This should definitively answer your question: http://www.hilavitkutin.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/hello-kitty-ferrari_testa_rossa.jpg
Nice joke Please answer me because it is very important for us. What is the original color, red or yellow?
Red is the traditional Grand Prix/ Formula 1 Race car color for Italy. Yellow represents the color for Modena, Italy here Enzo started his business.
So, can we say yellow is the traditional color of Ferrari? I knew that yellow represents Modena, but does it represent Ferrari?
I would say red, but NOT Rosso Corsa. The Scuderia Ferrari Alfa Romeos and the early Ferraris were a darker red, close to the color now known as Rosso Barchetta. I think that Rosso Corsa became the color of choice in the early 50's.
RED Grab ANY Ferrari book and count the number of reds to any other color Otter red on the head like a d_ck on a dog!!!
Red might be the most sold color, doesn't make it official or whatever. There is not "real" color for ferrari road cars. Red is only the italian traditional motorsport color, like the green for UK.
Team Cars no. Customer Race Cars? Yes. Official Show cars? Yes. The First car badged as a Ferrari was Red.
I knew that Ferrari's traditional color is red, but a group of friend of mine insists on yellow. Can you give me a resource about traditional color of Ferrari's?
I mean traditional, real is the wrong word, u r right. I read an article long time ago and the author said that yellow is the official color of Lambo and red is the official color of Ferrari. Is that true?
No, that is NOT true. The first cars that Scuderia Ferrari raced were red (they were Alfa Romeos, actually) simply because red was the traditional racing color of Italy. When he built and raced his own cars, they were red for the same reason. Cars sold to racing customers were whatever color that customer wanted them to be, sometimes sticking with the traditional national racing colors (yellow for Belgium, green for the UK, etc.), sometimes not. When Ferrari began producing road cars in the late 1940s and well into the late 1960s, they were painted a variety of colors and NOT predominantly red. Red became the color of choice for Ferrari buyers in the 1970s. Of course, red is still the team colors of the Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 racing team but yellow is the color of the company's logo - representing the town of Modena, as someone else noted. The first Lamborghini was blue: Image Unavailable, Please Login
If you want to know Ferrari's traditional, original color choice, then Jim Pernikoff has your answer: Before any Ferrari was liveried in Rosso Corsa, they were lightly covered in a dark red. As has already been mentioned, yellow is the color of the city of Modena, where Ferrari first started, so that is why Giallo Modena is a popular color among contemporary models.
At the factory they say that the original racing color for Ferrari is represented by their current Rosso Barchetta.
Not untill the Francochamp days. Back in the day it had nothing to do with the manufacturer, it had everything to do with the country of origin. Italy = Red (not Rosso Corsa ) France= Blue (that is why Bugati's of old were blue. They were built in France not Italy. Untill the resurgerance in the 80's) England = crappy green. LOL. I like green but the british racing green is horrible. Belgium=Yellow US= white (but then became a blue but darker than frances' blue, hence NART cars. Ferrari's but they were mostly blue. Sometimes white, sometimes white and blue. ) So the color for Ferrari is red due to the fact that first and foremost Ferrari is a racing company. Since it is an Italian racing company it is red. The red was not Rosso Corsa as it is today but a much darker red. A red I like. It was in the 50's that Ferrari changed it to Rosso Corsa because on a color TV the car looks almost orange so it stands out from other cars. So to fine tune the answer the REAL color of Ferrari is Rosso Corsa as this was unique to Ferrari since color TV days. I hope that helps. Unfortuneatly I do not have links to sources.
Nice to meet you again.Is it red (rosso corsa) or yellow (giallo)? ______________________________ floating tanks hgh
There is no official color but they say the yellow showed in the prancing horse emblem could be considered Ferrari's official color since it symbolizes the town of Modena, Italy.
There is no true "official" color, because Ferraris were intended to be race cars, therefore the colors would always indicate the nationality of the car's ownership (rather than the driver or marque.) Here is the list of traditional colors, although one must remember that since the 1950s, teams have been choosing their own colors to differentiate themselves from local competitors, such as BMC (Austin Mini, MG, Healey) choosing Tartan Red instead of British Racing Green (Jaguar, Triumph...) And there are countries which have adopted different colors, like German manufacturers, which all race in Silver now -- a tradition since the triumph of the Silver Arrows. Since after WWII, American teams have raced in any of the red, white and blue schemes. Additionally, companies played with shades of the traditional color to stick out (and modernize). Aston Martin has been Apple Green since the David Brown era, while as many have pointed out, the original darker red of Alfa and Ferrari morphed into a brighter red as louder paint colors started being stylish in the 1950s and 1960s.

This is 100% true, Ive heard and red it many places: Rossa Corsa is the racng color for Italy (as white is for Germany and dark green is for Britain). Gaillo is the official Ferrari color. If I wanted to feel like I had the official color I would pick the Rossa. -Ray
Research it. Yellow was Ferrari’s “chosen” color. He didn’t pick red - Italy picked red. The color of his stable - and chosen stable was yellow - evidenced by the S F Yellow “badges” and later emblem of Ferrari.
