the same way that the 625 TF, was only constructed three units in 1953





Ferrari 625 TF



This Ferrari, is totally different from the one from his pairs of the Time (1953). And there am is that in fact, there am contradicts the custom of the V12 with four cylinders front in line longitudinal On guard of 2498 cc and 220 HP.

Ace well ace its suspension, independent in the front part and to system Of Dion in the back part, and to their brakes of hydraulic drum in the four wheels, give to understand of to this real jewel. And ace all jewel must be coveted, to Ferrari it was only happened to him to produces three units of this model
