Monterey car week wouldn’t be complete without a generous dose of Italian flare; the best place for that is undoubtedly at Concorso Italiano! We were excited to celebrate the #33rd annual Concorso Italiano. Ferrari South Bay created an amazing VIP hospitality area, boutique and Ferrari display overlooking the Ferrari pavilion.

Our eye catching Ferrari display contained a great sampling of everything Ferrari. Front and center was the brand new Ferrari Portofino sporting impressive power from Ferrari’s award winning twin-turbo V8 and the versatility to transform from a sporty coupe to a stunning convertible in a mere 14 seconds. Flanking the Boutique area was the Ferrari 488 GTB juxtaposed by its racing counterpart, the 488 GT3 which had just returned from a valiant battle at Virginia International Raceway.

Opposite of these two sports cars was a bold blast from the past. This 1973 365 GTS/4 is the the 90th of just 121 Factory “Daytona Spiders”.

Complementing our display of stunning Ferrari automobiles were some examples of fine workmanship, including a 1:1 Ferrari 250 SWB wireframe, 1:3 Ferrari 250 SWB wireframe, and a miniature replica of the 599’s V12 engine.
