Enzo Ferrari’s 120th birth anniversary and New Ferrari 488 Pista

Enzo Ferrari’s 120th birth anniversary is celebrated with a special photo exhibition at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena.

Enzo Anselmo Ferrari was born in Modena on February 18th, 1898. He had been passionate about cars since he was a child. Considering that his father had a workshop, the time he spent there inspired young Enzo and formed his character. Eventually, He built his career not only as a great car manufacturer, but also as one of the most influential personalities of the 20th century. To mark his 120th birth anniversary, a photo exhibition has been organised at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy. It includes images illustrating story of his life, his personality and extraordinary vision. Enzo’s undeniable strong spirit is reflecting in the present soul of the company. Ferrari is one of the most luxurious, dynamic and influential car producers in the world.

Discover New Ferrari 488 Pista, that will be presenting at the Geneva International Motor Show 2018.

The Ferrari 488 Pista is a premier that will be presented during Geneva International Motor Show 2018. You have an exclusive opportunity to see and learn about its amazing features beforehand. The Ferrari 488 Pista marks a significant step forward from the previous special series in terms of both sporty dynamics and for the level of technological carry-over from racing. The name is, in fact, a direct homage to Ferrari’s unparalleled heritage in motor sports. It is a car with an uncompromising mission: to offer track-like performance on and off the road, even when in the hands of non-professional drivers.

Good to know:

• The design of the Ferrari 488 Pista is focussed on functional aerodynamic concepts while the cockpit is pared back in keeping with its very sporty vocation. Ferrari Design used innovative elements, such as the aerodynamic S-Duct at the front, as an opportunity to visually shorten the car’s nose, creating an original floating wing effect.
