Ferrari
Why the red brand is unique in the history of world sport
There are brands that make cars. And then there is Ferrari. Founded in 1947 by Enzo Ferrari in Maranello, Scuderia is the only team to have participated in every Formula 1 season since 1950. It embodies a passion for racing that has no equal in the history of sport.

The origins
Enzo Ferrari, the man behind the legend
Ferrari was not born from a business strategy. It was born from the personal obsession of a man who wanted only one thing: to build racing cars.
Enzo Ferrari started as a racing driver in the 1920s before realizing his true talent was creating cars for others. Scuderia Ferrari, founded in 1929, was originally a racing department of Alfa Romeo. It was only in 1947 that Enzo built his first car under his own name: the Ferrari 125 S, powered by a V12.
Enzo Ferrari was known for being uncompromising, obsessively passionate, and sometimes harsh in his relationships with his drivers and engineers. But this obsession produced something unique: a company culture entirely dedicated to performance, where beauty and speed never exclude each other.
"I sell cars to finance my passion for racing"
Enzo Ferrari never hid that road cars were for him just a way to finance the racing team. This vision, often seen as strange from a commercial point of view, paradoxically created one of the most desired brands in the world: Ferrari buyers know they are funding something bigger than a car.

Ferrari in Formula 1: the most successful, most consistent team and the only one to have never missed a season since 1950.

The Michael Schumacher era at Ferrari between 2000 and 2004 is one of the most absolute dominations in sports history. Five consecutive driver championships, with a team built around the champion by Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne, and Jean Todt. A racing machine of formidable efficiency.
The Ferrari culture
More than a brand, a religion
Ferrari is one of the few brands in the world whose fans identify as deeply with the racing team as with the road cars.
Maranello: the pilgrimage
Every year, tens of thousands of enthusiasts from around the world make a pilgrimage to Maranello, the small village in northern Italy where Ferrari was born and still produces its cars. The Ferrari museum and factory tour are experiences fans describe with the same solemnity as a visit to a holy site.
Fervor beyond sport
The Tifosi, Ferrari fans, form a global community that transcends nationalities, generations, and social classes. They share the same color, rosso corsa, the same passion for racing, and the same pain during difficult seasons. Ferrari is the team of those who believe passion justifies everything.
Red
One color, one identity
Ferrari red is one of the most recognizable colors in the world. Its history is as old as international car racing.
Rosso corsa, racing red, was the color assigned to Italy during the first international automobile competitions in the early 20th century. Each country had its color: green for Great Britain, blue for France, silver for Germany, red for Italy. Ferrari simply inherited this tradition and made it its absolute identity.
Red as a shared signature
The red #c40202 of the Carrera Café is reminiscent of the intensity of rosso corsa. Both worlds share a philosophy: excellence should not need to be discreet. A strong color, an assumed identity, a passion expressed without apologies. This is the spirit of Carrera Café, and it is the spirit of Ferrari.
Passion as a way of life
The Carrera Café universe celebrates the brands that have made passion a philosophy. Ferrari is one of them. Come share this tribute in Petit-Champlain.
