INTRODUCTION
From a corporate point of view
This section introduces you to the heart of the company, focusing on
the men that represent Ferrari in the world and the on each
department of the Factory. Born in 1947, Ferrari has always produced
vehicles at its current site and has maintained its directions. It has
progressively widened its range using visionary planning both on a
design level and on the quality of work produced.
Working at Ferrari
Page 2 of 50
The selection process is detailed and precise – just what you might
expect from a company that depends on meticulous and
uncompromising attention to detail. Candidates are examined not only
on their professional, technical and academic excellence, but also for
their compatibility with Ferrari principles and values.
Formula Uomo
Ferrari knows that the best performance is only achieved if employees
feel empowered and appreciated. Ferrari also believes that the quality
of its cars cannot be separated from the lives of the people working at
the Ferrari plant. That's why the working environment and welfare of
the people working there are the most important priorities.

impact at every stage of the life cycle of our vehicles. Through this
commitment it has developed a global policy for the protection of and
respect for the environment through constant improvements in the
production process and the creation of products of increasing Eco-
compatibility.
Under the European Directive “End-of-life Vehicle Directive”
(2000/53/EC), Ferrari and its authorised dealers have taken steps to
ensure that vehicles that have reached the end of their life can be
disposed of with minimum environmental impact.
If you wish to return back your Ferrari end of life vehicle without
additional costs (except for those required by local legislations, like the
deregistration fee and eventual transport cost until the Ferrari dealer)
you may:
Contact the closest Ferrari dealer, that will then transfer the vehicle to
an ATF (Approved Treatment Facility), where available, in charge of
recycling and disposing of the vehicle in an environmentally friendly
way.
Obviously your Ferrari end of life vehicle must meet the following
conditions:
All significant components such as engine, gearbox, chassis, bodywork,
catalytic converters, wheels and electronic control units must be
present in the vehicle.
There must be no additional waste in the vehicle.
Ferrari, that is currently working to ensure compliance with the
regulation and convenience for its customers, thanks you for
supporting this environmental challenge.

3 classic cars
>Ferrari Classiche Department -
Ferrari Classiche was established specifically to provide restoration and
maintenance services, technical assistance and Certificates of
Authenticity to owners of classic Ferraris. Housed in the former Ferrari
foundry, the Classiche offices and workshop, which cover 950 square
metres within the Maranello factory, were officially opened by Ferrari
President, Luca di Montezemolo, in July 2006.
>Restoration-
Ferrari’s very first GT cars roared out of the factory in Maranello in
1948 and some 60 years on, the majority of these cars still survive.
Page 14 of 50
Their owners are naturally anxious that they remain in perfect working
order, safe and as thrilling to drive today as they were when they were
first built.
If any non-original mechanical parts are found, the car may still be
restored to its authentic condition as Ferrari can produce or supply
spares conforming to the original specifications and manufactured
using original designs and specialist machinery. The manufacture and
supply of original components is clearly an essential part of the
restoration and maintenance service provided by Ferrari Classiche to
help owners fully restore historic Ferrari models to their original
splendour
Page 15 of 50
road-going Ferraris over 20 years old and all Ferrari competition cars,
including Formula 1 single-seaters of any age. The Certificates officially
attest to the cars’ authenticity and also provide important
documentation for buyers should the certified vehicles ever be sold on.
Another advantage is that all certified cars are permitted to take part in
official Ferrari events including, for instance, the Shell Ferrari Historic
Challenge, which takes place in Europe and North America.

>Ferrari Gran Tour Milano Sanremo-
In 2011, Ferrari celebrates a hugely significant event, the 150th
anniversary of the Unification of Italy, with the Ferrari Gran Tour
Milano Sanremo
A genuine classic regularity trial that starts a few minutes before the re-
run of the Coppa Milano-Sanremo, first competed over a 100 years ago.
The latter event was launched in 1906 by the Gazzetta dello Sport in
collaboration with the Automobile Club di Milano, and is now a highly
prestigious classic regularity trial reserved for just 150 cars registered
between 1906 and 1981, and owned by collectors from 15 different
nations.
Page 16 of 50
The Ferrari Gran Tour Milano Sanremo, however, will run slightly ahead
of it and feature a large group of Ferraris built between 1982 and the
present.
It takes place between Friday 11th and Sunday March 13th and will
take in Turin en route. The cars will also pass through the countryside
and cities of Lombardy, Piemonte and Liguria, regions renowned for
their beauty, rich cultures, economic success, superb cuisine and fine
wines.
The regularity trial proper begins from Milan’s Duomo on the Friday
evening. The first stage takes the participants to Turin, Italy’s first
capital city. The following day they will set off again, this time bound for
the halfway point at Sanremo where they will stop for lunch. The cars
will then make their way though the entire Northern Riviera and its
hinterland, ending their day in Genoa.
The third stage will see them make the return journey to Milan for the
prize-giving ceremony and meal.
Page 17 of 50
On Saturday, the third and last day, the cars will drive on the famous
via Cassia to Siena with a check point on the main square where the
Palio is held, to Florence and the Piazza della Signoria, and on the Futa
and the Raticosa passes. In the afternoon the cars will arrive for
another special test on the Fiorano race track, after the participants
visit of the Ferrari Works. Later on the cars will drive towards Brescia
where a final show in honour of their participation will be held.

