Santogal Ferrari Madrid customers had the opportunity to take an exceptional trip to Maranello. Where the Ferrari headquarters and the dream factory are located.

Attendees were able to visit the Maranello factory and test drive the Roma Spider on the first day. With its performance and timeless elegance, the Ferrari Roma Spider reinterprets the Italian style of the 50s and 60s in a contemporary key. The great novelty of this spider, which takes up the proportions, volumes and technology used in the concept already seen in the Ferrari Roma, lies in the removable fabric roof, a solution that returns to the Prancing Horse's front-engined range 54 years after its appearance on the 1969 365 GTS4. As a good Ferrari, it has a top level of performance thanks to its V8 engine and an aluminium chassis with a number of modifications, such as the rear axle which is inspired by that of the Portofino M; the windscreen is also changed, with more rigidity. The gearbox that manages power to the rear wheels is an eight-speed DCT. It is operated via a module located behind the multimedia screen and features gear ratios reminiscent of those used in manual gearboxes.

At the end they enjoyed a private visit to the Ferrari factory, where they were able to learn about the artisanal process of manufacturing Italian models. The evening ended at the Cavallino Restaurant, a benchmark of Italian gastronomy with a menu prepared by Massimo Bottura, 3 Michelin stars.

The original Ristorante Cavallino building, located on the boundary between the Ferrari factory, the Gestione Sportiva department and the new Flagship Store in Maranello, has undergone a thorough refurbishment process that has transformed it into an oasis of flavours, relaxation, discovery and entertainment. All enriched by a unique collection of memorabilia and unique pieces rediscovered in the company's historical archives and displayed to the public to relive the Ferrari legend in the various rooms of the restaurant, the garden and the terrace.

The following morning the guests returned to the Fiorano track to drive the new Ferrari 296. The Italian hybrid model, an evolution of Ferrari's two-seater mid-engined rear mid-engined sports berlinetta spider, benefits from the new 120° V6 engine coupled to a plug-in electric motor (PHEV), already seen in the 296 GTB, capable of delivering up to 830 hp. The car thus redefines the idea of driving fun by guaranteeing pure thrills not only when seeking maximum performance, but also in everyday driving.

A trip that will remain in the memory of the guests.
