In an exhilarating exhibition featuring more than $30 million of its iconic sports cars, Ferrari have spared no expense to showcase the very best of the iconic 86 year old Italian supercar manufacturer.

“We are delighted to be bringing more than 2,000 square metres of Ferrari engineering, design and passion to Melbourne, including our most ambitious project to date, LaFerrari, which boasts the greatest performance ever achieved by a Ferrari production car,” said Herbert Appleroth, CEO of Ferrari Australasia.

“Surrounding LaFerrari will be a uniquely Ferrari experience featuring 30 years of Ferrari supercar history, a stunning Ferrari showroom with the latest range of Ferrari road cars, and our Ferrari Kids Zone with interactive displays, racing simulators and slot cars.”

Limited to only 499 vehicles, LaFerrari boasts an incredible 789-horsepower 6.3-liter V12 engine capable of revving to 9,350 rpms. All of this adds up to a 0 to 100 kph time of under 3 seconds. With the aerodynamics of a Formula 1, the unique HY-KERS hybrid drivetrain, and Ferrari’s signature design aesthetics, LaFerrari is a truly incredible showcase of Italian automotive engineering.

“The Ferrari experience at the festival is going to be something that no Ferrari fan in Australia will want to miss,” said Australian Motoring Festival Event Director Kylie Wood.

“Ferrari is committed to showcasing the very best they have to offer at the event, on a scale you won’t be able to find anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere. With the Ferrari Kids Zone, historical Ferrari exhibit and the latest model road cars on display, there will be something on offer for Ferrari fans of any age.”
