The Heritage Invitational at Ten Tenths Motor Club will showcase a rare gathering of Ferrari’s most celebrated halo cars from the personal collection of NASCAR team owner and renowned collector Rick Hendrick, a partner in Ten Tenths Motor Club.
On display: the 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO, 1992 Ferrari F40, 1996 Ferrari F50, 2003 Ferrari Enzo and 2015 LaFerrari — five icons spanning three decades of performance, innovation and design.
The big picture:
Ferrari’s flagship supercars are rolling laboratories — each born from racing, each pushing the limits of its era. Together, they represent a lineage of engineering ambition that traces its roots to the same spirit of experimentation and mechanical artistry that defined pre-war automotive ingenuity.
THE LINEUP
1985 Ferrari 288 GTO
- Why it matters: Ferrari’s first modern “supercar,” it reignited the GTO name
- Power: 2.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 producing approximately 400 horsepower
- Performance: 0-60 mph in about 4.9 seconds; top speed around 189 mph — extraordinary for the mid-1980s
- Legacy: The 288 GTO’s lightweight composite body and turbocharged powerplant signaled Ferrari’s return to cutting-edge performance engineering. It echoes the experimental competition cars of the 1930s, when innovation often outpaced regulation.
1992 Ferrari F40
- Why it matters: Built to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary and the last model personally approved by Enzo Ferrari
- Power: 2.9-liter twin-turbo V-8 rated at 471 horsepower
- Performance: 0-60 mph in roughly 3.8 seconds; top speed exceeding 200 mph
- Legacy: With extensive carbon fiber, Kevlar and Nomex, the F40 was a lightweight statement of speed. Its stripped-down, competition-focused ethos mirrors the single-minded engineering of pre-war Grand Prix machines — purpose-built and unapologetically mechanical.
1996 Ferrari F50
- Why it matters: A Formula One car for the road
- Power: 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V-12 derived from Ferrari’s 1990 F1 engine, producing 520 horsepower
- Performance: 0-60 mph in about 3.6 seconds; top speed around 202 mph
- Legacy: Featuring a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and pushrod suspension, the F50 showcased direct technology transfer from racing to road. That philosophy traces to the early decades of motorsport, when advancements in competition rapidly shaped production automobiles.
2003 Ferrari Enzo
- Why it matters: Named for the company’s founder, the Enzo represented Ferrari’s new millennium flagship.
- Power: 6.0-liter V-12 delivering 651 horsepower
- Performance: 0-60 mph in approximately 3.1 seconds; top speed around 217 mph
- Legacy: The Enzo integrated advanced aerodynamics and materials science, much as pre-war innovators embraced supercharging, lightweight alloys and wind-tunnel experimentation to gain competitive edges.
2015 LaFerrari
- Why it matters: Ferrari’s first hybrid production car and the most powerful road car in the brand’s history at launch.
- Power: 6.3-liter V-12 paired with an electric motor for a combined 949 horsepower
- Performance: 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds; top speed in excess of 217 mph.
- Legacy: By pairing electrification with a naturally aspirated V-12, LaFerrari demonstrates that innovation is the throughline of automotive progress.
WHY IT FITS THE HERITAGE INVITATIONAL
The Heritage Invitational celebrates the artistry, engineering and cultural impact of the automobile — from brass-era pioneers to modern hypercars. While these Ferraris are products of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, they embody the same relentless experimentation that defined pre-war marques such as Alfa Romeo, Bugatti and Mercedes-Benz.
WHAT ELSE TO EXPECT
The Heritage Invitational is more than a concours display. It is a full-throttle weekend of motorsports and social experiences at Ten Tenths Motor Club.
Friday highlights include:
