He built an amazing career as a racing driver for Alfa Romeo before building his own Ferrari enterprise. Through his newly established company, Enzo Ferrari built the ‘Spider’, a sports car powered by a 1500 cc 8-cylinder engine.
Called the 815, only two were constructed, one taking part in the 1940 Mille Miglia but his ambitions were put on hold with the outbreak of World War II and all motor racing came to halt.
When the war ended, he was able to launch what is truly considered to be the first Ferrari: the 125 S, with 1500 cc 12-cylinder engine.