THE FACTORY
INTRODUCTION
Page 20 of 50
The primary alloy used (aluminium and silicon) reaches the foundry in
ingots and is checked by spectrometer to establish the composition and
percentage of the elements. After analysis, the alloy enters the casting
furnaces (two medium frequency induction furnaces with a capacity of
1000 kg/h, and one dry hearth gas furnace), and is then chemically
treated and modified. The next phase of founding involves artificially
degassing the alloy prior to passing it to (electric) holding furnaces
which keep it at a set temperature until casting.
Both techniques require the use of "cores", inner moulds which are
inserted into the shells and the sand moulds to create the internal
cavities of the casting. Production of certain types of engine may
require the use of more than 100 of these components. Once they have
Page 21 of 50
been emptied and cleaned of all the sand, the castings are cut and
trimmed, before being heat treated to obtain the required mechanical
characteristics.
To reach the high quality and reliability levels that are set by Ferrari's
engineers, the Light Alloy technology area checks all its castings visually
and with radiographic and fluoroscopic control apparatus. Hardness
and traction tests are also performed to certify the conformity of the
mechanical characteristics of the castings. This test uses scale models
that are cast together with the parts and which must pass yield point,
peak load and elongation percentage tests.
All these stages are performed in one of the most advanced aluminium
alloy casting plants in the world. A modern construction built in 1993
and developed around the requirements of the staff who work in an
environment that is unusually cool, clean and quiet.
Page 22 of 50
Once checked, the car undergoes a rigorous road and track test where
the smoothness of the gear changes, road-holding and brakes are all
verified.

Gestione Sportiva
The central Gestione Sportiva building is home to all the Formula 1
departments including General Management, headed by Stefano
Domenicali. Also in the building is the Direzione Sportiva, Logistics, the
Controllo di Gestione, Human Resources, the Purchasing Office and the
Information Systems department. The Chassis Department and the
Engine Department are also based here, along with the planning and
technical offices. The second building is where the Engine Assembly
departments, the Transmission department, and the Hydraulics and Car
Mounting departments are found. This is also where the single-seaters
are assembled and started up before being taken out on the test track.
The final building is where engines under development, and those just
assembled, are tested.
Mechanics
The Gestione Sportiva's Mechanics team produces all the mechanical
parts of the chassis and engines for the Formula 1 cars, in particular,
the transmission and cooling systems. All the parts produced here are
checked thoroughly and then mounted on the single-seaters.
Logistics
Situated between the Fiorano circuit and the GES base, Logistics is
responsible for making sure the team has everything it needs to
compete in an F1 Grand Prix. Thirty tons of materials, 90 technicians,
mechanics and other personnel have to be transported to and from
Page 25 of 50
F1 Wind Tunnel
In 1998 the Wind Tunnel opened. Designed by one of Italy’s leading
architects, Renzo Piano, it can be used with 65% scale models and full-
size models.
The Wind Tunnel is equipped with the most modern system of data
acquisition, both analogue and digital, and a sophisticated system of
measuring wind force. The wind is generated by a 2,000 kW fan
Page 26 of 50
Fiorano Circuit
Fiorano Circuit was constructed in 1972 on a site close to the Maranello
factory.
The track, equipped with a closed-circuit television system, telemetry
and chronograph, is used for testing Ferrari F1 single-seaters, GT cars
and Maseratis.
The track length was originally 2948.50 metres; in 1996 a new chicane
was added and its length extended to 2976.41 metres.
The Fiorano designers wanted to reproduce various features of the
tracks used on the World Championship tour. The chassis is put through
its paces on the bends, and there is a 'steering pad' for tyre
development. In 2001 and 2002, the circuit was fitted with a unique
irrigation system that can completely wet the track in just a few
minutes and absorb much of the surface water. The asphalt has also
recently been upgraded with Cariphalite Grand Prix Bitumen,
developed by Shell, which guarantees maximum grip and optimal
drainage.
In the past, the central building housed the offices of Enzo Ferrari.
There are still offices there today and, in the loft space, a gym where
the drivers can work out. There is also an 80-seat stand and a secure
garage area, so the squad can carry on working in all weathers.

its glass walls, which create an air of transparency, where ideas and
individuals can move freely to create the Ferraris of the future.
Restaurant
Designed by Marco Visconti, the new Company Restaurant marks a
departure, in terms of architectural expression, from the geometrical
precision of the surrounding buildings. The main structure shields the
interior from direct sunlight, and the corrugated steel covering creates
natural ventilation.
The complex is arranged over three levels. The covered piazza on the
ground floor overlooks Viale Enzo Ferrari and gives workers a place to
meet and socialise. A training centre and the kitchen, with a calming
hanging garden, are on the first floor.
The top floor is home to the light and bright dining area, with vast
arched windows, adding to the sense of space. The furniture is
designed by Cappellini, and is laid out in islands to allow people to
gather in groups. As much attention is put into the dining experience as
into the environment, with a focus on quality ingredients, menu variety,
and service.

