Overview

“Every detail on the car is an art piece as far as I’m concerned.”

—Ralph Lauren, Designer

 

“To Mr. Chinetti, a car was a Ferrari. There was no other car. If they weren’t Ferraris, they were just contraptions.”

—Sam Posey, Artist

 

“Maranello is still a village, it’s still Maranello; it’s not New York or Rome, and so our link with the territory remains very strong.”

—Luca di Montezemolo, Chairman, Ferrari S.p.A.
