The first Ferrari was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show in September 1948. The model became known as the Barchetta, or "little boat." Many of the car's lines were used by the British firm, AC and later by Carroll Shelby's Cobra.

[One] reason for both the Ferrari drivers' poor performance (relatively, of course) at Monaco Grand Prix 2007 could be their wheelbase. The longer wheelbase of the Ferraris, which had come to their aid during the Formula One races so far in 2007 probably did not help much during the twists and turns of Monaco / Monte Carlo.

Ferrari will work out the kinks in Maserati, the Modena-based manufacturer it took over in 1997. (Fiat owns both carmakers.) It's worth it, because sharing components with Maserati will be a great help in Ferrari's quest to reduce costs. When the replacement for the 360 Modena coupe goes on sale at the end of 2005 (its name will probably change), Ferrari is likely to import the 4.2-liter V-8 used on all Maseratis into its overhauled two-door. This would be the first engine shared between the companies; they have yet to share any platforms, the sets of hardware that underpin cars.

Ferrari remains the best-known producer of exotic Italian sheet metal, adding two new cars for 2005: the F430 and the limited-edition Superamerica. The F430 is a V8-powered, mid-engine replacement for the Ferrari 360, which has sold in three different versions: 360 Modena, 360 Spider and Challenge Stradale, to become the best-selling Ferrari of all time.
