Enzo - Das Leben des Ferrari-Gründers

Respected, honoured, feared, revered - Enzo Ferrari was already a mixture of national hero and saint in Italy during his lifetime. Born in 1898, he showed an early enthusiasm for motorised vehicles. However, his entry into the world of motorsport was hard-won. He excelled primarily as a racing driver for Alfa Romeo, winning more than a dozen events for the Italian brand. Nevertheless, Enzo realised that his skills as a driver were limited.

By using his own racing cars and building road-going sports cars, he moulded Ferrari into the global brand we know today in the post-war period. He always demanded absolute dedication from himself, his mechanics and drivers and, as patriarch, was absolutely at the centre of the company. His name is associated with glorious victories in motorsport as well as beautiful sports cars with outstanding performance. Luca Dal Monte captivatingly traces the life of one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.
