History
Ferrari was founded in 1947 by Enzo Ferrari in Maranello and became synonymous with Italian engineering excellence and motorsport passion. The company developed into the epitome of high-performance sports cars with legendary models and countless racing victories. Since 2016, Ferrari has been publicly traded and partially independent from Fiat-Chrysler.
EV strategy
Ferrari has revised its electric expectations downwards: at its Capital Markets Day in October 2025 the company put 2030 at roughly 40 percent combustion, 40 percent hybrid and 20 percent electric; the earlier plan called for 40 percent electric. Its first electric model has been called Luce since February 2026, was shown in Rome on 25 May 2026 and reaches its first customers in Italy from October 2026: four electric motors, more than 1,000 hp, five seats. Even electrically, Ferrari puts weight on sound and the feel of driving.
Good to know
- The iconic Prancing Horse logo derives from Italian fighter pilot Francesco Baracca from World War I.
- Maranello has been Ferrari's headquarters and production center since 1943.
- Designer Jony Ive, formerly of Apple and now with his LoveFrom collective, worked on the Luce.
- Ferrari ships fewer than 15,000 cars a year, keeping it among the most exclusive makers (as of 2025).
