You step out onto the square in front of the Ferrari Museum with a pulse of red all around—badges, banners and the low rumble of high-rev engines that seem to breathe the town’s history. The road ahead threads between the factory buildings, past the wind tunnel and opens into gently rolling countryside where the car’s power meets long straights and tight, country bends. Expect sightlines framed by cypress and cultivated fields rather than alpine cliffs, and the unmistakable mechanical voice of a performance car pushing through the gears.
