Making his way into motor racing in the aftermath of the Great War, Enzo Ferrari proved to be a useful racing driver in his own right but then quickly applied his entrepreneurial flair and charismatic personality to running his own team, the Scuderia Ferrari, which achieved so much success with Alfa Romeos during the 1930s. In the aftermath of the Second World War, he returned to the sport with magnificent V12-engined cars bearing his own name and very quickly achieved unparalleled success in Formula 1 and sports car racing, while also building supreme road cars. In this landmark book, distinguished author Doug Nye explores the life and achievements of this enigmatic man with over 400 accompanying photographs, many not previously published.

• Early years: aftermath of the Great War, budding racing driver and Alfa Romeo employee, then emerging as shrewd businessman.

• Scuderia Ferrari: his own team, first racing Alfa Romeos for wealthy clients, then ‘quasi-works’ cars, achieving considerable success through the 1930s.

• Second World War: doing well from industrial production of machine tools – and surviving a contract assassination plan.

• Rapid emergence of his own Ferrari marque post-war: six consecutive Mille Miglia wins from 1948; first Le Mans win in 1949; double World Champions in 1952–53.

• All-round racer: at his autocratic and spectacular best through the pinnacle years in the 1950s and 1960s – then rescue by Fiat from near bankruptcy.

• Advancing years: racing focuses on Formula 1 and road-car manufacture shifts from exotic boutique production to significant volume.

• Final years: on top of the world with new models, and even higher personal status as Italian elder statesman and national icon.
