LaFerrari Premiered In France  What better setting than the
Grand Palais in Paris for LaFerrari, named the queen of cars by
its Italian automaker, to make its debut on French soil?  The
new special limited edition car from Maranello was a magnet
during its premiere April 22, the opening day of the Tour Auto
Optic 2000.  Around 250 special interest cars are taking part in
the event which wends its way through the streets of France
until April 27 and they were all at the Grand Palais to
celebrate the LaFerrari.  Amongst them some older supercars that
are part of the prancing horse history.  Enrico Galliera,
Ferrari’s Commercial and Marketing Director, pulled the wraps
off the first hybrid car produced in Maranello, which was also
the star attraction at a gala cocktail held the same evening for
over four hundred customers.  The automaker describes its
LaFerrari as the best example of technology, exclusivity and
passion ever built by Ferrari.
