Scuderia Ferrari
Ferrari in 1948 and now based at Maranello, Italy makes the most sought after cars on the planet. Their road cars are all
based on and backed by Formula 1 racing experience, making them unique. The racing team "Scuderia Ferrari" has the
dedicated fan base in Italy named the Tifosi, who passionately support the team. The red colour associated with Ferrari
cars is a throwback to the early parts of this century, it being assigned to Italian cars racing in Grand Prix by the
International Automobile Federation. In 1981 the Formula 1 racing team moved to a dedicated plant next to the Fiorano
test track, previously being based at the Maranello factory. Some racing car components are however still manufactured
at Maranello. The current Chairman of Ferrari is Italian Luca di Montezemolo while the Racing Management Director is
Frenchman Jean Todt. When Schumacher moved from Benetton to Ferrari in 1996, Englishmen Technical Director Ross
Brawn and Chief Designer Rory Byrne followed. The driver line up for the team had until this year, since 1996 been
German Michael Schumacher and Irishman Eddie Irvine. Schumacher was the number 1 team driver and Irvine the
number 2. This was contractually stipulated and Irvine had to defer to Schumacher in a race should the situation arise
(and it has on several occasions). Although Irvine started out publically stating his happiness for this situation and
supporting it, during 1999 in particular he has been outspoken against both it and at times Schumacher.This year Rubens
Barrichello swapped teams from Stewart (now Jaguar) with Irvine to partner Michael. This was an inevitable move, not
least because Irvine had, during Michael's absence due to inhury in 1999, made some disparaging remarks about him.
Barrichello came to the team announcing that he was not a number two to Schuey, which many people found this hard to
believe. In confident style Michael stated that the driver who proved fastest would be team number one. Di Montezemolo
clarified the situation by stating that the team had a number "1A" and a number "1B" driver. The most successful of
Formula 1 teams, they have won constructor's championships in the folowing years: 1961, 1964, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1979,
1982 and 1983. They have won driver's championships with Alberto Ascari in 1952 & 1953, Juan Manuel Fangio in 1956,
Mike Hawthorn in 1958, Phil Hill in 1961, John Surtees in 1964 and Niki Lauda in 1975 & 1977. They last won the
championship in 1979 with Jody Scheckter and are desperately trying to regain it once again.You can buy Ferrari caps,

virtue of the fact it has a 3 litre displacement and that the year is 1999. For some years up until 1996 they had been using
a V12 engine, but regulation changes in 1996 restricted maximum engine displacement to 3000cc, down form 3500cc. The
V10 layout is proven to be optimum for this size and all teams including Ferrari now use 10 cylinder engines.1999 Car

575M Maranello
The key elements of the new 575M Maranello can be neatly summed up in the model name. In fact, the engine is
described by the new numerical code, 575, as this is an abbreviated indication of its capacity, increased from 5500 to
5750 cc, resulting in an increase in both power and torque. The letter M, an abbreviation of "modified," underlines the fact
that changes have been wrought to all areas of the model's performance. Key amongst these, apart from the engine is the
introduction of an F1 type gearbox, first time on a 12 cylinder Ferrari road car.

456M GT/GTA
The 456M, in its GT and automatic gearbox GTA guises, is the evolution of Ferrari's highly successful interpretation of its
traditional 2+2 models. First introduced in 1992, the 456 GT was the marque's first car designed with the 21st century in
mind and has been much appreciated by Maranello's clients for the way it provides saloon-class comfort and roominess
combined with class-leading performance and all-round ability. A true four-seater coupé, the 456 GT was also the first
modern Ferrari to revert to a front engine, rear-wheel drive layout, with the gearbox in unit with the rear differential for
ideal weight distribution as well as plenty of space for passengers and luggage.

360 Spider
The 360 Spider is Ferrari's 20th road-going convertible and is a record breaker in two quite different ways. Without doubt
it is the best spider Maranello has ever produced in terms of engineering, looks and performance. And, thanks to the
exclusive experience Ferrari has accumulated as a Formula 1 constructor, it is the most technologically advanced
convertible available today. Despite the car's mid-mounted V8 engine Ferrari's engineers have found a way of creating
a hood that automatically folds away inside the engine bay, thus ensuring purity of line. The intrinsic quality of the design
is underlined by the two fairings in the bodywork to the rear of the seats which evoke memories of classic sports cars.
These are matched by the two roll bars that add the final touch to providing maximum safety for the car's two occupants.

360 Challenge
Ferrari's GT cars have always been highly competitive in the hands of privateers, and their racing achievements have
played a fundamental role in the company's motor sport history. That's why the Ferrari Challenge one-make racing series
was created - it was Ferrari's way of getting owners of its road-going GT cars back on the track. The idea for a specific
competition for the 8-cylinder cars first became reality back in 1993 with the 348 Berlinetta. In 1995 it was the turn of the
F355, thanks to a special kit developed in-house by Ferrari. The 2000 season saw the debut of the 400-bhp, V8-engined
360 Modena Challenge alongside the F355. The 360 Modena maintains the same output (400 bhp @ 8,500 rpm) as the
standard road car, but incorporates a number of modifications designed to radically improve its performance in track use.

Challenge Stradale
For years, from the old 166 or 250 GT sport saloons to, somewhat later, with the GTO or F40, Ferraris have remained
Spartan in terms of their trim, even though they had luxurious touches, to focuse entirely on performance in which every
single gram of excess weight was eliminated. The other distinctive characteristic is the red body colour, an unmistakable
sign of a Maranello car.But by the early '90s this way of conceiving cars seemed rather limited. Owning a Ferrari must give
all-round pleasure and so any decision to limit comfort, usability and interior space excessively no longer made sense. The
same went for colours.This change of thinking led to models like the 456 GT and 550 Maranello (and today's 575M
Maranello), or the F355 and, later, 360 Modena eight-cylinder models.Ten years on, this progressive mutation has now
given way to a certain feeling of nostalgia for a Ferrari with no frills, which models like the F50 and Enzo have continued to
express even though they were produced in limited runs.With the Challenge Stradale Ferrari again proposes the very
essence of a racing car. Only features that were absolutely essential to the performance and safety were built into the car;
the rest were left out. The end result is an extremely lightweight, fast sports saloon, with a true racing-style set-up and
impeccable handling: a model offering top-level performance that incorporates experience gained over the many
thousands of kilometres covered by drivers in Challenge Championships throughout the world and advanced testing with
the 360 GTs that have participated in the FIA World Championship.There's a choice of two Challenge Stradale versions: a
more extreme one with racing seats and sliding windows, last used on the F40, and another, fitted with lighter,
wrap-around, leather seats and wind-down windows. Overall length 172.26 in
