Today has seen the
arrival at the Ferrari headquarters of the four students
from Tsinghua University for the internship programme
financed by Ferrari with the proceeds of the unique
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano China Limited Edition auctioned
in Beijing last November. The exclusive Ferrari 599
decorated with Song Dynasty Ge Kiln pottery patterns and
was designed by Chinese contemporary artist Lu Hao was
auctioned for 1.2 million euro. The students from
Tsinghua University’s Department of Automotive
Engineering were selected as the best of their course to
undertake the five-week internship in Ferrari.
The programme, organized by Ferrari in collaboration
with the Politecnico di Milano, will involve three
groups of students from the prestigious Chinese
University for the next three years. This initiative
reflects the importance given by Ferrari’s founder, Enzo
Ferrari, to investing in young talents and research, an
approach further encouraged and developed today by
Chairman Luca di Montezemolo.
Over the coming weeks the students will follow the
development process and production of a Ferrari at the
factory in Maranello. They will work closely with a team
of Ferrari engineers to understand the creation process
behind building a Ferrari car and this will give them a
unique insight into the company’s heritage, innovative
processes, exclusivity, and brand DNA. This concrete
part of the programme is closely associated to the
academic semester they attended at the Politecnico di
Milano.
On their first day in Maranello, the students were taken
on a complete tour of the headquarters, visiting the
design department, the mechanical workshop, the assembly
lines, the Gestione Sportiva racing division, Formula 1
Clienti and the Galleria Ferrari museum.
