Sunday 2nd March 1947

Enzo Ferrari drove the first 125S vehicle out of the factory gates. Like the 815, it was a racing sports car, but unlike its Fiat-powered 8-cylinder predecessor, the 125S featured a V12 engine (the “125”), a trait it shared with most Ferrari cars of the following decades. The 125S was the first vehicle to bear the Ferrari name when it debuted on May 11, 1947 at the Piacenza racing circuit.
