Seventy years ago the first Ferrari hit the streets of Maranello, Italy for a test drive. It was the 12-cylinder 125 S, the first to bear the name of Enzo Ferrari, and, naturally, the company wants to celebrate.

Ferrari is planning events in more than 60 countries to celebrate the anniversary, giving the company’s rabid fan base a chance to join in the festivities.

Along with a video re-creating the first time the 125 S rolled out of Ferrari’s modest garage, the company has published a website commemorating major achievements from Ferrari’s last 70 years — everything from Formula One wins and championships to the release of iconic vehicles like the 250 GTO, the F40, and the Enzo.

This year at Pebble Beach Ferrari will be having a special display of over 70 iconic Ferrari's on the First Tee and will be moving the Casa de Ferrari to that Pebble Beach location. There will also be a rally to San Francisco immediately following the Monterey Car Week for top clients and a special event on August 26th, stay tuned.
