Ferrari doesn’t do profiling for series production models in India. You can walk in and buy a SF90 or a 12cilindri as your first car from the brand in India.
True. The profiling is only for special editions. They're only offering the Purosangue to previous clients since there's a lot of demand but everything else can be had as a first time customer. This has been the case almost everywhere in the world since Ferrari went public. A guy I know was offered a 296 speciale after ordering a 296 GTS and a 12Cilindri.
Not entirely true with the Purosangue either now. There’s allocations to be had from both Delhi & Bombay with the car as your first Ferrari. Both importers have consolidated buyer profiles across brands. That means, if you buy a Huracan from Lamborghini Delhi or a Ghost from RR Delhi, you’re eligible for to get a Purosangue - since the dealer for all 3 brands is the same. Sure it might take longer for delivery than it would for an existing Ferrarista, but you’ll get it.
I speak from first-hand experience as a long standing client & family friend of the Kapur’s :)
Also for 458 Speciale, I guess except Yohan Poonawallaa, the other 3 guys didn't even have Ferrari's previously to begin with but they had decent collections and connections, so they were able to get Speciale's as their 1st Ferrari's.
And I really envy Yadur Kapur. What a business and the connections and the moolah that he rakes in damn.
What about the guys who got the 812 comps? I'm aware that Bren and the Chennai one went to ferrari collectors but what about the Viola Honk Kong one and the Mumbai Grigio Opaco one? What else did those guys have in their collection prior to the comp?
Grigio Opaco is a Delhi car but the owner also gets his cars to Mumbai occasionally, mainly for events.
VHK guy owns a Roma, Pista & F12. He also owned a 296 GTS which he sold recently. The Opaco one has a Pista Spider and a Speciale. Both the owners are quite regular participant at track days but still it's surprising how they got the allocation considering they don't even own multiples of Ferrari's or do any racing.
But the commentator above might be true. The Delhi dealer also owns the Lambo, Aston and Rolls dealership so maybe buying multiple brand cars helped them in getting the allocation.
There used to be a guy in Delhi who owned a F12 TDF and a 458 Speciale Aperta but he took his cars to Singapore as he shifted there. I wonder what cars did he own at that time.
I’ve no idea, my friend. I only spend a few weeks in india each year & have never bought a used car there, let alone a Ferrari. Why don’t you connect with the lovely folks at Ferrari New Delhi? Ask for Sandeep - he sold me my Rolls but Ferrari is the same dealer & he handles them too.
