Ferrari 125 S

Common card · No. 431055

The Ferrari 125 S (commonly 125 or 125 Sport) is a 1.5 litre sports car built in 1947 by automaker Ferrari in Modena, Italy. It was the company's first vehicle, of which only two were made. Although preceded by Enzo Ferrari's Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 of 1940, the 125 S was the first vehicle to bear the Ferrari name when it debuted on 11 May 1947 at the Piacenza racing circuit. Like the 815, but unlike its inline-8 predecessor, partly developed from Fiat engine components, the 125 S featured a Ferrari designed and built engine; the Colombo V12 (the "125"), a trait it shared with most Ferrari cars of the following decades. The 125 S was replaced by the 159 S later in 1947.
