A voyage of discovery to the Indian subcontinent for two 612 Scagliettis

Having conquered China and the Americas, Ferrari embarks on a new adventure

Maranello, 21st February 2008 - Ferrari is delighted to announce the start of a new Prancing Horse adventure, the Magic India Discovery Tour, which gets underway from Mumbai on February 25th and returns to the same city on May 8th having covered a route stretching more than 11,000 kilometres. The car featured in this tour is the 612 Scaglietti, Ferrari's flagship GT model. Two of these gorgeous Prancing Horse berlinettas will embark on the voyage which comes in the wake of the China 15,000 Red Miles tour completed in 2005 and the Panamerican 20,000 tour of 2006, both of which were hugely successful. Ferrari is offering a total of 50 journalists from across the world the unique opportunity to take turns behind the wheel of a V12-powered 612 Scaglietti in the course of the 12-stage 72-day voyage of discovery of the delights and richness of India. The journalists will explore this fascinating country which combines modernity and tradition. India is currently enjoying an exciting period of rapid economic growth and a boom in its advanced technologies sector yet remains rooted in the traditions of its ancient culture. This is a nation in which innovative infrastructure exists side by side with areas of completely unspoilt natural beauty.
Of course, Ferrari isn't new to this kind of marathon voyage. Its last such adventure was the Panamerican 20,000 tour during which two 599 GTB Fioranos travelled from the beaches of Brazil to the East Coast of the US, taking in tropical rain forests, arid deserts and snowy peaks as they traversed an entire continent. In 2005, we staged the spectacular Ferrari 15,000 Red Miles tour when two standard 612 Scagliettis covered an incredible 24,000 km route through China in what was a first for any automotive constructor anywhere in the world. To mark our 50th Anniversary in 1997, a F355 completed a round the world tour that took in the five continents with no less than 147 journalists from the various nations visited, taking turns behind the wheel.

The route and main stages
The Magic India Discovery is divided into 12 stages and runs over 72 days. It starts in Mumbai at the Gateway of India, a monument celebrating the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to the country. The two 612 Scagliettis will immediately head south along the stunning eight-lane motorway that is the jewel in the crown of Indian's infrastructure. The first stage ends in the city of Goa, now a popular tourist destination once ruled by the Portuguese. The tour continues still further south to Mysore and then Trivandrum, the southernmost point of the Indian peninsula, before turning north towards Bangalore, the capital of India's innovative technologies industry. Hyderabad and Ramosi, home to the Bollywood film industry, provide the backdrop to a stage that ends in Vizak on the coast of the Bay of Bengal. The 612 Scagliettis will then drive along the east coast to the city of Kolkata (Calcutta), once the headquarters of the legendary British East India Company.
The cars' journey along the river Ganges begins from Calcutta and runs via Varanasi, a sacred city to Hindus, and Khajuraho, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its Hindu and Jain temples. From here, the tour makes its way to Lucknow also known as the Golden City of the East. The next stage takes the Ferraris through the Corbett National Park and Tiger Reserve named in honour of the former man-eater hunter Jim Corbett. The tour then continues on towards New Delhi, following a northerly route to the Dharamsala, home of the exiled Dalai Lama, and Amritsar, the centre of the Sikh religion. The next stage runs from the Indian capital to the city of Jaipur, taking in Agra where the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan built the one of the seven wonders of the modern world, the Taj Mahal, as a monument to his dead wife in 1632. The final two legs of the tour take the cars through all of the most famous areas of Rajasthan which is home to endless palaces built by the Maharajas and also calls to Jodhpur, the final stop-off before the cars make a triumphant return to the India's industrial capital. The Magic India Discovery will enjoy the invaluable support of the Tata Group, Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy Services, Taj Hotels, Shell, Fiat India Pvt Ltd., Alcoa, Pirelli, Saima Avandero and OMR.
Assistance and spare parts will be provided by eight support vehicles: five Tata cars, two Fiats and one specially fitted-out Iveco truck. In addition to the journalists (who will be kitted out in Ferrari khakis and colonial-style hats provided by Borsalino) driving the two 612 Scagliettis, a photographer and video camera operator, the tour will also be accompanied by a technical assistance and logistics team for its entire duration. The www.ferrariworld.com and www.media.ferrari.com websites will feature constantly updated news and high resolution images of the tour as it unfolds.

