Ferrari Qatar and Mawater Centre organised an exclusive two-day event for the centre's motoring enthusiasts. As part of the event, attendees were provided a first-hand experience of the California T and 488 Spider models under the supervision of Ferrari's Corso Pilota drivers.
Renowned for their remarkable driving skills, Corso Pilota drivers represent the world famous team of Italian driving trainers from Maranello. During the Ferrari test drives, the experts demonstrated skilful sports driving techniques to participants, while exposing the full potential of the car.
Established in 2014, Mawater Centre is an initiative of the Ministry of Youth & Sport in Qatar to unite car aficionados under one roof, to exchange ideas and interests while engaging the youth in professional events and activities. The Ferrari test drive session served to ignite the motoring passion of the centre's members, by highlighting the automotive excellence of the two models.
The California T is a brilliant expression of Ferrari's sporty DNA, while its retractable hard top (RHT) and 2+ configuration make it supremely versatile. Powered by the new turbocharged V8 engine, the model sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds flat and from 0 to 200 km/h in 11.2 seconds.
