The Ferrari F40: Enzo's Last Stand
Show Notes

This one's from the vault- but updated and re-recorded with new details!

The new film "FERRARI" looks at Enzo Ferrari in the middle of his life, when the company he built was only ten years old. But the story of his final days is worth a new look.


Enzo Ferrari built his machines to race and win- and they became the world's most renowned sports cars, coveted by the rich and famous.

But when he lost full control of his company in 1969, the cars slowly began to lose their competition-bred character.  He decided to do something about it.

Near the end of his life, Enzo Ferrari ensured the creation of  the raw, uncompromising, 200 mile per hour F40- and he trusted one man to help him.

This is the story of Enzo's last stand.
