At first, Enzo Ferrari had been appointed as the head of Alfa Corse, a group of different racing car companies, however, in 1938 he abandoned the position to move on to create his own company only a year later, Auto Avio Costruzioni.
- The first car to be built was the 125 S, in 1947 Maranello. Along with the 125 S, the 1500 cm^3 cylinder and the 815 Spider had been created for the Mille Migalia, a road that was created for open-road endurance races. The road had 24 races that took place on it from 1927 till it closed in 1957.

He added on the yellow shield behind the initial design in honor of Modena, Italy.
- Throughout the decades of the Ferrari cars, they have kept generally the same designs. Typically stout and low to the ground with a slightly boxy nose, the wears the color of a stereotypical red sports car in almost all of the models, the Cavallino Rampante proudly mounted on the hood.
