Being the proud new owner of a 2021 Portofino which I bought from Palm Beach Ferrari who also owns Ferrari of Naples, yesterday I spent a couple of hours visiting then. The bonus was that the sales guy who I've been buying Porsches from for over 20 years has jumped ship and now is in sales at Ferrari of Naples, by the way his name is Nick, mention my name and he will treat you well. As for the dealership, WOW, it's gorgeous at every level. I think of it as a destination, where people go to visit and look at some awesome cars. They took me around to meet everyone, plus they have three very experienced mechanics. Upstairs they have an area for pre owned and a few museum level vehicles. By the way they already have a nice selection of pre-owned plus a few amazing new ones. Thought you would enjoy seeing one of them. Upstairs is also where they take you to configure the new car, meeting rooms, a lounge etc....... Glad it's in Naples, feel very good about the support they will be able to offer.

Just drove by this yesterday. Man the east coast is invading south florida like no other. This is great for the state in the short term but it may be detrimental in the long term for obvious reasons.
Car dealers are either home run hitters or bird in the hand guys. Made what I thought was a perfectly reasonable offer on one of their cars and they appear to be home run hitters. Not surprising given the deep pockets in this area. A bit frustrating however. I buy multiple $millions of cars each year and those that I come back to again and again understand that and give me some advantages knowing the car will likely come back to them in exchange for another. Kind of hard to establish that sort of relationship down here. Not complaining, I'd likely do the same if I were them.
Unfortunately, the event at Ferrari of Naples is a Private Event this weekend. We plan on having more events for everyone in the near future.
Anyone attending the Esperienza Ferrari at Naples Ferrari this weekend?? I am attending this Saturday late morning. If anyone is around, let me know, would enjoy meeting some additional fchatters.
My daughter’s family is working remotely from Naples. She has an 8 month old so we are not getting out as a result. Hopefully when she goes back to NYC we can see the new dealership.
Attended Esperienza Ferrari Yesterday. Drove F8 Spider. First class event . Spent 1/2 hour driving car. Great food, gracious staff, beautiful Dealership. The F8 is fabulous. I guess I'm old school, but I find my gated 360 more Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login fun to drive.
Concur on it being a top notch event. Food was outstanding, service was fantastic. Drove the new Roma. Very nice GT car but not my cup. Plenty of power and creature comforts but takes a bit away from the Ferrari brand IMO. While I can appreciate all Ferrari models, they are targeting a specific demographic for this new model and it’s not me. A funny thing happened though when I was there. So apparently a rally starting in Miami said/thought they were invited to this private event. About 50-60 cars showed up and parked on the property. After about 45 min, the Mgmt had enough and booted them off the property. While they brought some very cool vehicles, they were also trying to infiltrate the event for free food/drinks. Kudos to Mgmt for stepping up and keeping it private and intimate.

Agreed: the event was quite lovely. Perfect hospitality and lots of nice things to see. First-class all the way. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Visiting Naples from NJ I attended the FCA C&C yesterday hosted by FoN. Very nice venue, people and weather. Hope this is the norm and look forward to more soon. Thank you, Doug.

Can’t go wrong with any of the staff. I have personally worked with Nick but have had several discussions with Brian as well and he is first class too.
