Germany has always been 
						Ferrari's most important market in Europe, as well as 
						the second in terms of sales worldwide, and the 
						introduction of a new model is always an occasion for an 
						impressive turnout of local clients and collectors as 
						was proved at the gala evening for the launch of the FF, 
						the new Ferrari 12-cylinder, in the Italian embassy in 
						Berlin.  
						 
						The FF’s official debut on the market, which accounts 
						for 10 per cent of production from the manufacturer in 
						Maranello, was held in the presence of Ferrari Chairman, 
						Luca di Montezemolo, the Italian Ambassador Michele 
						Valensise and two special guests, German and Italian 
						foreign ministers Guido Westerwelle and Franco Frattini, 
						together with over 250 enthusiastic Ferrari clients.  
						 
						During the evening Montezemolo underlined the FF’s huge 
						success, confirming that this year’s entire production 
						and a good part of next year’s have already been sold. 
						Germany is one of the countries with the highest demand 
						for the FF thanks to the car’s virtues, including its 
						versatility. In fact the patented 4RM system means this 
						Ferrari four-seater can be used under the most extreme 
						grip conditions, such as on icy or snowy roads.  
						 
						Warm applause from the guests and flashlights from the 
						cameras accompanied the entrance of three FFs into the 
						embassy’s garden recreating the Italian flag with their 
						green, white and red liveries.
