Get ready to rev your engines! Have you ever wondered how the fastest, most famous sports cars in the entire world were created? Zoom into the incredible true story of Enzo Ferrari! Long before he was building blazing-fast race cars, Enzo was just a boy who loved the loud, popping roar of car engines. Did you know he actually started out putting horseshoes on stubborn army mules during World War I? It's true! Discover how Enzo went from having no money and test-driving clunky trucks, all the way to becoming a champion racer. You will find out the amazing secret behind Ferrari's famous prancing black horse logo (hint: it comes from a brave fighter pilot's airplane!) and why almost all of their legendary cars are painted bright "racing red"! From the very first 130-mile-per-hour Ferrari roaring to life in 1947 to building the second-fastest rollercoaster on Earth at Ferrari World, this episode is packed with pure speed. Join Mira and Finn as they buckle up and explore how one man's massive dream created the ultimate racing team!
