Enzo’s dream for the 125 S focused on the heart of the car, with a 12-cylinder engine that delivers all the power and performance required for ultimate success. The engine’s moniker, 125, references the unit displacement; 125 multiplied by 12 gives the overall displacement of the engine 1,500cc. ‘S’ stands for sport, reflecting the car’s first of six wins in 1947 the 125 S went on to deliver, which occurred during the 40-lap Rome Grand Prix on May 20th, driven by Ferrari’s legendary first racing hero Franco Cortese.
The 125 S will be standing alongside its stable-mates at Casa Ferrari, with a look through the Prancing Horse’s history being displayed at the weekend. Classic cars from the 125 S right through to the newest 296 GTB and 296 GTS will be on show at the prestigious event held alongside the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix. Casa Ferrari is in its third year in the Middle East and brings clients from across the region to join together to share their love for Ferrari, in a true representation of the Italian lifestyle and heritage.
After the conclusion of Casa Ferrari, Ferrari’s first-ever car will be on display at UAE’S most popular theme park Ferrari World Abu Dhabi in Yas Island from 21st November to 2nd December, to give UAE residents and tourists alike a glimmer of Ferrari’s rich history and synonymity with victory. The car will then make its way to Dubai, to be displayed at the Al Tayer Motors Showroom from 5th to 14th December, delighting Ferrari fans old and new.
