Ferrari: Most Powerful Brand Of 2013
Brand Finance, a London, U.K based brand and asset valuation company has come out with a report evaluating all the major companies of the world and has positioned Ferrari at the top, giving it the "Most powerful brand of 2013" title.
The evaluation was done based on "financial metrics such as net margins, average revenue per customer, marketing and advertising spend as well as qualitative measures such as brand affection and loyalty," reads the announcement. In the light of Ferrari's latest achievement let us have a look at, what we think, are the some of the most amazing Ferraris ever.
Ferrari 250 GTO: Manufactured in early 1960, the 250 "Gran Turismo Omologato" has the distinction of winning the World Manufacturer's Championship in 1962, 1963, and 1964. This Ferrari was also featured by Motor Trend Classic in its "Greatest Ferraris of all time" list.
Ferrari 250 TR: The Testa Rosa is one of the most expensive Ferraris ever, with a 1957 TR going for an amazing $16.4 million during an auction last year. The Testa Rosa also boasts of three Le Mans wins during the years 1958, 1960, and 1961.
599 GTB Fiorano: The 599 was first introduced in 2006 and over the next six years its different variants were recognized for not just their beautiful design, but also for the immense power the V12 engine brought with it. The 599 GTB was named the Car of the Year and Supercar of the Year by Evo and Top Gear magazines respectively.
Ferrari 458 Italia: The Ferrari F430 successor can be counted among the most beautiful cars ever. The car's sleek and curvy looking design won it many awards in 2009 when it was launched. This includes Car of the Year, Supercar of the Year and even Cabrio of the Year for the spider version launched in 2011.
Ferrari F12berlinetta: Launched last year at the Geneva Motor Show, the F12berlinetta succeeds the 599 GTB. While it is more powerful than the 599, it is also relatively very fuel efficient, managing to achieve 18mpg. Meanwhile, the design pays tribute to Ferrari Dino from the 1970s.
Ferrari Enzo: A list relating to Ferraris is incomplete without mentioning the Enzo. Launched in 2002 as a tribute to its founder Enzo Ferrari, the Enzo was one of the more technologically advanced supercars when launched, featuring F1 technology. Not surprisingly, the car has won numerous awards over the years, but interestingly, the Enzo also featured in Bloomberg Businessweek's "Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years"
Ferrari FXX: Only one thing can be better than the Enzo and that is the Enzo derived Ferrari FXX race car. Part of Ferrari's FXX program owners of the FXX can only drive it at special track day events held by Ferrari. The FXX was lapped around Top Gear's racetrack by Michael Schumacher, where it managed to complete the lap in just 1:10:07.
