The idea of owning a Ferrari is considered as the ultimate statement by many in India, even by those who do not own a car. People in India have got a glimpse of Ferrari only in F1 races. True Ferrari cars come with FI gearbox and superb power, but that is for those who can afford its fantastic price as well.

There were rumours that the car will arrive in India by 2008, through its parent company Fiat. But the idea was shelved due to some reason. The company chose to get a first hand feedback on Indian terrain.

Thus was born the Magic of Discovery of India. The Ferrari’s Magic Discovery of India has completed its course of over two months in India. The two 612 Scagliettis covered a total of 13,000 kilometers in over 70 days. Started in Feb last week it reached its last destination the Taj Hotel in Mumbai on May 8. Similar event were conducted in 2005 under the name China 15,000 Red Miles tour, the Panamerican 20,000 tour in 2006 and last year’s 60th anniversary around-the-world relay. The event was supported by Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy Services, Taj Hotels, Shell, Fiat India Pvt. Ltd., Alcoa, Pirelli, Saima Avandero and OMR.

The cars have come back with lot of stories to tell. We hope that most of them are positive.
