Official Press release for SHELL FERRARI MODEL CARS

Feel the added responsiveness with Shell’s latest Ferrari model cars Petaling Jaya, 3 March 2009 – Shell Malaysia launched its latest and hottest set of five limited edition Shell-Ferrari model cars at the 1 Utama Shopping Centre today. The launch was officiated by Dato’ Mohzani Abdul Wahab, Managing Director, Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd and Shell Timur Sdn Bhd. Riding on the success of the first two Shell-Ferrari model car campaigns of 2007 & 2008, Shell is embarking on their third campaign this year, which aims to reinforce the Shell-Ferrari partnership to the Malaysian public. The five Shell-Ferrari model cars available in the latest Shell-Ferrari collection are the 430 Scuderia, FXX Evoluzione, 599 GTB Fiorano, 612 Scaglietti and the 360 GTC. Each car is a detailed 1:38 scale replica and has a unique Touch Steering function on the underside, giving directional control of the cars. This distinctive function allows owners to program the model cars to steer up to 15 different directions for each pull-back. “The Touch Steering function in these latest model cars puts the power and performance in your hands with an added feeling of responsiveness, similar to when you’re fuelling up with Shell V-Power Racing,” said Dato’ Mohzani. “Shell V-Power Racing not only unleashes more power and performance to the engine, but also helps motorists rediscover their passion for driving,” he added. “We expect this campaign to be very well received by the public, as the previous collections yielded tremendous response. That is why we are bringing in more cars this year, over 3.2million of them. Furthermore, Michael Schumacher, the man who won 7 titles with the Ferrari Formula One team powered by Shell fuels and lubricants is now back to endorse these cars in the latest Shell-Ferrari model car advertisements,” he commented. Malaysia, a leading market for Shell V-Power Racing is the first to launch these Shell-Ferrari model cars in the world. “We are proud to be the first to bring you the latest collection of Shell-Ferrari model cars, which now come with Touch Steering. So Malaysians can now pride themselves with another first!” said Dato’ Mohzani. To add to the excitement of this launch, nationwide roadshows will be organized offering a host of activities that will engage the Malaysian public in fun and exciting activities for all. In addition, visitors to the roadshow can experience the Shell Formula One simulator and learn more about Shell V-Power Racing.

FERRARI 430 SCUDERIA SHELL

Ferrari 430 Scuderia with touch steering

The 430 Scuderia was unveiled by Michael Schumacher at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.

It is the ENHANCED sportier version of the classic F430… lightened, sportier and more innovative. It is called dubbed by Ferrari as the strongest and purest Ferrari – the highest expression of the Ferrari DNA in terms of uncompromising sportiness – a unique supercar. Combines perfectly handling, control and performance.

The F430 Scuderia is the perfect car for passionate and sporty customers, who use their car on race tracks and closed off circuits. An ultimate aspiration for those seeking a compromise between extreme performance and driving pleasure. The touch steering feature, is a new feature to the shell ferrari cars this season.. as i might say it is nice to see change since the last few season ferrari's SHELL.. Almost all the car this season has the Touch Steering feature.. if you have a big room with a clean non bumpy surface , you might just see the power of the toy with the pull back and touch steering feature.. its really nice to see the car go in circles.. An official badge from ferrari saying its an official product from them really makes us owning this toy car really special... as it is a licence product from ferrari...

· The 430 Scuderia was unveiled by Michael Schumacher at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.

· It is lighter (by 100 kg/220 lb) and more powerful (515 PS (508 hp/379 kW) at 8500 rpm.) than the standard F430. Thus the weight-to-power ratio is reduced from 2.96 kg/hp to 2.5 kg/hp.

· The cosmetic differences between the 430 Scuderia and the F430 upon which it is based include a re-styled front fascia, modified side-skirts, twin exhaust tips, a revised rear diffuser design, 19" wheels designed specifically for the 430 Scuderia, carbon-fibre wing, mirrors, carbon-fibre challenge grille, two racing stripes along the middle and the 430 Scuderia badge.
