Ferrari – from the name of its founder, Enzo Ferrari. 

Ferrari  is an Italian luxury sports car manufacturer based in Maranello. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1939 out of Alfa Romeo's race division as Auto Avio Costruzioni, the company built its first car in 1940. However, the company's inception as an auto manufacturer is usually recognized in 1947, when the first Ferrari-badged car was completed.

 

Headquarters: Maranello, Italy

512 bb  1973-1984

The Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer (BB) is series of sports cars produced by Ferrari in Italy between 1973 and 1984. The BB was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina. The first BB model, the 365 GT4 BB, replaced the front engined Daytona and was the first in a series of road-going Ferraris equipped with a mid-mounted flat-twelve engine. It was also the first mid-engined road-car to bear the Ferrari name and the Cavallino Rampante (prancing horse) logo. The 365 GT4 BB was succeeded in 1976 by the BB 512, equipped with a larger displacement engine, then by the fuel-injected BB 512i in 1981. The series was discontinued in 1984 when the BB 512i was replaced by the Testarossa, which used a revised version of the flat-twelve engine.

The production version of the 365 GT4 BB was introduced in 1973 and coincided with the 1973 oil crisis, and as a result initial demand was low. Ferrari initially planned a limited production run of only 25 cars. Production began slowly, with only two dozen cars constructed during the first year of production. Demand gradually increased and later cars were produced at the rate of one per day. In total, 387 examples were built between 1973 and 1976, making it the rarest of all Berlinetta Boxer models.

The 365 GT4 BB was replaced by the BB 512 (also known as the 512 BB) in 1976. The name 512 referred to the car's 5 litre, 12 cylinder engine, resurrecting the name of the earlier Ferrari 512 racer. This was a deviation from Ferrari's established practice of naming 12-cylinder road cars (as the 365 BB) after their individual cylinder displacement. The new model was first shown to the public in 1976.

The Tipo F102 B engine was enlarged to 4943 cc. Ferrari sales brochures claimed a peak power output of 360 bhp.

929 examples of the BB 512 were produced between 1976 and 1981.

The BB 512i (also known as the 512 BBi) was introduced in 1981 and was the last of the series. The Tipo F110 A engine now incorporated Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection. Claimed peak power output was 340 bhp, making the BB 512i the least powerful model in the series.

1007 examples of the BB 512i were produced between 1981 and 1984.

512 tr  1984-1996

The Ferrari Testarossa (Type F110) is a 12-cylinder mid-engine sports car manufactured by Ferrari, which went into production in 1984 as the successor to the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer. The Pininfarina-designed car was originally produced from 1984 until 1991, with two model revisions following the end of Testarossa production called the 512 TR and F512 M, which were produced from 1992 until 1996. Including revised variations, almost 10,000 cars in total were produced, making it at the time one of the most mass-produced Ferrari models.

The Testarossa is a two-door coupé that premiered at the 1984 Paris Auto Show. All versions of the Testarossa were available with a rear-mounted, five-speed manual transmission. The rear mid-engine design (engine between the axles but behind the cabin) keeps the centre of gravity in the middle of the car, which increases stability and improves the car's cornering ability.

The original Testarossa was re-engineered for the 1992 model year and was introduced as the 512 TR (TR meaning TestaRossa). The Testarossa name paid homage to the famed World Sportscar Championship winner 1957 250 Testa Rossa sports racing car. Testa Rossa, which literally means "red head" in Italian, refers to the red-painted cam covers sported by both cars' 12-cylinder engines.

The Testarossa has a naturally aspirated 4.9 L longitudinally-mounted, Tipo F113 flat-12 engine. The engine has DOHC 4 valves per cylinder (48 valves in total) and is lubricated via a dry sump system. Maximum power is 390 PS. The Testarossa can accelerate  from 0–100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and on to 161 km/h in 11.4 seconds.

288 gto  1984-1987

The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO) (Type F114) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 until 1987 in Ferrari's Maranello factory, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologata (homologated in Italian).

The 288 GTO had started out as a modified version of the 308/328 to hold down costs and to build the car quickly, but little of the 308/328 was left when the 288 GTO was finished. Fortunately Ferrari could count on customers who were loyal when it came to spending more if they could access performance and style that was unmatched, so the unplanned deviation from the original cost targets did not necessarily prove an issue.

The "288" refers to the GTO's 2.8 litre 4 valves per cylinder V8 engine as it used a de-bored by 1 mm with IHI twin-turbochargers, Behr air-to-air intercoolers, Weber-Marelli fuel injection. The 2.85 litre engine capacity was dictated by the FIA's requirement for a turbocharged engine's capacity to be multiplied by 1.4. This gave the GTO an equivalent engine capacity of 3,997 cc, just under the Group B limit of 4.0 litres.

