Ferrari’s Famed F1 Race Car to Make Special Pit Stop at Award-Winning Dealership

SEATTLE, Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — It’s fast times in the Emerald City. Ferrari of Seattle has announced it has been named “Ferrari Top Dealer- World Champion 2013.” For taking home top honors, the local Seattle dealership will receive a congratulatory visit from one of Ferrari’s famed Formula 1 racing cars in early 2014, which be on display for public viewing.

The award was announced at the Ferrari World Dealer Convention in Maranello, Italy and dealership co-owner Tino Perrina was on hand to accept the honors. The Ferrari of Seattle dealership edged out more than 220 dealerships around the world to earn the honors, which are based on a combination of factors including sales volumes, market penetration, client satisfaction and local marketing initiatives.

Established in 1999, the Capitol Hill-based dealership has consistently performed well among the Ferrari network. In addition to the Top Dealer honor, Ferrari of Seattle’s Mark Glenwood was also recently named as the number two Ferrari technician in the world, based on challenges in both practical and theoretical tests. In 2011 the dealership was awarded another prestigious honor, “Top Dealer in North and South America.”

“We are very proud of what we’ve accomplished, and getting a local visit from a Ferrari F1 is truly something special,” said co-owner Roberto Perrina, who has worked with his brother at the family-run dealership since its inception. “This F1 underlines Ferrari’s incredible racing DNA and will be a rare opportunity to view the car up close and personal at our dealership.”

The car will be on display in the Ferrari dealership, which is currently undergoing a renovation and once complete, will include a redesigned showroom, a high tech car configuration room where clients can select customizations onsite and more. Final dates and viewing details for the Ferrari F1 visit will be unveiled in March. Stay up to date with the latest information at www.ferrariofseattle.com or www.facebook.com/FerrariofSeattle.
