Ferrari is with out a doubt the most recognized and appreciated supercar manufacturer in history. This Italian Exotic sports car manufacturer has produced countless supercars, and in fact any car to leave the Ferrari Factory doors can be qualified as a supercar. Ferrari was founded in 1928 as a racecar company, by Enzo Ferrari. The company, officially called Scuderia Ferrari (Ferrari Stable or Team Ferrari) was intended to be only a race car manufacturer, however in 1947 the company started producing street legal automobiles. The company was sold to Fiat Group in 1969, but even to this day Ferrari remains a mostly independent company that produced its own supercars. Ferraris are universally understood to be fast, exotic, supercars that put driving pleasure above any other goal. The Prancing Horse logo was originally used as a good luck charm on Enzo’s racecars; however it now is synonymous with supercar performance. Many Ferraris are painted in the famous Rosa Corsa color. This bright red attracts more attention to the beautiful Pininfarina bodywork that covers most Ferrari models. Ferrari’s only consistent competition has come from fellow Italian supercar manufacturer Lamborghini, however over the years countless companies have built supercars targeted at Ferraris. The current lineup of Ferraris includes various versions of the mid engine V8 F430, the grand touring 612, the brutally fast 599 GTB and the hardtop convertible California.
Not only are Ferraris some of the best supercars ever produced, but they are also some of the best collector cars on the road. The prestige and history that accompanies almost every Ferrari produced is undeniable, and it is these characteristics that drive collectors to continue to buy classic Ferraris. Unfortunately many of these collectors never actually drive their cars. This is such a shame because Ferraris were meant to be driven. They are wondrous works of art, but they were created for the purpose of supercar driving pleasure, not to be housed in a museum.
This is where we come in. The reason many of the collector Ferraris are not driven is because of their excessively high cost, some of which have sold at auction for over $9 million! Fortunately, there are also plenty of cheap Ferraris for sale. These Ferraris are more modern and have less racing history than the multi-million dollar prancing horses, but then again, these are supercars that can actually be driven.
