Ferrari’s Legacy of Innovation

It would be difficult to imagine a name more expressive of speed, elegance and innovation than that of Ferrari. It’s a name that stirs up visions of motor racing glory past and present. Over the span of almost eight decades, Ferrari has come to dominate the world of high-performance cars, thrilling enthusiasts worldwide. Within a series, Ferrari moves seamlessly from street, to barely street-legal to track-only cars. The modifications reveal the true and consistent innovation that ensures each car produced by Ferrari since 1947 remains timeless.

Engineered to Exceed

When enthusiasts get their hands on fascinating cars with true racing heritage, it is only a matter of time before some will make modifications to increase their car’s performance through weight reduction, improving aerodynamics, safety and braking, and optimizing the drivetrain by increasing engine performance so they can get behind the wheel of a faster version of their dream car. However, since the mid-1990s, Ferrari has engineered these performance enhancements in-house, offering higher performing and harder to acquire versions of their cars through the model run until the next model is released.
