Hi all,

On some Ferrari's i've seen a badge on the front quarter panel. Typical to most Ferrari signa's but this one has a C an a J beneath the prancing horse.. WHAT on earth do those letters mean???????? :ugh:

[Stradale]

Its SF - Scuderia Ferrari. The F may look like J.

Post the image here and we'll solve it for you.

 

[360 Spyder]

You mean this one?

 

[basman]

Well I've tried really hard, but I can't make a C out of that S :-?

Maybe it are the initials of someone (my mom has her initials next to the Arbarth sign of the Fiat)

Hi all,

Thanx to everyone who replied so far, your answers are what was needed. YEAH!!! That one.... I musta confused the S with a C. WHAT does scuderia mean anyhow? THanx to anyone who solves this puzzler.

[Dj Dirk]

scuderia is italian for racing stable or race team nowadays

 

[Rosso]

Yeah, Dirk explained it. It's Ferrari's racing emblem. The Scuderia Ferrari.

 

[Stradale]

By tradition, this badge is only applied by the factory to cars that are "special" - Ferrari F1 cars, track cars, track & road cars like the 250 GTOs and the limited series such as 288GTO, F40, F50, Enzo and now Challenge Stradale.

But the marketing department had seen it fit to offer the badge as factory options on all their production cars. So that's why the badge is quite common now.

It would be nice if there were some things (such as this) that money couldn't buy, do you agree Stradale?

 

[Stradale]

I do, absolutely.

 

[mchferrari]

I myself prefer the Shields.

 

[Spasso]

In case you run across any other Italian words and need to know the meaning try this site. This is where I went to find my name, Spasso.
Just scroll down the L/H menu to find the function you want. It's rather fun to see what the Italian equivelant is for some of your favorite words.
