M.S Dhoni's Ferrari GTO? http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/intern...-3#post2301713 (post #33)
But weren't all GTOs sold out even before they got into production? Or is this a gift to him by some wealthy NRI who owns the GTO

That car is an LHD. I doubt it would be a legible import. But, with the current World cup win, they might permit it as a special case.

Scorcher · 4th April 2011, 11:47

Uh Oh, that's an LHD. Do we see another media fuss for government relaxing rules for celebs?

amtak · 4th April 2011, 12:04

Nice car. Although I seriously have concerns if the tri-color can be put that way? I don't think it is allowed.

I got one word for that " Sickkkkkkkkkkkk" !! in a good way/american style

This is a great marketing campaign for Ferrari's entry into India !

NetfreakBombay · 4th April 2011, 13:58

Does not seem to be legit. Its an LHD + Has national flag on bonnet.

None of these would fly with customs.

Ain't all the freebies by State govt part of the marketing campaign?

Is that a audio speaker on door above the name tag ? Now why would anybody need a audio system inside a Ferrari

if i am not mistaken its air-con vent.

Seems sketch. Considering they make GTO's in RHD, and if its an official Ferrari car, why are these images shot in a generic garage? Theres a Mustang, a W221 and what appears to be a Range Rover Sport in this garage. Looks like the Middle east to me.

According to email forwarded to me,this is getting readied in Abu Dhabi and goingto be gifted by a NRI to Dhoni .

akj53 · 4th April 2011, 17:58

Seems more like a hoax. Nobody repeat nobody is allowed to have a car with national flag painted like this. Even if somebody intends to present this car, it won't be allowed to be imported in India as it violets the guidelines of displaying a national flag on a car.

Sadly Money does not buy taste.

vinaydas · 4th April 2011, 19:11

Too bad they dint "custom build" it for India (A Proper RHD).

Nevertheless great marketing campaign by Ferrari.
