It began with a grand rally of Ferraris travelling in unison from the Naza Italia Showroom in Kuala Lumpur to Penang’s UNESCO World Heritage site. As one of the largest of its kind held locally, the rally provided an unforgettable driving experience for participating Ferraristi, not to mention other travelers on the road that caught sight of the supercar convoy. The Ferraris arrived to a delighted crowd of awaiting Ferrari enthusiasts and an auspicious lion dance. The 50 Ferraris then lined up in an impressive formation along Jalan Padang Kota Lama, just in front of the Penang City Hall. Ferrari owners were treated to a variety of sumptuous local fare from hawker stalls specially set up on site for the occasion.

During an elegant gala dinner at Fort Cornwallis, the limited edition LaFerrari Aperta – the special series model launched to mark Ferrari’s 70th Anniversary, was introduced. This exclusive and historical venue made for a fitting location at which to mark such a prestigious occasion.

During the course of the evening, guests enjoyed a dance performance, serenades by a live band, and later in the evening were also entertained by a DJ. Several cars of Ferrari’s yesteryears, including the Ferrari 328 GTB, Ferrari Mondial & Ferrari 348 were displayed on the grounds, as a nod to the Cavallino Rampante’s past.
