"Embattled behind his steel fence, Enzo Ferrari broods, makes cars and issues orders." Wheelbase visits the Ferrari factory at Maranello in Modena, Italy. There, the 72-year-old former racing driver Enzo Ferrari, and his talented staff of designers, engineers and mechanics, make arguably the world's most famous sports cars. What is it about this man, this city and these workers that make Ferrari such an enduringly iconic car? Clip taken from Wheelbase, originally broadcast on BBC Two, 27 October, 1970.

About Wheelbase

In both road and rail vehicles, the wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels. For road vehicles with more than two axles, the wheelbase is the distance between the steering (front) axle and the centerpoint of the driving axle group. In the case of a tri-axle truck or bus, the wheelbase would be the distance between the steering axle and a point midway between the two rear axles.
