1940 – 1949 –
Ferrari Models – From 1939 Enzo Ferrari began to create the Ferrari Legacy that still stands to this very day. Initially Enzo’s mission was to simply build race cars, as depicted by the sheer volume of race cars produced during the first decade of the companies lifespan. Developing 6 works of art, each dedicated to win at the race track, but one made it through to full production, this was to be Ferrari’s first true grand tourer – and solely designed to fund Enzo interest in Competitive MotorSport. The 166 Inter was an evolution of the 125 S and 166 S racing cars, it was a sports car for the street with a coachbuilt body. The “Inter” name commemorated the victories claimed in 166 S models by Scuderia Inter. Only 38 166 Inters were built from 1948 through 1950.

1970 – 1979 –
Ferrari Models – The 1950’s and 60’s had seem a boom in Enzo passion for the production of road cars. But the 1970’s slowed down a little as Enzo attention became focused on a more aggressive motor industry coming into its own. 19 Ferrari Models were made, with the majority (13) of them being sent to full production, as Enzo saw a definitive need to increase his investment in the Motor Sport Arena.
1980 – 1989 –
Ferrari Models – Now into his late 80’s Enzo made his last masterpiece the iconic Specialist F40 – The car many believe to be the best ever. At this point the commercial focus of the company was no longer to produce race cars, but focus on the production of road cars for the elite that embodied the track (25 in total during the 1980’s). Motorsport was now centralised in F1., alone.
1990 – 1999 –
Ferrari Models – After the lack of focus on race car development outside of F1., during the 1980’s a decision was made to place a little more energy in building up the track car pedigree. 22 models left the Ferrari Skunk works during the 1990’s with 5 specifically made for the track, and the world looked in as mouthwatering celebration named the F50, rolled off the production line.
