Ferrari Tipo 500
Driven by a number of legendary drivers, including Alberto Ascari who won the world championship in both 1952 and 1953, the Ferrari Tipo 500 was praised for its excellent handling and acceleration — as well as its reliability and durability. It was powered by a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that produced around 185 horsepower. The Tipo 500 featured a tubular chassis and a lightweight bodywork that made it one of the most nimble and agile cars of its time. Memorably, the Tipo helped establish Ferrari as a dominant force in the early years of Formula One, and it remains a classic of F1 history.
