Ferrari 125 S

The Ferrari 125 S, also called the 125 or 125 Sport, was a 1.5 litre sports car built in 1947 by Ferrari in Modena, Italy, and was the company's first vehicle; only two were made. Enzo Ferrari's 1940 Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 had come before it, but the 125 S was the first car to carry the Ferrari name, debuting on 11 May 1947 at the Piacenza racing circuit. Unlike the 815, which was partly developed from Fiat parts, it used an engine Ferrari designed and built, Gioacchino Colombo's 1.5 litre 60 degree V12 of 118 bhp, a trait shared with most Ferraris of the following decades. It had a steel tube frame, double wishbone front suspension with a transverse leaf spring, a live rear axle, hydraulic drum brakes and a five-speed gearbox. It won six of its fourteen races in 1947 and was replaced by the 159 S later that year.
