    Met some friends at Ferrari of Austin's new showroom and service center on Saturday; their first weekend open at the new building. This place is HUGE. Two showrooms, one for new cars and then one for pre-owned. The new design center and customer lounge area are all outfitted with furniture direct from Italy. Its 3 floors (or maybe 4) with a 60 car vault in the "basement."
    We were greeted by one of their sales folks who gave us a tour, Ryan Mortensen. Ryan is standing next to a 599, one of 8 in the world and this one has less than 300 miles...

    Service department wasn't open for viewing yet. The construction crews were still in there. Pretty sure you could fit the former facility on Lamar into just the main showroom.
    Nice place...

    Drove by it the other week, but did not stop since it still looked like it was under construction. Huge improvement over the Lamar location.

    They are working on the driveway entrance. If you turn in to the road just before the dealership (Nelms road), you enter through the side entrance and drive around front.

    Hey guys,
    Alexandre here from Ferrari of Austin.
    We are indeed officially open. The new building is about 60,000 sq ft compared to 12,000 for the Lamar place. The service area alone is bigger than Lamar was! :)
    As Bob mentioned, our main driveway is not open yet as Texdot is finishing the service road so you want to make a right on Nelms Dr (you will see a Discount Tire on the right hand side) and then make a left on the property and just drive around. I love all the green around the property.
    My favorite room is the configurator room!
    I attached a picture of it.
    We have a 488 Challenge car on display at this time. Come check it out!!
    Would love to give you guys the grand tour.
    This new facility will also allow us to be more involved with the Hill Country FCA since we now have....... parking available! :D

    Hope to meet some of you real soon!

    Alex.

    My wife and I were in Austin for the Ferrari Challenge and the WEC at Cota. On our last day there we were headed north on I-35 and my wife saw your sign, but we missed the exit. Will be sure to visit next time. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    That's an understatement... :)
    Although, I thought that it was nice considering what we had to work with! ;)
