Enzo Ferrari was not initially interested in the idea of producing road cars when he formed Scuderia Ferrari in 1929, with headquarters in Modena. Scuderia Ferrari literally means “Ferrari Stable” and is usually used to mean “Team Ferrari.” Ferrari bought, prepared, and fielded Alfa Romeo racing cars for gentleman drivers, functioning as the racing division of Alfa Romeo.
In 1940, Ferrari produced a racing car – the Tipo 815, based on a Fiat platform. It was the first Ferrari car and debuted at the 1940 Mille Miglia, but due to World War II, it saw little competition. In 1943, the Ferrari factory moved to Maranello, where it has remained ever since.
Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it is the oldest and most successful racing team, holding the most constructors’ championships and having produced the highest number of drivers’ championship wins. Ferrari road cars are generally seen as a symbol of speed, luxury and wealth. Ferrari cars are built at the 165,000 square-metre (16.5-hectare) Maranello factory. In 2014 Ferrari was rated the world’s most powerful brand by Brand Finance. As of 2021, Ferrari is the 10th-largest car manufacturer by market capitalisation, with $52.21 billion.

Ferrari Laferrari
LaFerrari is currently the fastest Ferrari in the world and it has quite a number of interesting and exquisite features. The LaFerrari was introduced in 2013 and it’s called the most ambitious project Ferrari.
The LaFerrari is an exotic sports car which is powered by an electric motor, it is a hybrid car.
Laferrari Interior
As expected, the interior of the LaFerrari is custom-made due to its exorbitant price. So you get to choose the kind of seats you’ll like to have.
The LaFerrari has no ignition key, you don’t have to turn a key to get the car started, nor do you have to press a button as we have in most cars today. For the LaFerrari, you swipe to start. Just the way you swipe your phone or tablet screens, you swipe a designated part of the steering wheel to start the LaFerrari.
There’s also a little nice space where you can slot in the key while you drive.
Like every other sports car, the LaFerrari has a seating capacity for just two passengers and there is little or no interior space where you can put stuff. This is expected because it’s a sports car, not an SUV.
Laferrari Exterior
The exterior of the LaFerrari speaks class as it comes in an ultramodern design with ‘massive’ grills in front and behind.
Being a hybrid car, there’s a charging port and a petrol tank.
