Red has swept by like the wind, and the air is filled with passion like fire. The screams of passers-by are not only admiration, but also admiration for the passing red. Here she comes, with her name-Ferrari.

Modena, Italy, a small town in northern Italy with a population of only 17,, has too much happiness, because it is a red paradise and a Ferrari city.

history creates culture, and time condenses into value. It may be a historical arrangement that Ferrari was born in Italy. Caesar's belief in driving an iron horse across Europe and becoming a king has lasted for thousands of years, surging in the blood of Italians of all ages; Giotto's Madonna on the Throne, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's David ... Those are the purest pursuits of art, which are the brilliance that is exchanged for the burning of life; There is also Marco Polo, a pioneer in exploring the unknown world, Spartacus, a challenger of fate, and Bruno, who painted the truth with blood in front of the Flower Square. Such a land and such a nation are qualified to create this red goddess.

People love Ferrari's sexiness, stunning, energy and impulsiveness rather than its purity, the purity of giving everything to pursue a beautiful dream. That dream is like a glimmer of crystal light shining from the morning dew under the touch of pink sunshine, and it is as mysterious as the ancient city of Pompeii destroyed by Mount Vesuvius. She is a rainbow that never falls, and she is a fog that never dissipates; She is so perfect that no one can own and control her, but she can only carefully collect her delicate beauty.

Many people can't have their own Ferrari all their lives. What's it like to drive a Ferrari? Recalling the movie that was all the rage ten years ago, the 1993 Oscar film "Scent of a Woman". Al Pacino plays a frustrated, lame and blind veteran, and a scene at the end of the film may be worth watching again by all Ferrari fans. Pacino's last dream was to drive a Ferrari. He succeeded. Under the command of his friend, his Ferrari galloped in the noisy neighborhood. He cheered and exclaimed, although all he felt was the cold steering wheel and the oncoming wind. He can't see anything, but his heart is throbbing with the roar of the engine, and the passion and youth mottled by years are re-injected into his blood. There are no words to describe this feeling, perhaps it is the moment when a great dream comes true, perhaps it is the moment when you stand at the top of the snow-capped mountain and look at the thin clouds.

Enzo Ferrari, an industrial poet

In the last century, three great writers appeared in the world car industry. Henry Ford, a famous American "best-selling novelist". Today, the output of his Model T of 15 million can only be compared with that of the Beatles. Enzo Ferrari and ettore Bugatti are "romantic poets" in the Italian industrial age. Their works are high and low, and their beautiful rhetoric has attracted countless audiences to stop and understand. This article introduces Enzo Ferrari, one of the Romantic poets and the father of Ferrari supercar.

In the years of Alfa Romeo

On February 18th, 1898, Enzo Ferrari was born in a wealthy family in Modena, Italy. He was famous all his life, but he lived in three cities all the year round: Modena, Ficolano and Maranello.

On the day when Ferrari was born, it was snowing heavily, so he didn't declare his name. Ferrari comes from ferro in Italian, which means iron. Ferrari is also related to the word Ferrari, which means to put a horseshoe on a horse. Such a name can also imply the occupation of Ferrari's father, who is the owner of a small blacksmith company in Modena.

Hitler, the fascist leader, once hoped to be a painter when he was young. It was the teachers of Vienna Art School who changed the world history. They had two chances to stop the outbreak of World War II, but they didn't admit Hitler twice. Ferrari was also not a natural mechanic. He once aspired to be a sports reporter, but his efforts were overturned by World War I.. This may be history.

Ferrari's road to success is full of hardships and pains. Because he only received seven years of formal education, he was only responsible for taking care of a group of mules for the Ministry of Communications during the First World War.

after Ferrari retired from the army, it was found that the family was devastated, and his father and brother died one after another. He once applied for a position at Fiat, but too many Italian youths were demobilized and returned home. Fiat turned down Ferrari. Helpless Ferrari often walks aimlessly in the streets, leaving in his heart infinite loneliness and desolation.

