The meaning of the FERRARI S.F. Shield
History of the FERRARI Prancing Horse
The famous symbol of Ferrari, the black prancing horse, was originally the squadron symbol of famous World War I fighter ace Francesco
Baracca, who shot down 35 enemy aircraft before he himself was killed in an ariel duel in 1918. Legend has it that Baracca's father
gave Enzo Ferrari the insignia as a reward for winning a race at Savio Italy in 1923, as a symbol of Ferrari's bravery and skill.
It has since become the proud symbol of Ferrari's racing heritage, recognized the world over and has been displayed on nearly every
car worthy enough to bear his name... FERRARI !!!
Contrary to popular belief, SF does NOT stand for Society Ferrari. The 'S' stands for Scuderia which means stable. By extension, a stable of racing horses. By further extension, a racing team. In this case, Scuderia Ferrari.
Only about 12,000 308's in total were produced from 1975 to productions end in 1985. That's over a 10 year span. Ford sells about that many Mustangs (the prancing pony!) in roughly one month alone. Ferrari's, made in Italy, are all mostly hand built and that's why they are so expensive, such an investment and so rare.
