Do i have any chances of becoming like Enzo Ferrari?

I know this sounds very crazy.i saw the ferrari factory and i was wondering if i could become like the business man who makes them(Enzo Ferrari).im not a millionaire.But still do i have any chances of becoming like him.If i try to make sports car like Ferrari's will anyone buy them if they look good and fast?i know ferrari are the most popular cars in the worl|||If you make were good at making cars, there is one thing that you must do to match Ferrari. And that is attention to detail. Ferrari makes their cars out of the best materials on the planet. You just cant drop a big engine in and call it a sports car.|||If you make a sports car that people would sell, you would get rich.





Look at the guy who made Scion. He went to Toyota for help and Toyota decided to make the Scion brand and make Scion cars. That was in 2002.





And now Scion tC is one of the best sellers in North America.


So it is possible if you can get a billion dollars to make a new car.|||Enzo undoubtedly grew up as a millionaire. It takes money to make money. Get some schooling and you'll kick his a$$ in the end.|||Aything is possible if you apply yourself and are passionate about what you do.





Lorenzo Ferrari started racing cars and being a mechanic back in the 20's. He didn't start his own car brand until after WWII when he was in his 50's.





He was not born to a rich family, I have no idea why someone answered that. But anyway, that's not important. The man had a passion for what he did, and it was his career and hobby. He made Alfa Romeo one of the most respected brands in the racing community as a driver and then as a racing team manager all through the 1930's. The point here is that when he started his brand, the man had already EARNED a lot of fame in the automotive world, kind of like a Roger Penske today.





One of his biggest qualities was that he was a clever businessman and a showman. He surrounded himself with the best enginerring and design talent he could muster around Italy and other parts of Europe, and the rest is history. He was the front man for the comapny bearing his name, and he added a mystique to his brand by purposely making it exclusive. If you weren't form a certain promenance or wealth, he wouldn't pee on you if you were on fire. This is why his brand became so coveted by wealthy people who don't know a stick shift from a hole in the ground. (If there is something that pisses off a type alpha personality, is dangling a carrot in fornt of them that they can't have...) The racing heritage portion took care of itself with his managing expertise.





Today, that attitude is still caried on by Luca Di Montezemolo. If you want to buy a new Ferrari, and have never owned one, they encourage you to buy a used one, in order to get into the "club". The new ones are already spoken for by the loyal owners and collectors every year. And they have to wait between 12 to 18 months to get theirs!
