...Company background: Ferrari S.p.A. is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, Italy. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929, as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving into production of street-legal vehicles as Ferrari S.p.A. in 1947. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has had great success. Ferrari road cars are generally seen as a symbol of luxury and wealth. Enzo Ferrari wasn't initially interested in the idea of producing road cars when he formed Scuderia Ferrari (literally "Ferrari Stable", and usually used to mean "Team Ferrari", it is correctly pronounced [skudeˈriːa]) in 1928 as a sponsor for amateur drivers headquartered in Modena. Ferrari prepared, and successfully raced, various drivers in Alfa Romeo cars until 1938, when he was hired by Alfa Romeo to head their motor racing department. In 1941, Alfa Romeo was confiscated by the fascist government of Benito Mussolini as part of the Axis Powers' war effort. Enzo Ferrari's division was small enough to be unaffected by this. Because he was prohibited by contract from racing for four years, the Scuderia briefly became Auto Avio Costruzioni Ferrari, which ostensibly produced machine tools and aircraft accessories. Also known as SEFAC (Scuderia Enzo Ferrari Auto Corse), Ferrari did in fact produce one race car, the Tipo 815, in the non-competition period. It was the first...

...! Alec Robinson Mr. Blake English 2 October 23, 2012 Introduction to Formula 1 Robinson 1 Ever since I was a young boy, racing, cars, speed and design have always interested me. I use to love looking in magazines at the latest Ferrari’s and other exotic sports cars. To me cars are like a big piece of artwork. One can express and relate oneself to a car and how it is designed. Every single little detail on the car adds to the entire piece of artwork. If one line shall be wrong, then the whole car will look wrong. I think of a car, as a big painting. For example, if that I draw an ear too big or an arm a hair too short, the whole painting will be ruined. Same rule apply’s when you are designing a car. This is why Formula 1 interests me so much. One being that the cars can go at an unheard of speeds, two being that it is a race to see who is the best driver on the track, and 3 being that the cars have a very unique design that makes them go as fast as possible. The danger that occurs when racing these cars at these very high speeds fascinates me very much, and how if a driver makes a single mistake, big or small, they’re life can be taken away from them in a split second. Not that death interests me, but more for say the skill and technique used to maneuver and drive these amazing pieces of automotive art....

...is made by Ferrari. Ferrari has always been a symbol of speed and prestige as well as elegance. It has even been described as a ‘passion on wheels’. Owning a Ferrari means that you have arrived in style. Only the very rich can even dream of owning a Ferrari. The Ferrari motorcar company is the brainchild of Enzo Ferrari, an Italian who started his career as a small carmaker. The 125 Sport was the first ever Ferrari motorcar. Enzo Ferrari did not intend to build road cars, when he formed the Scuderia Ferrari in 1929. After World War I, Ferrari became a driver on the Alfa-Romeo team. Following a victory at Ravenna, the family of Francesco Baracca, presented him with a small charred plaque. Baracca had died in combat and the plaque was one of the parts of the Ferrari emblem. The Ferrari emblem with a yellow shield with a black horse in the middle is recognized across the world of automobile fanatics. This prancing horse became the symbol of Ferrari and it appeared on all the cars he drove. Ferrari automobiles have been featured in many films and television shows. The Ferrari 250 was in the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off driven by Matthew Broderick, the Ferrari 512 driven by Steven McQueen was in the 1971 film Le Mans, the Ferrari Mondial was in 1985 movie Weird Science driven by John Hughes, the Ferrari Daytona appeared in the Miami Vice television shows, driven by Don Johnson, and a replica of the Ferrari F430 was used in the Pixar movie Cars.

The golden masterpiece will shoot you from 0-60 miles per hour in only three seconds flat, achieving a top speed of 211 miles per hour. It runs on a V8 engine, and is decorated in accents of gold fit only for royalty. Priced only for royalty, too, as this dream racer is priced at $9.4 million.

Today, it is sold for $16.4 million.Number One: 1962 Ferrari 25 GTO. Much like the Testa Rossa, this classic beauty is prized for its historical value and sublime design.