The cars

The two 612 Scagliettis (one red, the other white, both sporting a specially designed livery) will feature a few absolutely minimal modifications to allow them to negotiate the more difficult tracts of the tour.
The modifications involve the fitting of an underbody protector made from 4 mm duraluminium rather than plastic and a slightly higher suspension setting to deal with the tougher road surfaces. Otherwise, however, they will be entirely straightforward production cars powered by a 540 hp 65° V12 engine that delivers maximum torque of 60 kgm at 5250 rpm. Both cars will be fitted with a six-speed F1 gearbox and Transaxle transmission.
The 612 Scaglietti continues Ferrari's long tradition of excellence in the 2+2 segment. This innovative car offers the perfect combination of thoroughbred Ferrari berlinetta performance and exceptional comfort for four occupants. The 612 Scaglietti is the very first all-aluminium 12-cylinder to be built by Ferrari. The use of aluminium for the chassis and bodywork combined with sophisticated production and assembly technologies have cut overall body weight by a massive 40% and greatly improved torsional rigidity. The 612 Scaglietti's near-perfect weight distribution (46% front and 54% rear) mean that it offers the blistering performance of a rear-engined car yet the comfort and roominess of a front-engined model. The 612 Scaglietti is also a wonderfully dynamic car to drive thanks to its CST traction and stability control system which guarantees superb performance in complete safety. Its 65° V12 engine represents the pinnacle of Ferrari's engine technology too and punches out 540 hp at 7250 rpm. Although clothed by Pininfarina, the 612 is named in honour of Sergio Scaglietti, the Modenese coachbuilder who, in the early years of Enzo Ferrari's extraordinary adventure, bodied some of the most beautiful cars ever to emerge from Maranello.

After months of speculation by Indian fans, rumour will become reality tomorrow as two Ferrari 612 Scagliettis set off from Mumbai on an 74-day Magic India Discovery tour, supported by long-time technical partner, Shell.

The 13,000-kilometre road trip, which will navigate India in an anti-clockwise direction, is the fourth in a string of successful Gran Turismo tours developed by Ferrari to expand the Prancing Horse brand beyond its traditional fan base. As with previous endeavours, Shell is on board as a major supporter and will stage several special events along the way as testament to the strong technical partnership that exists between the two companies.

Shell Global Sponsorship Manager, Regula Bleuler will join the tour: Shell is thrilled to be supporting the Ferrari Magic India Discovery tour. Our technical partnership with Ferrari is one of the oldest and most well-known in Formula One, but what is often overlooked is the depth of this relationship. Ferrari also uses Shell V-Power road fuel and Shell Helix Ultra motor oil in the development of engines for its magnificent GT cars, such as the 612 Scaglietti.

During the tour, the two Ferraris will make guest appearances at Shell events in Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Delhi. At each location, Shell customers, employees and partners will be able to experience the unique sight and sound of this glorious flagship model first-hand. The special livery is sure to turn heads across the country.

Over 60 Years of Shared Passion for Performance

As early as the 1930s Shell was helping Enzo Ferrari go racing, so it was a mark of esteem when Shell was chosen to supply fuel and oils to the company he founded in 1947. Today, Shell plays an integral role, analysing and developing products for Ferrari racing and road cars, with the aim of transferring learning to Shell road products.

Ferrari provides Shell with a cutting-edge test bed for product development, explains Shell Technology Manager for Ferrari, Dr. Lisa Lilley. But we also share a common design philosophy. Neither party is willing to accept the status quo - we both seek to push the boundaries of development. This definitely creates an exciting working environment!

Shells activity with the Ferrari Gran Turismo department is wide-ranging, covering fuels, engine lubricants and transmission fluids. The demanding performance engines provide a perfect testing ground for changes and improvements to Shell road products. Ferraris approval and endorsement is an important quality target. In return, Shell provides Ferrari with equally important insight into fuel and lubricant development trends so that its cars, which by nature have a longer lifespan than conventional cars, will run at their optimum level on the products of tomorrow.

