ferrari museum pictures
I figured I'd share some pictures I took this summer from the ferrari museum in maranello.
The town of maranello is awesome...everything is ferrari. Ferrari restaurants, tons of shops that sell classic ferrari memorabilia, factory workers walking around in ferrari uniforms, and more often than not the sound of ferraris tearing up the streets and Pista di Fiorano. Even the museum itself exceeded my expectations. At the time they were making 599s so there were a good bit of em driving around. Got video of a guy getting on it while driving by...sounds incredible.
Superamerica...on the way to the v12 room...pictured below
Now upstairs...felt like a little kid...got to see my favorite ferraris...each one for the first time. You first walk in...and have a 360 GTC.
Then a GTO
Then...my favorite ferrari...an F40
...and an F50.
Then you would walk through more engines on display...and they had an Enzo
after that we rolled out...went and saw the front of the factory. You have to be invited to tour it.
They had a ferrari body shop...with tons of parts laying out back.
and of course...farrari's own racetrack
and some more pics
another shot of the enzo
billboard next to the enzo dedicated to jamiroquai and his ferrari. had the video for cosmic girl playing next to it on a plasma screen (pretty awesom video)
more f1
more engines
1987 f1 engine
forget which year...hi hp turbo on it though
single cyl test engine...290cc...60hp
one of the first...or perhaps the first 12 cyl ferrari engine.
the new ferrari 12...in the enzo and new 599
another thing too which was cool...they had a quote from enzo ferrari put up on one of the walls...worth putting up on here:
"We all know that money is usually leant to those who do not need it. It is a common banking practice. And I had very little to offer in the way of collateral. In Modena, however, I found a small bank named after the town's patron saint, San Geminiano, with a different approach. From time to time they would lend on the borrower's presumed entrepreneurial skills, rather than on his wealth and assets. I just happened to arrive at one of those times."
