Italian luxury car maker Ferrari is one of the biggest and most luxurious car brands not only in Italy but all over the world. It is also considered a symbol of style and status. Not many people know, but Ferrari is one of the few companies in the world that has never made an SUV car till date. And it wouldn’t be wrong to say that there is every chance that an SUV will never be seen from Ferrari. Other companies in the company’s competition are Lamborghini, Maserati, Porsche, Bentley, where they have entered the SUV market, but still Ferrari from the last 70 years only in the ‘racing car’ format. It’s just connected. Like the SUV, there is every possibility of Ferrari never making a four-door sedan, which has been entrusted to the company’s corporate partners Maserati and their Quattroporte/Ghibli. Similarly, there are many such interesting things about Ferrari, which people usually do not know.
Let us know 10 such interesting things about Ferrari.
1. Customization as per your wish
What many people don’t know about Ferrari is that customers can customize any element/part of a Ferrari as per their wish. According to the company’s ‘Taylor Made’ program, customers can get every component of the car installed in the car at their will. This includes everything from the exterior to the interior of the car. This work takes place at the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy.
2. Ferrari logo inspired by World War I pilot
The inspiration for Ferrari’s running horse logo came from Francesco Baracca, an Italian pilot in World War I who died in an action in 1918. In 1923 Enzo Ferrari met the Count and Countess Baraca, parents of Francesco Baraca. He suggested Enzo Ferrari to use his late son’s ‘processing horse’ for the logo of his car, which Enzo Ferrari accepted. The company later included a yellow shield in their car’s logo in honor of Enzo’s hometown of Modena. This is how the company got its logo.
3. Stake in Ferrari
Not many people know, but Ferrari is no longer a family based company. In 1969, Enzo Ferrari sold 50% of his company to Fiat Group, another Italian automaker. Then, just before his death in 1988, Enzo Ferrari and his son Piero Ferrari sold further shares of the company. As of today, the Ferrari family holds only 10% of the company’s shares.
