History of the Ferrari 125 S
The Ferrari 125 S was manufactured in 1947 and was the first official Ferrari. For the first time a car wore on its hood the now famous emblem of the **Rampant Cavallino**. Its designers were Gioachino Colombo, Giuseppe Busso and Luigi Bazzi.
Like the [Auto Avio 815](//car-design.idoneos.com/ferrari/auto_avio), the 125 was also conceived as a racing car. While wearing Spider's _S_ , he was a spider for competition. This is demonstrated by the following fact: the 125 was carrying the first 12-cylinder engine developed by Ferrari.
The Ferrari 125 debuted in competitions in May 1947 in the town of Piacenza. The Italian vehicle took a short time to get ready, as by the same year it would win 2 competitions. The first victory came at the Grand Prix in Rome with Franco Cortese as a driver. The second victory gave in the Forlí circuit, this time with **Tazio Nuvolari** as a driver.