The GTO could accelerate from 0-100 km/h in around 5 seconds and Ferrari claimed 0-200 km/h in 15 seconds flat and a top speed of 304 km/h, making it one of the fastest street-legal production cars of its time.

ferrari 456gt  1992-2003

The Ferrari 456 and 456M (Type F116) are front-engine grand tourers which were produced by Ferrari from 1992 to 2003. The 456 was a replacement for the front-engine 412 as the company's V12-powered four seater. The updated 456M, which was the last Ferrari model to use pop-up headlamps, was replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti.

Pietro Camardella designed the original 456 Grand Tourer at Pininfarina. It was available in GT and (from 1996) GTA models. The former has a six-speed manual, and the latter has a four-speed automatic.

The 5.5 L V12 engine was derived from the Dino V6 rather than the more conventional 60° V12s used in the 412 and Daytona. It is rated at 442 PS, with 4 valves per cylinder and Bosch Motronic M2.7 engine management. Ferrari claims it could push the 1690 kg car to a top speed of 309 km/h, making it the world's second fastest production four-seater automobile behind the Porsche 959. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 4.9 seconds.

The name 456 is derived from the fact that each cylinder displaces 456 cubic centimeters.

The total production of the 456 amounted to 3,289 units.

f355 spider 1994-1999

The Ferrari F355 (Type F129) is a sports car manufactured by Italian car manufacturer Ferrari produced from May 1994 to 1999. The car is a heavily revised Ferrari 348 with notable exterior and performance changes. The F355 was succeeded by the all-new Ferrari 360 in 1999.

Displacement of the V8 increased from 3.4 L to 3.5 L and got a 5-valve cylinder head.

Generating a maximum power output of 380 PS it accelerates from 0–100 km/h 4.7 seconds and gives the car a top speed of 295 km/h.

The F355 Spider debuted in 1995, its Pininfarina-penned lines honed by 1800 hours in the wind tunnel, resulted in a blend of elegant style and aerodynamic performance. For the first time on a Ferrari automobile, the automated manual soft-top was powered electronically. The Spider proved to be the second-most popular F355 model, with a total production of 3717 units, of which 2664 were produced with the 6-speed manual transmission and 1053 were produced with the F1 transmission.

550 maranello  1996-2001

The Ferrari 550 Maranello (tipo F133) is a front-engine V12 2-seat grand tourer  built  from 1996 to 2001. The 550 Maranello marked Ferrari's return to a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout for its 2-seater 12-cylinder model, 23 years after the 365 GTB/4 Daytona had been replaced by the mid-engined Berlinetta Boxer.

The model's name referred to the 5.5-litres total engine displacement in decalitres and to the town of Maranello, home to the Ferrari headquarters and factory. Pininfarina executed both the exterior and interior design.

The engine displaces 5,474 cc and produces 485 PS. According to Ferrari, the 550 Maranello has a top speed of 320 km/h, and can accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h  in 4.4 seconds.

Ferrari introduced a roadster version of the 550 at the Paris Motor Show in 2000 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Pininfarina. The Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was a true barchetta with no real convertible top provided. The factory did provide a cloth soft top, but it was intended only for temporary use to protect the interior from rain as using the top above 113 km/h was not deemed safe.

In 2002 the 550 was replaced by the 575M Maranello, which was an all-around improved version (modificata in Ferrari parlance) of the car, rather than an all-new construction. The 575M was fitted with a larger 5.75-litre version of the F133 engine. In total 3,083 units of the 550 Maranello were produced.

fxx 2005-2009

The Ferrari Enzo (Type F140), officially marketed as Enzo Ferrari, is a mid-engine sports car manufactured by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari and named after the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. 

It was developed in 2002 using Formula One technology, such as a carbon-fibre body, F1-style automated-shift manual transmission, and carbon fibre-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite disc brakes, as well as technologies not allowed in F1, such as active aerodynamics. The Enzo generates substantial amounts of downforce through its front underbody flaps, small adjustable rear spoiler and rear diffuser.

Ferrari decided to use some of the technology developed for the Enzo in a small-scale program to get more feedback from certain customers for use in future car design as well as their racing program.

The core of this program is the Ferrari FXX, introduced in 2005. It was loosely based on the Enzo's design with a highly tuned 6.3-liter version of the Enzo's engine generating a power output of approximately 800 PS.

