VICTORY CAME AT A PRICE
Everyone knows the Prancing Horse. Far fewer know the man who paid the price to make it legendary.
Today, Ferrari represents speed, wealth, Formula One glory, Italian engineering, and some of the most desirable automobiles ever built. But behind the polished red machines lies a far more complicated human story.
Before Ferrari became an empire, Enzo Ferrari was a young man from Modena who lost his father and brother, survived war and serious illness, and entered the automobile industry with little more than ambition and a childhood fascination with racing.
What followed was anything but a smooth road to success.
Enzo raced for Alfa Romeo before building a team of his own. He watched friends and drivers die in a sport he could not bring himself to abandon. He created Scuderia Ferrari, survived wartime factory bombings, and eventually put his own surname on a V12 racing car.
Then Ferrari began winning.
But as the victories multiplied, so did the personal cost.
Why did Enzo walk away from Alfa Romeo?
How did the Prancing Horse become his symbol?
Why did he sell expensive road cars when racing was his true obsession?
What happened when his beloved son Dino became seriously ill?
How did the deadly 1957 Mille Miglia disaster put Ferrari under intense legal and public scrutiny?
Why did senior employees revolt and walk out?
And how did a deal that could have put Ferrari in the hands of Ford Motor Company collapse and ignite one of the fiercest rivalries in automotive history?
WHO FOUNDED FERRARI? VICTORY CAME AT A PRICE takes readers behind the famous badge to discover the losses, conflicts, engineering battles, family complications, financial pressures, racing triumphs, and relentless determination that shaped Enzo Ferrari and the company that survived him.
This is not simply a book about cars.
It is a story about ambition, grief, competition, control, resilience, family, business, and the uncomfortable price that can accompany extraordinary success.
Perfect for Ferrari enthusiasts, Formula One fans, automotive-history readers, entrepreneurs, business-history lovers, and anyone fascinated by the complicated people behind famous global brands.
The next time you see the Prancing Horse, you may never look at it the same way again.
Discover the man behind the machine, the tragedies behind the triumphs, and the extraordinary story behind one of the most recognizable names in automotive history.
Get your copy today and discover why, for Enzo Ferrari, victory came at a price.
