Travels in Italy--Modena (Part 2 of 2)

Our visit to Modena continues.

Modena is home to a Ferrari museum, the Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari.  (The nearby town of Maranello is home to another Ferrari museum.) 

In 2017, Ferrari is celebrating 70 years of manufacturing high-performance cars.  (Enzo Ferrari began building race cars years before, but regular production started two years after WWII ended.)

The Ferrari museum in Modena is located in two buildings: the former workshop of Enzo Ferrari's father Alberto and an adjacent ultra-modern building.  When we visited, we the saw the exhibition "Driving with the Stars", which included models driven by Steve McQueen, Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton.

The Engine Museum:  The old Ferrari workshop is now home to a collection of engines.  Over the years, the engine became more and more powerful.

A visitor seems confused:  "How does this hybrid motor generate nearly 1,000 HP while reducing emissions by 40%?"  

The "Error Museum":
