Guests experienced the full power and handling of the acclaimed Ferrari 488 GTB and California T.
Eager guests gathered for the exclusive Ferrari Esperienza test drive event at the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, (Al Husn) Muscat on Sunday.
Hosted by Alfardan Motors, the official importer of Ferrari in the Sultanate, distinguished guests and prospective owners were treated to a scrumptious brunch before revelling in the opportunity to experience the full power and handling of the acclaimed Ferrari 488 GTB and California T, along one of Muscat’s stunning mountain routes. The experience commenced with a detailed briefing on vehicle performance, handling and innovation conducted by professional Ferrari instructors flown in from Maranello, Italy especially for the event.
Following the briefing, guests were afforded the pleasure of partaking in the legendary Ferrari DNA experience, behind the wheel of two of the Prancing Horse’s finest models.
Recently launched in Oman in September 2015, the 488GTB boasts of a new 3,902 cubic centimetres turbo engine, which is coupled with a seven-gear F1 dual-clutch gearbox featuring Variable Boost Management that optimally distributes torque (a maximum 750 Nm in seventh gear).
The 488 GTB guarantees exuberant performance that is absolutely exploitable to the fullest, regardless of driving conditions and is accompanied by a deep, seductive soundtrack, the signature of all Ferrari engines.
The Ferrari California T epitomises the sublime elegance, sportiness, versatility and exclusivity that has distinguished every California model since the 1950s.
Sprinting from 0 to 100km per hour (km/h) in 3.6 seconds flat and from 0 to 200 km/h in 11.2 seconds, the California T is a brilliant expression of Ferrari’s sporty DNA, while it’s retractable hard top (RHT) and 2+2 configuration, amongst other features, make it supremely versatile.
Like all Ferraris, the California T boasts cutting-edge technological solutions that make it absolutely unique, most notably the new turbocharged V8 engine.
Since opening its first showroom in 2012, Alfardan Motors has provided world-class service to a growing number of luxury car and motorcycle clients in Oman.
