Six Ferrari cars worth almost 1.5 million euros have been registered in January in Romania. This is the highest monthly level since the Italian manufacturer entered the Romanian market, accounting for a quarter of the sales made last year by Forza Rossa, importer of Ferrari on the Romanian market, a company controlled by Ion Bazac, former Health minister, and by Camelia Bazac. The value of Ferrari automobiles registered in January is almost half the overall value of the other car brands registered in the same month.
The high volume comes as a surprise as the Romanian car market fell by 50% in January to around 4,000 cars, with registrations down by 85%, to 2,100 cars.
Three of the six Ferraris were sold in December and three in January, with their registration being delayed by weather conditions, according to company officials.
The most expensive model registered is a Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spider, which is part of a limited edition of 499, which costs almost 300,000 euros.
