Automotive legends Ferrari and Maserati have a new home in Sydney with Ferrari Maserati Sydney officially opening its doors last night (3 February 2010) in Waterloo providing Australia's largest city with a quality of customer service and facilities on a par with anything in the world.

More than 550 Ferrari and Maserati owners saw the Australian debut of the latest models from both companies, the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Maserati GranCabrio flown in especially for the gala evening event joining the newly launched Ferrari California. Ferrari Maserati Sydney's Dealer Principal, Edward Butler, welcomed senior executives from both Ferrari and Maserati with Amedeo Felisa, the Chief Executive Officer of Ferrari SpA, and Raffaele Fusilli, Global Corporate Director of Maserati SpA, making their first visits to Australia specifically for the opening of the new dealership.

For Neville Crichton, Executive Chairman of Ferrari and Maserati's Australian and New Zealand importer, European Automotive Imports, the opening of Ferrari Maserati Sydney was  the culmination of a four year programme to take the quality of Australia's Ferrari and Maserati network to a new benchmark level for customer service.

"We now have all-new dealerships in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, with major upgrades in Adelaide and Auckland, along with a new Maserati dealer in Christchurch that also provides Ferrari owners with a service centre," explains Mr Crichton. "This magnificent new Sydney dealership means that we now have a network of dealerships that can stand comparison with the best in the world. Wherever our owners visit a dealership they will be welcomed by a unique level of customer service in facilities that match the legendary performance, technology and style of their cars."

The visiting executives told the audience at the launch that Ferrari Maserati Sydney is, in the words of Ferrari CEO, Amedeo Felisa "one of the best Ferrari dealerships in the world" while Maserati Global Commercial Director, Raffaele Fusilli concluded his speech by saying he was "proud to be able to welcome Maserati owners to the best Maserati dealer in the world."

Replacing separate sales and service facilities in William Street and Artarmon, the new dealership represents a multi-million dollar investment in a five level facility that more than triples the size of sales and service facilities for Ferrari and Maserati in Sydney.

"Bringing these facilities together under one roof is central to our plan to expand our business and offer the highest levels of customer service," says Edward Butler, Dealer Principal of Ferrari Maserati Sydney. "Our sales team will sell the car to a customer, but it is the quality of our customer service and our ability to deliver to customers an all-encompassing Ferrari and Maserati ownership experience, which fully encapsulates the passion and style of these unique marques, that will encourage our customers to come back for their next Ferrari and Maserati."
