Iconic cars to keep an eye out for
There will be a range of iconic cars on display at the Design Museum, which will be the main attraction. If you decide to visit Ferrari: Under the Skin, these three cars are must-sees:
Ferrari 125 S
The Ferrari 125 S is the car that started it all. Enzo Ferrari technically founded his car company in 1939. However, this was the first vehicle produced under the Ferrari name in 1947. The car on display is a replica built 40 years later. However, it still offers a good starting point to compare just how much things have changed.
Ferrari F1-2000
This Ferrari F1-2000 racing car is by far the most iconic vehicle on display in London. It is the exact vehicle that Michael Schumacher drove as he raced towards his third World Drivers’ title in 2000, which helped to re-establish Ferrari as a dominant force in motorsports.
