The evening sun, already slowly setting in the sky, shone over the transformed courtyard of Maranello Motors. Guests at Piazza Ferrari were amazed to see the wonderful tent structure, which transported them into a modern dining setting. The glass roof offered the perfect view of the sunset, and romantic lighting created an Italian flair.
Beautifully presented pre-owned vehicles lined the courtyard, inviting guests to discover the Ferrari model range and the countless configuration options. When the managing director welcomed the 120 invited guests, even he didn't know what to expect. They were invited to an extraordinary dinner. And that's exactly what it turned out to be. After Klaus Kordt finished his speech, the unmistakable, goosebump-inducing V8 sound, the kind only Ferrari can create, roared through the courtyard and captivated the guests. In a lovingly designed show of light, fog, and music, a tailor-made Ferrari 488 Spider was presented, the likes of which is unique. And at the end of this breathtaking presentation, the team led by star chef Thorben Schuster served the first of four courses of a modern Italian menu, creatively dedicated to the vehicle and its configuration.
Three more of these brilliant presentations awaited the guests, each followed by a further course of the menu. The weather also made its grand entrance. As if at the push of a button, the conditions changed, and a storm raged across the scene. Thanks to the elaborate setup of the event, this did not dampen the spirits – and certainly did not dampen the exuberant mood of the guests. The lovingly presented pre-owned vehicles, combined with the extraordinary culinary experience, generated thunderous enthusiasm among all present and created unforgettable moments.
