Enzo Ferrari (Book)

Why it’s on the list: The full-length life of the man who built Ferrari — 954 pages on how a racing obsession became a company.

First published in Italian in 2016 as Ferrari Rex; the English edition (David Bull Publishing, 2018) runs 954 pages across 49 chapters. Filed as “(Book)” so the short name stays free for a person page.

Where I saw it: @rywigs on X, April 18, 2026, showing off a librarian agent he built to index every book mentioned on Acquired: “Ferrari episode is stocked: Enzo, Go Like Hell.”

Connections

• Go Like Hell — the other book from the same Acquired episode; the Ford side of the same rivalry.
• Acquired — the podcast whose Ferrari episode surfaced both titles.
• Company Building — a founder-operator whose product and identity were the same thing.
