    When was the fist Ferrari built?

    Question #27045. Asked by prancing horse. (Jan 25 03 2:09 AM)


    Kainantu

    1947

    But one might consider it to be 1935

    Is the 1935 Alfa Romeo Bimotore, the first Ferrari?
    Although every inch an Alfa Romeo, the Bimotore was the brainchild of Enzo Ferrari and Luigi Bazzi, one of Ferrari's engineers at Scuderia Ferrari. In the early 1930's, Scuderia Ferrari had been delegated the responsibility for running the Alfa Romeo racing operation. Indeed, it is said that the 1935 Alfa Romeo Bimotore is the very first car to carry the now famous prancing horse insignia of Scuderia Ferrari on its flanks and above the Bimotore's valentine heart-shaped grille work.
