With the latest Great Characters edition, Montblanc pays homage to the life and legacy of Enzo Ferrari, the Italian racing driver, entrepreneur and founder of the Scuderia Ferrari, and subsequently the Ferrari car company. The same passion for craftsmanship and innovation that defines the Ferrari brand has been applied in the Montblanc workshop to create several editions of writing instruments that tell the story of an exceptional racing champion and technical maverick who led his company to unparalleled prestige and created a legend that lives on up to the present day.
Every design detail of the new Great Characters Enzo Ferrari Special Edition evokes the performance and character of this pioneer of speed and automotive engineering.