Ferrari finally got a job. He entered the auto industry as a tester in a car company whose main job was to convert Lancia trucks into passenger cars. Ferrari then moved to Milan's national machine manufacturing company CMN (Costruzioni Meccaniche Nazionali) to work as a racing driver and test driver. His racing career began in the Parma-Berceto Climbing Competition in 1919. Ferrari ranked fourth in the same class and 12th in the total score. In 192, Ferrari joined Alfa Romeo, and the most famous Italian Targa Florio road race held in Sicily in the same year won the second place.

In p>192, Ferrari saw a girl at Turin Railway Station. She is a beautiful, blonde, elegant, lively and meticulous girl. Her name was Laura, and Ferrari married her soon. Their later son was named Dino.

In p>1924, Ferrari represented Alfa Romeo in the European GP Competition held in Lyon, France. The proud Ferrari experienced its first blow here, and his car quit before completing a few laps. Ferrari returned to his hometown of Modena by train with a feeling of depression. Ferrari did not give any explanation to the company afterwards, and why Ferrari withdrew from this mystery is still unknown.

another thing that frustrated Ferrari happened in 1931. Ferrari was defeated by Novara, which he regarded as a very shameful thing in his life. On December 1, 1929, Ferrari's team named after itself was established, and it will represent Alfa Romeo in the race. Usually, some materials and documents will set 1929 as the time when Ferrari first laid the foundation stone, although Ferrari was only a team at that time. In order to win more victories, Ferrari decided to hire drivers of the highest level. One of those drivers is Novara Ferrari, and Novara Ferrari has also created one glory after another under the leadership of Ferrari.

Ferrari has hired Vittorio Jano, a first-class automobile manufacturing engineer in Italy, from Fiat Automobile Manufacturing Company to enhance the technical development strength of Alfa-Romeo Automobile Manufacturing Company. In 1935, they designed a single-seat 8-cylinder sports car with two engines (front and rear). It is said that this kind of sports car can run at a speed of 3 km/h, but the tire technology at that time could not bear such a speed. During this period, Romeo introduced a racing car code-named B, and later people usually called it Ferrari B racing car. Novara, the ace driver, drove the B-car in 1935 and defeated the German United Team (a team representing Audi, DKW, Horch, Wanderer and other automobile companies formed by Dr. porsche), which is often talked about in the history of GP competition.

from 1929 to 1936, the Ferrari team led by Enzo Ferrari successively made a splash in various competitions, such as Formula Racing, 24-hour Sports Endurance Race, Mille Miglia Grand Prix, Targa Floria and so on, and participated in 39 grand prix and won 11 championships.

It is an embarrassing thing to be above the Lord. Enzo Ferrari's position in Alfa Romeo is becoming more and more subtle. The long-buried bomb finally exploded in 1939. Ferrari left Alfa Romeo with his closest colleagues Luigi Bazzi and Alberto Massimino. There are many versions of the reasons why Ferrari broke up with the company, among which the Italian version (which is also the most credible statement) is an irreconcilable contradiction between Ferrari and its president, Ugo Gobbato. Even so, it was Spanish Wilfredo Ricart, the chief engineer of Alfa Romeo, who finally detonated the bomb. The mutual attacks between Ferrari and Richard never stopped. In the face of Richard's jealousy and ridicule, Ferrari retorted. Ferrari is always sarcastic about Richard's sparse and oily hair and his behavior like a nouveau riche who has just entered a big city. "When you shake hands with him, you will feel his palm as cold as a zombie." In this case, it can be seen that Ferrari is really not interested in staying. At the age of 3, Ferrari started its own business.

Brilliant again

This is an adventure, a very big adventure. Ferrari knows this, but he has nothing left the car. In the first four years, Alfa Romeo's president did not allow Ferrari to produce cars named after himself, let alone to drive cars named after himself to participate in the competition (Ferrari and Romeo promised not to compete). Back in Modena, Ferrari established its own company-Autoavio Costruzioni. Ferrari produced two 8-cylinder 15ml cars named 815S under extremely difficult conditions. The body of this car was completed in Turin, and in 194, it also participated in the Miller MiG race. In 1943, Ferrari's factory moved from Modena to Maranello. It had been producing ball bearings until 1944, when the factory was bombed due to World War II.

