Initially, Enzo Ferrari had no interest in producing road cars with his primary focus revolving around racing. However, in 1947, this would change as Enzo now needed a way to fund his racing project Scuderia Ferrari. The solution was selling factory race cars and thus the consumer Italian luxury sports car was born. Today the Ferrari name is associated with some of the most popular luxury sports cars on the road.