...of individuals. For example, the car manufacturing companies Audi and Mercedes tend to aim their ads towards individuals seeking luxury and come from a better socio-economic status. While companies like Honda and Toyota direct their ads and marketing more to families. Audi has created a series of commercials that aim to sell their vehicles to those who categorize themselves within their ads, and use psychological motivations in their attempts. Watching several of the commercials Audi has to offer, one of the best examples of audience selection comes from "The Spell" (Spreafico, 2010). In the ad, Audi uses different groups and targets each distinctively. The first person is a kid of about ten years old who is staring at a poster of a Ferrari Italia. The second person is a woman in her mid 30's standing next to a Lexus vehicle. The next two actors to come up are two males who walk towards their Mercedes vehicles. After the two males, there is a senior couple with golfing equipment also standing next to a Lexus vehicle. Finally, there is a middle-aged couple that is standing next to a mansion and a BMW vehicle. It is important to understand what groups of people the characters in the ad attempt to attract because we can see what motivations are used. By starting off with the child in the ad, Audi attempts to achieve what the kid says by coming back to him at the end. The female that follows is standing next to an SUV in front of a soccer field and targets the mothers watching...

...Ferrari Business Strategy International Organizations Enzo Ferrari founded Ferrari in 1929, born out of Modena, Italy under the name Scuderia Ferrari, translated literally as ‘Ferrari Stable’; it was originally set up as a sponsor for amateur drivers and manufacturer of racing cars. In its early days Ferrari used to prepare and race drivers in Alfa Romeo cars up until 1938, Enzo Ferrari was then hired by Alfa Romeo to head their motor racing department. The early 1940’s saw the arrival of The War in Italy and as a result Alfa Romeo was taken over by the fascist government of Mussolini in order to aid the war effort. Due to contract restrictions Enzo was restricted from racing cars for four years and for a short while Scuderia Ferrari became Auto Avio Costruzioni Ferrari; it was during this time the first Ferrari was produced, the Tipo 815. In 1943 the Ferrari factory moved to Maranello where it remains until this day, the factory was, however, bombed in 1944 and rebuilt a few years later, this time to include a division for the production of road cars although due to funding only the racing department was functional. Ferrari officially moved into the production of street legal vehicles in 1947 as Ferrari sPa, a joint stock company, it was during the same year that the first Ferrari road car was produced, the 125 S.

...the simplest level, they are a small group of people who’ve worked together over a period of time… not a team, not a task force, not necessarily an authorized or identified group…They are peers in the execution of ‘real work’. What holds them together is a common sense of purpose and a real need to know what the other knows”. Aged barely 20, Ferrari spent much of his time frequenting the Bar de Nord on Turin's Ports Nuova, getting to know people and making connections. He aimed at creating trust, fashion, roles, and maximising the joint product of personal relationships within his small groups of peers, interacting informally out of the shop floor. Sharing and learning in the cafe, even playing cards rather than playing by business cards in the meetings: this was a common trait to the founders – in most cases, blue collars and technicians – of small companies in Italy. Throughout the 1920's Ferrari spent a lot of time judiciously creating his commercial and engineering connections. He also began surrounding himself with a group of close collaborators, including Gioacchino Colombo - the man who would eventually design the first Ferrari car after masterminding the Alpha 158s under Ferrari's patronage - and former Fiat technician Luigi Bazzi, a man who would survive into the 1960's as possibly Enzo's longest-standing lieutenant, having originally joined him in 1923. Bazzi had joined Alfa Romeo as long ago as 1922 after a spell in Fiat's experimental department, and would...

...The history of Ferrari In my opinion, Ferrari is one of the greatest auto company in the world. Ferrari was established in 1929 by Enzo Ferrari. At first, Enzo Ferrari was not interested in the idea of producing road cars when he formed Scuderia Ferrari. It is very difficult in the first few years. After the second war of the world. In 1947, Ferrari built its own automobile factory to produce the first car for general road driving--Ferrari 125s. And a lot of cars are produced in the next few years. Ferrari got many champions in car contests by these cars. It made Ferrari to be a great auto company. Most of the Ferrari car are handmade, so the production is very low. Unfortunately, the low production and sale are difficult to support the huge overhead of racing team, Ferrari often get in economic problems. However, due to the high reputation of Ferrari, many times to win honors for Italian, Ferrari has become a representative image of the Italian automotive industry. So Ferrari got the help from FIAT. Ford Motor Company was interested in buying Ferrari. But Enzo Ferrari refused. In 1969 Ferrari agreed to be bought by FIAT, and the condition is FIAT shall not influence its racing activities in the future. As a comparison Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini both be sold to Germany. Ferrari insisted on and become the pride of Italy. The philosophy of Ferrari Enzo Ferrari said the best car of Ferrari always be the next one. Constant pursuit of success is Ferrari’s philosophy.