Shell V-Power road fuel

Recently, our technical partnership with Ferrari contributed to the development of Shell V-Power road fuel, says Dr. Lilley. We use Ferrari to test new technologies under the most extreme and controlled conditions. Knowledge is then transferred into our commercial programmes, to ensure our customers always benefit from the latest advancements. The latest version of Shell V-Power road fuel contains an advanced Friction Modification Technology. Targeting the piston rings, the technology is designed to help the engine turn more freely, unlocking valuable energy and helping improve horsepower. Formulated with powerful cleansing agents, the fuel is also designed to help prevent power-robbing deposits from forming on inlet valves and injection systems, with the aim of enhancing responsiveness.

Shell Helix Ultra motor oil

Engine oil is critical, Dr. Lilley explains. The lifeblood of the engine, its job is to help keep the engine clean, protect the moving parts from mechanical wear, reduce friction and power loss, and to cool the engine. Shell Helix Ultra contains active engine cleansing agents to help prevent the build-up of dirt to ensure optimal engine performance. Shells deep technical partnership with Ferrari is an essential part of its overall design and development strategy. A combination of Shell V-Power road fuel, Shell Helix Ultra motor oil and other products like Shell Spirax gearbox oil and Shell transmission fluid, give all Shell customers, including Ferrari, a complete package of engine care.

Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata and Fiat Group Vice Chairman John Elkann flagged away the two brightly liveried Ferrari 612 Scaglietti sports cars this morning as the 11,000 km Ferrari Magic India Discovery Tour got underway in Mumbai.

The Ferrari Magic India Discovery Tour will be divided into 12 stages and will run over the next 72 days. It started off this morning in Mumbai at the Gateway of India, a monument celebrating the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to the country. After being waved away the two 612 Scagliettis immediately headed south along the stunning eight-lane motorway that is the jewel in the crown of Indian's infrastructure.

Accompanying the two Ferrari 612 Scagliettis, which have received only minor modifications to prepare them for the arduous two-and-a-half month journey ahead, is a fleet of eight support cars, made up of a mix of Tata Safari and Fiat Bravo models, which will ferry the 50 journalists taking part. The C-segment Fiat Bravo is making a high profile appearance on the Ferrari tour ahead of its launch in the Indian showrooms next month.

"This will be a unique challenge for us as India is a fantastic country," said Ferrari spokesperson Davide Kluzer at the start. "The Indian elephant logo for the drive and the Ferrari's prancing horse will be joining forces." The first stage of the Ferrari Magic India Discovery Tour will end in the city of Goa, now a popular tourist destination once ruled by the Portuguese.

However despite the tour Ferrari are unlikely to enter the Indian market anytime soon and this high profile event is being regarded as an image building exercise. When Ferrari do arrive in India it is expected that Tata Motors will be involved in the importing and distribution of the Italian sports cars. "We are carefully looking at the Indian market and for partners, so the company is not ready to make any announcement," said Kluzer. "We won't be entering the market either this year or in 2009, probably in the next three years. Our plans for India would also depend on how we can decrease our global waiting list for our cars."

He also added that an Indian market presence will depend on Ferrari being in a position to satisfactorily manage demand and waiting list times: "We never go for figures, our goal is not to go for volumes but to deliver a unique and emotional driving experience to our customers."

"Magic India Discovery"

The main objective of this type of trip is to offer journalists the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari in an unusual context that would also be attractive and interesting to readers and TV viewers.

After our very positive experience with the "China 15000 Red Miles" and "Panamerican 20000" tours, our objective with India would be to associate Ferrari's most luxurious and expensive model, the flagship 612 Scaglietti, with the most noble part of the country both in terms of traditions and religion (particularly palaces, temples and other locations representative of the extraordinary history and beauty of this country and its new life). This tour will serve also to introduce the Ferrari brand to India and Indians, even though Ferrari itself has no plans to make a major entry onto the Indian market in the short term.
Likewise, the tour will boost the international image and profile of a country that is becoming an important international player yet remains relatively unknown.

Don't forget, for instance, that Ferrari employs significant number of Indian-born computer engineers at Maranello and we're sure that this message can be passed on in a positive manner.

The reference targets are journalists from the main world car markets. These will be leading international automotive and lifestyle titles as well as various TV stations. The latter must be treated with caution to avoid creating conflicts of image as a result of the contrasting aspects of life in India: as with the other tours, Ferrari must itself take care of the video footage and photography so that it can select the images to be used and avoid our message being skewed in any way.
