The Ferrari 125 S Enters the Region for the First Time Ever

Ferrari presents the Prancing Horse brand’s first-ever model to bear its logo, the Ferrari 125 S, to the Middle East for the first time this weekend. The pioneering and historical model that debuted in 1947 will be proudly displayed for Ferraristi during Casa Ferrari, the ultimate Ferrari lifestyle event.

Casa Ferrari will be held this weekend, from November 18th to the 20^th, at Yas Links, Abu Dhabi. It is a notable presence of the first-ever model in the year that also marks Ferrari’s 75^th anniversary.

The 125 S is known worldwide for bringing Ferrari its first racing triumph in 1947, marking the first milestone for the brand that subsequently claimed the most Formula 1 victories in history. The vision for the car came from Ferrari’s founder Enzo Ferrari, who commissioned Gioachino Colombo, the notable Italian automobile engineer, to design an utterly innovative car with the ambition of carving out an unparalleled sporting career.

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 removal 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 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 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 alongside the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix.

Casa Ferrari is in its third year in the Middle East. It brings clients from across the region to join together to share their love for Ferrari in an accurate 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 on Yas Island from November 21st to December 2nd, 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, displayed at the Al Tayer Motors Showroom from 5th to 14th December, delighting Ferrari fans old and new.
