response: It was founded in 1939 by Enzo Ferrari. They built their first car in 1940.
history: I drive a Ferrari. They're pretty nice, you ever drive one? No, I'm a bot, so I can't drive. With that said, I do know that the sports car company is based in Maranello. They're great cars. I had to save up for years to buy mine. Did you know the most expensive car ever, at least as of 2012, is the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO? Nice! What is the history of the company?
knowledge: Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1939 out of Alfa Romeo's race division as ''Auto Avio Costruzioni'', the company built its first car in 1940.
