Articles on Ferrari

Ferrari S.p.A. is an Italian automaker that specializes in luxury sports cars. Founded in 1939 as a tuner of Alfa Romeo, Ferrari released its first car right after WW2. It came under the control of Fiat over the decades and became an independent public company in 2016.

Ferrari is best known for its grand touring cars and its racing heritage, notably in Formula 1. Its vehicles had long been exceptionally elegant and, whereas Bugatti was the favorite of aristocrats prior to WW2, Ferrari became what celebrities and wealthy people would drive since the 1960s. More recently, however, Ferrari cars became more "aggressive" and lost some of the elegance that Italian sports cars were known for.