After World War II, Auto Avio Costruzioni Company was officially renamed as Ferrari Automobile Manufacturing Company. Since its establishment, Enzo Ferrari has hired Luigi Bazzi and Gioacchino columbo, the best engineers in Italian car industry, to take charge of car design. Ferrari, on the other hand, concentrates on predicting the development trend of models and coordinating the company's affairs. Enzo Ferrari once said, "I never felt like an engineer, let alone a designer and inventor. At best, I can only be regarded as an agitator, and I will continue to develop appropriate things and create brilliant things in the coming year by stimulating the potential of skilled craftsmen. "

in p>1946, Ferrari manufactured a "Ferrair Tipo125" engine with 12 cylinders, a displacement of only 1.5 liters and a power of 9 HP. The 12-cylinder engine was not popular after the war, which was considered by later experts as Ferrari's gamble on the world car world. At that time, Ferrari won six championships in Rome, Italy, and the era curtain of Ferrari's red tiger sweeping the championship trophy was lifted.

every Ferrari that wins the championship has a "galloping horse" sign. The story dates back to 1923. The 25-year-old Ferrari was lucky enough to meet the mother of an outstanding Italian pilot who died in World War I-Ms. Candice Bericha. She told Ferrari that her son shot down 34 enemy planes in the battle, and the flying badge on both sides of his fighter plane was a "galloping horse". If Ferrari painted it on the racing car, it would bring good luck. Ferrari listened to this mother's words, and it really worked. After the pilot died, Ferrari changed the color of the horse to black, and the horse stood upright with a single hind foot and its tail stood up. The background color of the logo is the color of canary in Modena where the company is located.

for Enzo Ferrari, civilian cars are just a by-product of racing cars. His passion is always single-seat racing. In 195, when the Formula One World Championship was formally established, it became his main interest.

on July 14th, 1951, the red Ferrari 375F1, driven by Argentine driver Jose Froilan Gonzalez, defeated the invincible Romeo Alfetta)159 in the GP race in England. Ferrari made no secret of its pride, "I killed my mother!" " (I have killed my own mother! )。 Although this sentence is a little swearing, it can be seen from a resentment that has been suppressed in the chest for more than ten years.

in p>1952, Ferrari hired legendary designer Pininfalini as the chief designer of Ferrari automobile manufacturing company. Under the command of Pininfalini, new Ferrari sports cars emerge one after another-25, 33, 365, 365GT/4, 4 automatic transmission and 4I sports cars.

in 1963, Ford tried to buy Ferrari, but Enzo Ferrari refused to sell the car factory to Americans. Then, in 1969, Italy's state-owned automobile group Fiat bought control of Ferrari, while Enzo Ferrari retained the right to manage the racing department. This allows him to concentrate on the racing team. He will return to his office at 7: 3 every morning, and (even if he is 9 years old) he knows the names of every employee in the racing department (he always hired 2 people before he died). Every victory in Formula One is "like changing the blood for Enzo Ferrari" in the eyes of his driver Michele Alboreto. And his love for racing undoubtedly extended his life.

At the celebration of the 4th anniversary of the founding of Ferrari in p>1987, Enzo Ferrari said, "I am coming to the end!" In this case, although depressed, it is extremely emotional. Sannucci, a driver and journalist, has been an old friend of Ferrari for 6 years. At the time of Ferrari's death, he wrote: "Enzo Ferrari will always be an example, whether as a racing driver, team manager or company chairman".

Enzo Ferrari devoted himself to his automobile manufacturing career with the passion of "pursuing perfection and never leaving regrets". He has dedicated countless beautiful works and exciting moments to us. Enzo Ferrari died in his sleep on August 14, 1988, when he had dominated the racing industry for nearly 7 years. The car he built has won more than 5, races all over the world, and has won 27 World Champions Cups. Thanks to Enzo Ferrari's persistence, today's Ferrari and its immortal legend can be created.
