That said, Ferrari’s origins are inextricably linked to its founder’s entire life story.īorn in Modena on February 18 1898, Enzo Ferrari passed away on August 14 1988, having devoted his entire life to motor racing.

In the second half of the decade, the Scuderia enjoyed massive success in F1, winning the Drivers’ and Constructors’ World titles on several occasions. In fact, in 1968, the Prancing Horse struck a sponsorship deal with Shell which remains our main sponsor to this day together with Philip Morris International which has flanked us since 1984. Sponsorship arrived in Formula 1 in the late 1960s and the logos began to appear on the Ferrari single-seaters at that time too. The racing division was not exactly standing idly by either. Sales continued to grow throughout that decade, driven by the popularity of models such as the 308 GTB, the 308 GT4 and the GTS. In 1973, production began of cars powered by the first rear-mounted V8 engines which proved hugely commercially successful. In 1960, Ferrari became a Limited Company and in 1969 reached an agreement with Fiat to sell it 50% of its shares.
