2. Свою первую гонку Энцо увидел в 10 лет, а в 13 он уже умел водить. Во время Первой Мировой Войны он был уволен в запас по инвалидности. Его отец и брат погибли на войне.
3. В 1920 году он был принят гонщиком в команду Alfa Romeo и в тот же год пришел вторым на Targa Florio. В 1929 году он перестал выступать, став управляющим гоночной команды Alfa.
4. Одним из самых странных проектов Феррари для Альфы был Bimotore — одноместный болид с двумя двигателями спереди и сзади. Она была очень быстрой, но практически неуправляемой.
5. В те редкие минуты его жизни, которые не были посвящены автоспорту, Энцо любил кататься на своем любимом британском мотоцикле Rudge.

6. В 1940 году частная компания Енцо Auto Avio Construzione построила гоночный автомобиль на базе Фиата. В Mille Miglia этого года на нем выступал Альберто Аскари, который лидировал в гонке до тех пор, пока не взорвался двигатель. Феррари заявил, что виной тому были детали от Фиата…
7. Первой настоящей машиной Ferrari была Tipo 125, появившаяся в 1947 году. Двигатель V12 был спроектирован Джаочино Колумбо, а машина собрана на фабрике в Маранелло, которую отчасти финансировал Муссолини с тем, чтобы на ней также выпускалась военная техника.

8. У Феррари был только один сын (официально) — Альфредино, или просто ‘Dino’, родившийся в 1932 году. Он умер от мышечной дистрофии в 1956 году и скорбящий отец с тех пор навещал его могилу практически ежедневно.
9. У Энцо, тем не менее, были романы на стороне. Он делил свое свободное время между своей женой Лаурой и любовницей Лииной Ларди… у которой от него родился сын Пиеро. Лаура умерла в 1978 году и тогда вторая семья Энцо переехала к нему в его огромную виллу.

14. Логотип гарцующей лошади был подарен Феррари баронессой Баракка. Ее погибший сын был летчиком-асом Первой Мировой Войн, он использовал эту лошадь на белом фоне в качестве своей лётной эмблемы.

15. Полагают, что прозвище Энцо ‘Il Commendatore’ происходит от титула, которым его наградил фашистский король Италии Эммануэль III.
16. Мать Энцо Адальгиза и его жена Лаура ненавидели друг друга. Однако это не помешало Энцо купить большую виллу в Модене и поделить ее между ними. Адальгиза Феррари умерла в 1965 году, подавившись вареным яйцом.

18. При всех его достоинствах, Энцо Феррари был очень вспыльчив и придирчив. Его главный инженер Мауро Форгьери как-то сказал: «Как бизнесмен — он превосходен, но как человек — он полное ничтожество».
19. Гонщик команды Ferrari Майк Хоторн был первым британцем, выигравшем чемпионат Формулы 1. В 1953 году он вырвал победу у Фанхио, который выступал на Мерседесе.
20. Хоторн был в шоке после того, как его соратник по команде Питер Коллинс погиб на Нюрбургринге в 1958 году. Хоторн в тот же год ушел из автоспорта, но погиб в дорожной аварии всего несколько месяцев спустя.

Ford GT40
22. Ford пытался купить Ferrari в 1963 году за 18 миллионов долларов, но Энцо не согласился по причине отказа американцев дать ему полный контроль над гоночным подразделением. В ответ Форд создал GT40.
23. Dino 246 под управлением Фила Хилла выиграла Гран-При Италии в 1960 году — последняя серьезная победа переднемоторной машины.
24. В 1960 году Ferrari начали поставляться в Британию. Импортером был полковник Ронни Хор, основавший автосалон Maranello Conncessionares.

45. Глава Ferrari сегодня — Лука ди Монтеземоло — выходец из семьи, владеющей Фиатом (семейство Аньелли). С 1973 по 77 год он был личным помощником Энцо, успешно руководя командой F1, будучи тогда лишь 26 лет от роду.
