It
has long been stated that the only reason Ferrari
ever began producing passenger cars was as a
method of financing their racing efforts. While
it might sound far-fetched, this story is not
all that far from the truth. Enzo Ferrari originally
founded the organization as a racing team, and
for almost 20 years the company was exclusively
involved in competitive racing. Eventually,
the fires that drove Enzo Ferrari on the track
also compelled him to create some of the most
beautiful and compelling sports cars ever offered
for sale.
To this day, Ferrari is a special company
in exotic car rental. While may other auto
manufacturers claim that their racing programs
serve to test out new technology that eventually
finds its way, watered down, into their passenger
cars, Ferrari is one of the few companies
which actively installs barely-changed Formula
1 systems and components in their vehicles
– sometimes less than a year after that
same tech was used on the track. This devotion
to bringing their sports cars as close to
a competition reality as possible extends
to every area of Ferrari’s philosophy,
from using experienced race drivers as test
pilots for their super cars to introducing
buyer programs which reward those who remain
loyal to the company with special access to
cars and equipment.
Ferrari is truly one of the most unique luxury
car rentals in the world. Their hand-made
engines and exquisitely designed bodies are
some of the most beautiful forms in the world
of cars. The motorsports history of each production
Ferrari can be heard in the burbling exhaust
note and seen in the gracefully sculpted fiberglass
of each modern car that ventures forth from
their Italian facilities. Driving a Ferrari
is as close as many people will ever get to
the level of performance seen on professional
tracks around the world, and it has become
a form of communion for the souls who are
dedicated to both passion and horsepower.
