Ferrari S.p.A. is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929, as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving into production of street-legal vehicles as Ferrari S.p.A. in 1947. Fiat acquired 50% of Ferrari in 1969 and expanded its stake to 85% in 2008, which it still holds. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has had great success. Ferrari road cars are generally seen as a symbol of speed, luxury and wealth.
Enzo Ferrari was not initially interested in the idea of producing road cars when he formed Scuderia Ferrari (literally "Ferrari Stable", and usually used to mean "Team Ferrari", it is correctly pronounced [skudeˈriːa]) in 1928 as a sponsor for amateur drivers headquartered in Modena. Ferrari prepared, and successfully raced, various drivers in Alfa Romeo cars until 1938, when he was hired by Alfa Romeo to head their motor racing department.
The first Ferrari road car was the 1947 125 S, powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine; Enzo Ferrari reluctantly built and sold his automobiles to fund Scuderia Ferrari. The 458 Italia is Ferrari's two-seat, mid-rear engine exotic sport coupe, the result of an uncompromising design approach that integrates style and passion with cutting-edge, track-derived technology. It was designed for owners whose priority is on-road performance with occasional track day capability, but who still demand a car that is useable in day-to-day driving.
The 458 Spider's 570-horsepower direct-injected 4.5-liter V8 engine sends power through 7-speed dual clutch transmission with F1-style steering column-mounted shift paddles that allow for extremely quick gear changes. The standard E-Diff3 is an electronic limited-slip rear differential that varies the distribution of torque based on inputs such as steering angle and lateral acceleration. Brembo brakes featuring carbon-ceramic material discs as standard. Magnetic fluid-filled shock absorbers react instantly to road conditions and driver inputs. A switch on the steering wheel, called a manettino, integrates suspension, traction control, stability control and shifter systems and allows the driver to choose the optimum setting for current conditions. The standard 6-disc CD/MP3 stereo features a 30-gigabyte hard drive and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Options include carbon fiber interior and exterior trim, adaptive headlights, navigation system, premium JBL 1000-watt audio system, reverse camera, and front and rear parking sensors. A wide range of interior and exterior colors are available.
The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, with an all-aluminum chassis and body, brings F1 racing technology and performance to the road. The 599 GTB Fiorano strikes a balance between sport and luxury with high-quality leather trim tastefully combined with high-tech carbon-fiber and aluminum details. This Italian exotic grand touring sports coupe?s 6.0-liter V12 engine makes 612 hp and 448 lbs-ft of torque. Two transmissions are available: a 6-speed manual, or a 6-speed automated manual with F1 Superfast steering column-mounted shift paddles that allow for extremely quick gear changes. A switch on the steering wheel, called a manettino, integrates suspension, traction control, stability control and shifter systems and allows the driver to choose the optimum setting for current conditions.
Magnetic fluid-filled shock absorbers react instantly to road conditions and driver inputs. Options include carbon fiber interior trim, Recaro sport seats, Bose sound system, parking sensors and navigation system. The HGTE Package includes exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels, race-compound performance tires, two-tone leather seat trim with black Alcantara inserts, carbon fiber interior trim, re-tuned springs, larger rear anti-roll bar, new calibration settings for the magnetic fluid-filled shock absorbers, race-oriented electronic suspension settings, lower ride-height, matte-black rear diffuser, re-tuned transmission and engine software, and modified exhaust with chrome tailpipes. The 2011 599 GTB Fiorano carries over from 2010.
