We see the underside of a Ferrari as an inspection is carried out. Carmine Sessa, a classic car expert, talks about the Spider model and the Daytona model, which was built in a limited quantity, almost exclusively for the American market. Fun "fact": Some say the yellow color was named Fly, standing for "Ferrari Light yellow." The color was suggested by Fiamma Breschi (a close friend of Enzo Ferrari's).
