Hello, My name is Connor and I love cars! Most of life so far i spent obsessed with cars. I fell in love with at the first car show I ever went to but now we're 3 sentences in and still off topic so let's dig in shall we? Enzo Ferrari is my hero!

Enzo's life was hard as a child. growing up in Modena, Italy. His father and brother died, forcing Enzo to drop out of school and get a job at a workshop. But his real inspiration was the first race he ever witnessed. Later in life Enzo worked at C.M.N as test driver, than later as a racing driver. So as you can see Enzo was very inspired by racing - he won entire championships!

Later he got a job at Alfa Romeo. When he left Alfa he founded the car company Ferrari! Where he fulfilled his dream of designing a V12 engine. He picked the V12 because it was suited for all kids of cars! From one seaters to street cars.

Now that you know about his story we will talk about why he's my hero. He's my hero for many reasons:  he grew up tough only to live a great life, he's optimistic and, of course, he's one of the greatest car makers of all time!

Ferrari was a great, even though the last car he was involved in was the F40 in 1987. He inspired a whole company that's still making cars today and no matter what he'll always be my hero! There's just so much he's done and so many he's inspired. Of course, me being one of them!!
