The exhibition features a range of Ferraris owned by women and details the exploits of those who drove them.

Women and Ferraris came about as a result of a collaboration with the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, Italy.

The event is known as Il Rosso & Il Rossa in Italian.

A rare 166 Berlinetta Le Mans is one of the vehicles on display.

The exhibition is running until the end of August and is open to all visitors who buy tickets to the theme park.

If the breakneck speed of Ferrari World’s roller coasters seems a little too much for you, but you still like the cars and their history, a new exhibition at the theme park is an equally exciting ride.

Titled Women and Ferraris — The Untold Story, known in Italian as Il Rosso & Il Rossa, the space reveals the contributions made to the Prancing Horse brand by female racing drivers, owners and fans.
