Pics: India gets its first Ferrari California in Mumbai

Fireblader85 · 13th May 2009, 18:57

The first Ferrari California has landed right here in Mumbai. I heard it is imported by a VVIP for himself. He had the car flown down from Italy to Mumbai and air freight cleared here. It is a LHD but it is already registered as we speak.(There are exceptions) Here are a few pictures I received from Mr agent4ferrari.

How does one register a LHD in India? Have the rules changed?

Money power.

Seems to be a rather silly thing to do, IMO. Buying a LHD car in India.
Never liked the looks of the Cali that much.

To be honest I've seen better. Wonder who has ordered this package.

Wow! India's got itself a California.!!He sure has guts to drive that LHD thing through Mumbai traffic..anyways the Cali's bum is too big.

theragingbull · 13th May 2009, 21:33

The California looks gorgeous especially with the top down! But LHD!Why?!? What would be the overall price of the car?

nitrous · 13th May 2009, 21:38

This IS Ratan Tata's car, ain't it?

theragingbull · 13th May 2009, 21:44

I think Mr.Tata has got that much brains that he wouldn't buy a LHD! This couldn't be his ferrari.
