The first car to carry the combined Alfa Romeo name was the Torpedo 20-30 HP in 1920.	The company carries the surname of its founder, Enzo Ferrari. The name was first used for the racing team Scuderia Ferrari in 1929, and the company adopted the Ferrari name in 1945 after operating as Auto Avio Costruzioni because of a noncompete agreement with Alfa Romeo.
