The Birth of Ferrari Classiche
Ferrari’s excellence is expressed through its history and heritage in motor racing, as well as its legendary road cars. Icons of bold, unmistakable design, Ferrari automobiles are destined to be enjoyed and marveled at throughout time and for generations to come.
Most Ferrari vehicles produced from the company’s inception still exist today. This is in part due the thoughtful care bestowed on them by their owners, and the highly skilled Ferrari experts that maintain their authenticity and keep them in excellent running condition.
Since 2006, Ferrari Classiche has supported the worthwhile initiative of restoring, maintaining and protecting the invaluable heritage of the Prancing Horse.
The World of Classiche
A Ferrari Classiche owner not only has the pleasure of driving a rare, or sometimes one-of-a-kind car, he also gains access to exclusive activities organized by the company designed to fit the specific type of car in his collection. This unique great passion is shared in the worldwide celebration of the anniversaries of the most iconic cars, in direct participation (or in support of) the most prestigious events of classic motoring such as the Le Mans Classic, Historic Grand Prix of Monaco, Mille Miglia and Targa Florio, in the organization of dynamic events aimed at the use of the cars in extraordinary situations, and in elegant competitions put on by Ferrari and other organizations.
Ferrari Classiche Restoration
THE PROCESS
Since the beginning, Ferraris have proven themselves to be special cars, synonymous with mechanical refinement and cutting-edge technology, and devoted to the pursuit of maximum performance and driving pleasure.
With that in mind, special safeguards and care are required in order to preserve the unique characteristics that distinguish a Ferrari from every other car.
Two key parameters with great impact on performance, reliability and road safety are: Correct maintenance and Compliance with the strict standards set only by Ferrari.
THE SPECIALISTS
These standards of excellence can only be respected through expert and specialized Ferrari Classiche centers.
Here, every Ferrari vehicle is attended to by specialists who possess the knowledge, experience and equipment required to provide state-of-the-art service, thus maintaining and even enhancing its value, in full compliance with the parameters set by the Ferrari factory.
Subject cars receive the Classiche Workshop Maintenance Manual, which contains a record of the state of the mechanics and body, and the vehicle’s conformity to the information in the Certificate of Authenticity. These parameters are reassessed over time through careful annual checks.
THE COMPONENTS
The Ferrari Classiche certification process includes a technical examination of the originality of the various mechanical components — the primary factor establishing the vehicle’s authenticity. Any parts that do not correspond to the original specifications are replaced with spare parts offered by Ferrari and its official partners, to restore the car to its original condition.
The service is not limited to the most common spare parts. If necessary, Ferrari Classiche can create castings identical to the originals and also provide structural parts.
Restoration Service
The restoration of a historic Ferrari is a complex operation that can only be performed at Maranello. The complexity derives from a very particular design philosophy connected to the need to win on track.
This is why Ferrari offers its customers a restoration service that aims to preserve the legacy of these vintage racing cars. The company archives contain all the detailed information for each car produced, relating to each component used in its assembly. By virtue of this approach, all cars have always benefited from solutions ahead of their time, making extensive use of special and innovative materials.
Workshops
Ferrari Classiche has further expanded and improved its service by providing Classiche services in selected Ferrari workshops outside of the Maranello factory.
Like Maranello, these service centers are highly specialized, capable of providing both routine and extraordinary maintenance, inspection and drafting of the preparatory documents for program certification.
Certification & Authentication
The certification candidate will only be deemed authentic if inspections performed by Ferrari show that all the following components are original and in working order:
- Chassis
- Engine
- Gearbox / Transmission
- Suspension / Brakes / Wheels
- Bodywork / Interior
During the certification process, the car will undergo a thorough and rigorous examination by Ferrari experts to ensure that all criterias are met.
