Ferrari celebrates 75 years

-

Ferrari is celebratin­g 75 years of fast cars this year, and to commemorat­e this milestone the esteemed Italian brand has unveiled a special logo as well as a video.

The logo features a prominent number 75 alongside the Cavallino Rampante (prancing horse) and 1947-2022 inscriptio­n.

A sculpture of the prancing horse was introduced by Ferrari Chairman John Elkann, Ferrari Chairman, essentiall­y a giant puzzle which has been created with the help of each and every Ferrari employee who placed each individual piece.

'For this special year we have created a special icon: a sculpture made up of thousands of components forged here in our factory and positioned one by one by my Ferrari colleagues.

'It is a symbol of the Ferrari spirit which is shared both here in

Maranello and by all our family around the world.

'It reflects the essence of who we are, our past 75 years, and our future,' Elkann said.

'It is a symbol of a company that, as Enzo Ferrari once said, is above all made up of people.'

Back in the day Enzo himself said, 'Factories are made of people, machines, and buildings.’ Ferrari celebrated its

70th anniversar­y in 2017 and commemorat­ed the occasion by launching 350 special editions of their then current models, the La Ferrari Aperta, and holding numerous events all over the world.

While it's not clear if any special edition models will be included in the anniversar­y plans for 2022, the Daytona SP from the limited production Icona series should be an indication of what is to come in the coming 12 months from Maranello.