The gearbox is specially developed for the car as well as the tires (custom-designed for this car by Bridgestone) along with the brakes (developed by Brembo). In addition, the car is fitted with extensive data-recording and telemetry systems to allow Ferrari to record the car's behavior. This information is used by Ferrari to develop their future sports cars. The FXX can do 0 to 97 km/h in 2.8 seconds.

Like the Enzo, the car was sold to specially selected existing clients of Ferrari only. The initial price was €1.3 million. Unlike the Enzo, the clients did not take delivery of the car themselves. Rather, it is maintained and kept by Ferrari and available for the client's use on various circuits as arranged by Ferrari and also during private track sessions.

A famous example of this is when Ferrari allowed Top Gear to send it around their test track in 2009. However, as Ben Collins (then portraying The Stig) wasn't a specially selected client, Michael Schumacher was selected to wear the white race suit. In the FXX, he set a then new lap record of 1:10.7, a record which was then immediately taken off as the car is not expected to be suitable for road use.

The Ferrari FXX program was continued until 2009 with the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione.

F2007  2007

The Ferrari F2007 is a Formula One motor racing car that was constructed by Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro to compete in the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship. The F2007 was the fifty-third single-seater car which the team have built to use in Formula One. As part of new FIA rules for the 2008 season which included banning driver aids via the introduction of a standard ECU for all teams, the F2007 was the last Ferrari Formula One car to use traction control.

The car is best known for providing Kimi Räikkönen with his first World Championship title and the team with its first Constructor's title since Michael Schumacher helped them win the 2004 Formula One season. As of 2022, this is the last Ferrari F1 car to win the drivers' title.

The Ferrari Tipo 056-2007 2.4-litre  90 degree V8, naturally-aspirated engine produced around 750 bhp.

812 superfast  2017-present

The Ferrari 812 Superfast (Type F152M) is a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer produced by Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari that made its debut in 2017. The 812 Superfast is the successor to the F12berlinetta

The 812 Superfast has a 6.496 cc  V12, an enlarged version of the 6.3-litre engine used in the F12berlinetta. It generates a power output of 800 PS.  According to Ferrari in 2018, the 812 Superfast's engine was, at the time, the most powerful naturally aspirated production car engine ever made.

The transmission for the 812 Superfast is a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox manufactured for Ferrari by Getrag, based on the gearbox used in the 458.

Ferrari claims that the 812 Superfast has a top speed of 340 km/h with a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 2.9 seconds. The car has a power to weight ratio of 2.18 kg per horsepower. The 812 Superfast is the first Ferrari equipped with EPS (Electronic Power Steering). It also shares the rear-wheel-steering system (Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0) borrowed from the limited edition F12 TDF. The weight distribution of the car is 47% front, 53% rear. The car has recorded a laptime of 1:21.50 around the Fiorano racetrack, 0.50 seconds behind the more track-focused F12tdf.

sf90  2019

The Ferrari SF90 is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Scuderia Ferrari to compete during the 2019 Formula One World Championship. The chassis was designed by Mattia Binotto, Enrico Cardile, Fabio Montecchi and David Sanchez with Corrado Iotti leading the powertrain design. The car was driven by Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc, who was making his debut for Scuderia Ferrari. The car made its competitive debut at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix.

The Ferrari 064 1.6 L  direct injection V6 turbocharged

engine is  limited to 15,000 RPM and has a mid-mounted, rear-wheel drive layout.

After the end of pre-season testing for the 2020 season, the FIA announced that it had concluded an investigation of the 2019 Ferrari 064 power unit and formed a private settlement with Ferrari.

Purosangue

The Ferrari Purosangue (Type F175) is a high-performance SUV by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari that was introduced on 13 September 2022. It is Ferrari's first SUV and production 4-door vehicle, and competes with other high-performance SUVs such as the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX.

The Ferrari Purosangue is named after the horse breed.

The Purosangue is based on the same platform as the Ferrari Roma coupe and uses fastback styling. It has front-opening rear doors and a B-pillar. This configuration aids ingress and egress to the rear seat.

The Purosangue has a 6.5 L V12 gasoline engine, with a maximum output of 725 PS at 7.750 rpm and a maximum torque of 716 Nm at 6.250 rpm. Ferrari states that it accelerates to 100 km per hour in 3.3 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 311 km per hour.

The unusual all-wheel-drive system is the same one introduced on the FF and later used in the GTC4 Lusso; it only operates in the first four gears and up to around 200 km per hour, driving the rear wheels only beyond that speed. All-wheel steering is standard. The SUV uses an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
