Ferrari has a long racing history that dates back to 1929, but the company didn't start producing street-legal vehicles until 1947. The mere mention of the word Ferrari evokes thoughts of super high-performance sports cars with sleek performance-oriented designs. The high-pitched revs released from the powerful mid-engine sports cars are one of the most beautiful sounds in the automotive world. The upcoming Ferrari California will be the first ever Ferrari car to offer a front-mounted engine, automatic transmission and power retractable convertible top.
