Ferrari Delivers its 500th Car in China

We don't intend on being mean or anything, but seriously now, does this guy look like he just received a brand-new Ferrari 612 Scaglietti OTO that was delivered to him personally by the Scuderia's Formula One driver F1 Felipe Massa? We swear that the last time we saw a facial expression like this was from a fella who was asking us to buy him dinner. Who knows, maybe it was because Mr. Lu bought the Ferrari as a birthday gift for his wife... -Continued

But whatev. Fact is that Mr Lu who is president of a well know Shanghai investment company happened to be Ferrari's 500th customer in China since it formally established operation in the country in August 2004. Mr Lu took delivery of the blue 612 Scaglietti at a special ceremony during the Shanghai GP F1 week held in the Italian automaker's Shanghai showroom.

The ceremony was attended by Jean Todt, President of the Board of Directors of Ferrari Asia Pacific and Marco Mattiacci, CEO of Ferrari Asia Pacific, along with more than 60 journalists from all over China.

Mr. Mattiacci commented, "With over 60% of market share in the luxury sports car segment and through various creative customer relationship programs, Ferrari has established a solid loyal customer base in China and become increasingly popular. The number '500' not only demonstrated what the prancing horse has achieved in China but also indicates the beginning of a new journey, when Ferrari will speed up its pace in this market."
