FERRARI PARK AVENUE SHOWROOM IN NEW YORK SEES THE NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT OF THE
2008 612 SCAGLIETTI AND THE ONE-TO-ONE PERSONALISATION PROGRAMME
Ferrari officially premieres today in North America the 2008 612 Scaglietti, the
model used to inaugurate the new One-to-One Personalization Program of the
Company.
Ferrari intends to allow every client to fully personalise this flagship model,
courtesy of a wide array of new content as well as the options available through
the Carrozzeria Scaglietti Programme. In fact, a special dedicated "atelier"
area has been set up at the factory, where clients can put together their own
bespoke 612 Scaglietti accessory by accessory, detail by detail. In exactly the
same way as they would at an haute couture fashion house, owners can choose
details and materials they want for their car in consultation with the Ferrari
experts who will actually build it to their exact specifications and tastes.
Clients will be assisted in making their selections by dedicated Programme
consultants who can help them at every stage of defining their car's
specification.
All of these unique new 612 Scagliettis will be built in a dedicated assembly
area at the Maranello factory.
The 612 Scagliettis being used to launch the One-to-One Programme incorporate a
series of technical evolutions that reflect the Ferrari philosophy of constantly
introducing innovations in each model. Most notably, the V12 flagship now boasts
an electrochromic panoramic roof which covers the entire top of the cabin. The
electrochromic glass can be changed at the touch of a button to adjust the
levels of sunlight allowed into the cabin. This solution was developed in close
collaboration with Saint Gobain, a partner with whom Ferrari has most recently
developed a similar highly innovative solution for the Superamerica.
In addition to its electrochromic roof, the 612 Scaglietti also sports the aptly
named SuperFast gearbox which delivers an exceptional gear-shifting time of 100
milliseconds and a reduced inertia clutch to enhance the engine's responsiveness
still further. The iconic Ferrari manettino, now featured on the entire range,
has also been added to the steering wheel.
The Company's sporting history is represented at the Park Avenue Showroom by the
430 Scuderia, an extreme model voted "Dream Car of the Year" by the
authoritative British car magazine Top Gear.
Ferrari in North and South America
2007 was the 15th consecutive year of growth for Ferrari North America with
1,762 cars delivered in the United States and Canada and a further 90 in Central
and South America, amounting to 1,851 Ferraris altogether. This figure
represents 30% of Ferrari's total sales worldwide, making North America the
company's largest market. Sales were also up 8% on the previous year's figures
for the North, Central and South American market.
There are 45 dealerships in Ferrari's American network: 32 are in the United
States, 4 in Canada and 9 in South America.
The North American dealership network has invested $70 million over the last
three years in upgrading its infrastructure while a further $30 million will be
spent in 2008.
California is the largest of the North American markets, accounting for 27% of
sales. It is followed by North East (16%), Florida (11%), Texas (7%) and Chicago
(6%).
The leading South American markets are Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, Chile and
Argentina.
Ferrari North America enjoys an exclusive relationship with its clients and
enthusiasts, which has been further enhanced by the introduction of a vast range
of services and events over the last few years. These include the Ferrari
Challenge, which celebrates its 16th edition this year and offers F430 Challenge
owners no less than seven different opportunities to race their cars in the
course of the year.
In 2008 The Ferrari Challenge races will be held in Florida, Georgia, Northern
California (both at the Infeneon and Laguna Seca tracks), Quebec and New Jersey.
Since 2006 Ferrari North America has also been organizing the Ferrari North
America Driving School, which is based at the Mont Tremblant circuit in Quebec.
Course participants are given the opportunity to learn various driving control
techniques to ensure they fully enjoy their car at the peak of its performance
in an environment in which safety remains the absolute priority at all times.
Ferrari Financial Services was also introduced to the United States in July
2007. The company was created to acquaint Ferrari clients to a new world of
services, including but not limited to financing options, which utilize a wide
range of personalized flexible programs.
