The Life of Enzo Ferrari
By: Ethan Wernz
My Thesis Statement
In 1947 Enzo Ferrari changed his life
forever.
Enzo`s Life and Death
• He was born in Modena, Italy
• He died on August 14, 1988
• He was 90 years old when he died
His Inspiration
• When he was little he saw Vincenzo
Lancia battle Felice Nazzaro in the 1908
Circuit di Bologna.
• After a couple more races he too knew he
wanted to be a racing car driver.
• If he never became a racing car driver he
probably would have never started the
business.
The Ferrari
• The first Ferrari was made for track and
road.
• Built with four over head camshafts and
for valves per cylinder.
• It was a 12 cylinder racing car.
His Buisness
• He started his company in 1947.
• The company was called Scuderia Ferrari.
• Enzo was devoted to the creations of racing cars
and performance sports cars.
• The horse logo started in 1929. It was right after
a big race and a veteran pilot told him that the
horse brings him good luck so it might do the
same thing for Enzo.
• It turns out that it did and Scuderia Ferrari was a
very successful business.

Conclusion
• Enzo had a very successful and long life.
• He started out with big dreams and little education.
Then it ended with a very big business and lots of
money.
• “But each time I seemed to be climbing into a roller
coaster and finding myself coming through the
downhill run with that sort of dazed feeling that we
all know.” – Enzo Ferrari
• This roller coaster feeling is what made him change
his life forever because he loved the feeling of
driving in a race car so he decided to make the
Ferrari.
