The Ferrari: Rich Legacy And Strong Innovation

By Dawn Morgan


There are a lot of different cars in the market today. Despite that, it's very difficult to not fall in love with a Ferrari. With a rich legacy of producing some of the fastest and most luxurious cars in the world, they continue to wow their supporters with several innovations that can make the most modern cars a run for their money.

Over the past few decades, the Ferrari has not only been a staple vehicle for race car drivers, it also signifies elegance, versatility and an evident touch of class. There are specific Ferrari models that may date back to over fifty years ago, but because of their innovative developments and remodelling, they are able to produce a fast and dynamic car that everyone will love.

This Ferrari boasts of a 7 speed transmission and a V8 front engine, but that's probably the least of the many advantages of this car. Have you ever heard of Ferraris with backseats? Well, here's one of their first ones! They coined the term 2+ to signify this new model. They have also aptly nicknamed the Ferrari as the Grand Tourer, and with definite good reason. It's hard to think of anyone who would not want to ride a Ferrari, and so they have made specific models that will be handy for this purpose.

Trying to sell a Ferrari to a skeptical customer can immediately turn things around once you are able to talk about speed. While others would complain about the backseats, getting on a Ferrari with 193 mph and a four second travel from standstill to sixty is enough to wash those worries away. The impressive speed that can only come from a Ferrari is more than enough to compensate for the space that we normally try to find in other vehicles.

The Ferrari has also had its share in television and film, keeping its reputation for speed and functionality. One of the cars used in popular films would be the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. There were only less than 100 units sold for this model alone, and figures have shown that it was sold at a price tag of 11 million dollars at an auction!

Some car lovers still prefer the old models, and if you remember the car used in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, you would recognize that as being a 250 GT. It was sold in an auction for almost 11 million dollars, so it would be quite obvious that the one used in the movie was just a replica.

Enzo Ferrari developed this company less than a century ago, but it does not seem to have lost its glamour. Calling it a nice car would actually even be offensive to die hard Ferrari owners. Modern, luxurious and exotic, the Ferrari's classic color and simple design is enough to make you want one. Driving it may not be enough because you would want to take it home and understand why people all over the world has enjoyed this car so much.

We may see a lot of newer cars in the market. One thing is sure though: legacy of the Ferrari lives on. As they continue to move forward with their desire to make more customers happy, they are sure to remain as one of the global leaders in the automobile industry.