2004 saw the completion of the Galleria Ferrari's extension, which adds
a new 800 square-metre, two-storey structure to the existing building.
The new section houses themed exhibitions, a shop and a café.

Marketing strategy
Ferrari North America is a myth and a legend in the automotive
industry.
The Ferrari tale is one of an astounding and unique worldwide success.
An unparalleled one.
Ferrari success cannot be measured in terms of revenues and sales, or
in terms of market capitalization. Ferrari never made an IPO and is not
even quoted in any stock exchange market. Ferrari success has to be
measured only in terms of Brand Value and Product Value.
Probably the Ferrari brand is worth more than the Google brand, the
Apple brand, Nike, GE, IBM, BMW, Mercedes, Exxon, Shell, or any other
brand.

CONCLUSION
All racing fans are very familiar with the famous Ferrari "prancing horse" symbol.
The famous symbol of Ferrari is a black prancing horse on yellow background,
usually with the letters S F for Scuderia Ferrari.
When you're talking about machines built for speed, they don't get much faster or
sexier than those from Ferrari. Founded more than 60 years ago, the Italian brand
has secured a berth at the top of the heap with its high-dollar, high-performance
Page 46 of 50
sports cars.
. It has progressively widened its range using visionary planning both on a design
level and on the quality of work produced.
In 2004 Ferrari’s annual sales reached over two and a half billion dollars. Ferrari is
known for its world class production and ultra high performance. They are sold at
dealerships all over the world from Virginia to California, and Europe to South
America. Some Ferrari’s are priced well above $500,000 because the brand is
known for its unmistakable quality. Everything from the one of kind engines to the
genuine Italian leather seats put the Ferrari in an automobile class of its own. The
name Ferrari is a huge marketing tool all by itself because it is synonymous with
quality. Ferrari is also a strong reason why Formula One racing has become a sport
watched around the globe. Formula One has held numerous racing events in Italy
that over time had brought in millions of dollars to the economy and made Italy a
hotspot for racing car fans from around the world. This was the original idea that
Enzo Ferrari envisioned when he first established his car making empire. Ferrari’s
partnership with Formula One is not the only business dealings Ferrari has with
other multiple billion dollar corporation. There has been a long standing
partnership between Ferrari and the Shell Corporation. Shell test new gas additives
and oil ideas on some of the Ferrari cars and also provides gas and oil for the
Ferrari race team. Some of Shell’s most efficient gasoline has been a direct
outcome of the partnership between Shell and Ferrari. Other aspects that make
Ferrari one of the most powerful brand names in the world is the fact that it has
internally managed many other products such as clothes, watches, eyewear, and
even perfume while taking advantage of its famous logo which is a prancing horse
Page 47 of 50
in front of a yellow shield. Ferrari has even gone as far to have an official
magazine that consists of numerous subscribers from all around the world. Ferrari
was also number one in 100 Best Workplaces in Europe by the Financial Times in
2007.
Finally would like to conclude that Ferrari has reached great heights because of its
services, quality of product and customer relationship.
Top managers and the best working conditions are the basic elements of Ferrari's
strategy today.
A town in northern Italy, near Bologna, Maranello has been home to Ferrari since
the 1940s. At more than 250,000 sq metres, the factory's 45 buildings house more
than 3,000 workers. It is here that passion, innovation and technology combine to
create the company’s GT and Formula 1 cars.
Ferrari has always been choosing the best possible partners to reach its goals in
terms of excellence and highest quality in the production of Ferrari road cars.
As a sign of gratitude and recognising the surplus value added to the results
achieved by the Company, Ferrari established a prestigious award: Il Podio - the
Podium - which has been presented since 2001 to those suppliers, who stand out in
terms of quality and excellence.
Page 48 of 50
Since 2001 the Podio is the event dedicated to Ferrari’s suppliers and technical
partners, where the companies, standing out thanks to their excellence, innovative
capacities and product development - in partnership with the Prancing Horse -
receive an award.
The value of a great company can also be found in the capacity to choose excellent
partners, able to guarantee and preserve the fundamental properties Ferrari needs to
plan and build every single model.
When you're talking about machines built for speed, they don't get much faster or
sexier than those from Ferrari. Founded more than 60 years ago, the Italian brand
has secured a berth at the top of the heap with its high-dollar, high-performance
sports cars.
It has progressively widened its range using visionary planning both on a design
level and on the quality of work produced.
