Ferrari Museum in Maranello Launch “Driven by Enzo” & “Passion and Legend” Exhibitions

On the 120th anniversary of the founder’s birth, the Ferrari Museum pays tribute to his passion for cars with the “Driven by Enzo” and “Passion and Legend” exhibitions, which retrace the countless developments in style and technology over the company’s history.

“Driven by Enzo” shows off the four-seater models driven personally by Ferrari. As is well known, Enzo Ferrari used to try out every car produced at Maranello himself, but not all of them were for day-to-day driving. On his daily journeys, he particularly loved four-seater cars because of their combination of comfort and sportiness and often ferried around his illustrious visitors in them.

His passion for these cars began with the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT 2+2 and continued for the rest of his life with the 400 GTi, the 412, and finally the Ferrari 456 GT, a car he personally approved in 1988. Even when he decided to employ a chauffeur in 1969, the latter was often a passenger and travel companion of a man who always felt himself to be a driver.

“Passion and Legend” is the extraordinary story of Enzo Ferrari and his company, retraced through cars and images. Ferrari is the transposition into the real world of its founder’s vision and his unconditional love for cars, as we can see in this exhibition of seven decades of the most beautiful cars.

Then we find the 166 Inter of 1948, the first Ferrari mainly for road use, the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta “Tdf” of 1956 and again the Dino 246. The exhibition carries on down to the cars of today such as the F12tdf, a special limited series, and the 812 Superfast, the company’s highest performing road car.

With the help of two interactive stations, the exhibitions also allow us to discover the most important 2+2 cars in the company’s history and to take a virtual tour of today’s production facilities. The exhibitions will be at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello until May 2019.

Volkswagen Revises Prices With New SST Tax Structure, Cars Even More Affordable Now!

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) today announced the revised prices of all Volkswagen models with the implementation of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) on the 1^st of September 2018. With the exception of CBU models, the new prices of Volkswagen cars are now lower than previous prices with 6% GST. Additionally, the VPCM Price Protection Scheme (PPS) is still applicable for all models registered by the 15^th of November 2018 and while stocks last. Since the introduction of PPS, VPCM has seen a rise in demand for Volkswagen models. While VPCM is doing its best to meet the demand, stocks are very limited and customers are urged to not delay placing their bookings.

Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM (above) said, “In line with the Government’s initiative, we are very pleased that the new tax structure has allowed us to be more competitive with our prices. With the new tax structure, the reduction of Volkswagen prices ranges from 1.5% (for the Tiguan Comfortline) to 2.6% (for the Vento Highline) compared against the previous tax structure with GST. We believe that the new prices, as well as our recently-introduced Price Protection Scheme (PPS) makes owning a Volkswagen even more attractive to Malaysians.”

Below is a comparison on prices of the locally assembled (CKD) models and total savings under the PPS:

Model	Price with 6% GST (before 1^st June)	Price with SST (1^st Sept onwards)	Price with 0% GST (1^st June – 31^st Aug) *Current valid prices with PPS
Polo	RM76,888	RM74,990	RM72,488
Vento Comfortline	RM86,888	RM84,690	RM81,888
Vento Highline	RM93,888	RM91,490	RM88,488
Tiguan Comfortline	RM148,888	RM146,690	RM138,888
Tiguan Highline	RM168,888	RM165,990	RM158,888
Passat Comfortline	RM179,990	RM176,690	RM169,488
Passat Highline	RM198,990	RM195,390	RM187,488

The prices of imported (CBU) models in comparison as well as with the total savings absorbed by VPCM is listed below:

Model	Price with 6% GST (before 1^st June)	Price with SST (1^st Sept onwards)	Price with 0% GST (1^st June – 31^st Aug) *Current valid prices with PPS

Golf GTI	RM239,990	RM246,490	RM225,888
Golf R	RM295,990	RM304,390	RM278,888
