Ferrari 458 Italia China special edition for 20 years of the Italian sports car manufacturer in China
To celebrate this historical milestone, in a few weeks time Ferrari will inaugurate its first ever permanent brand exhibition outside of Maranello at the Italia Center of Shanghai World Expo Park. It features a golden dragon on the front bonnet, which is offset by gold and black livery stripes symbolising a racing track and also gold finish to the rims and the aeroelastic winglets and the interior also reflects the unique longma spirit and the celebration of Chinese culture with gold embroidery on the car's head rests. Only 20 units will be sold by Ferrari. According to Ferrari the inspiration behind the livery came from the longma theme which is an old Chinese idiom which means "the vigor and spirit of the legendary dragon-horse". Dragon is a symbol of Chinese culture, standing for courage, passion and success, whilst Ferrari's prancing horse logo is one of the most recognized symbols in the world representing Italian cultural identity and its unrivalled achievements in the design and engineering fields.
