He was a former racing driver who moved on to building racecars, Enzo Ferrari established himself in the automotive field as one of the most successful car builders in history. Prized for their speed, elegant design, and handcrafted quality, Ferrari automobiles, such as the Berlinetta Boxer, the F40, the Testarossa models, the Daytona, and the Dino models, have been elevated to legendary status, symbols of Italian finesse and artistry. Most Ferraris are considered genuine works of art, and are treated as such. Several models have been placed on exhibit in museums including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy, which produces about 3500 vehicles per year, is one of the most visited factories in the world.
