Ferrari Campus Visit

After making the trip to Maranello, Italy to check out Ferrari's new Jean Nouvel-designed production facility and restaurant a year ago, we were lucky enough to be invited back for this year's World Design Contest in July 2011.

This time we toured the amazing V8 production line again, but also had the rare privilege of seeing many of the standout cars in Ferrari's extensive vintage collection, as well as getting an exclusive glimpse inside the FXX, Forumula 1 Clienti, and Classiche garages.

The FXX garage houses and maintains a few dozen independently-owned Ferrari FXXs, the $1.8 million non-street-legal versions of the Enzo. These superior limited production cars are significantly modified specifically for racing. Storing your FXX here gives you access to Ferrari's private track—so private we weren't even allowed to photograph it.

Every year Ferrari produces between three and six Formula One race cars. At the end of the season, Ferrari keeps one, putting the rest up for sale to private clients. Like for owners of the FXX, with the Formula One Clienti garage you get storage, maintenance and access to the track—providing you have the funds of course.

For the classic car connoisseur, Ferrari also offers complete factory renovation and restoration assistance in their Classiche garage. Here the brilliant craftspeople will restore your vintage Ferrari to its former glory. Every little detail is remanufactured to its original specs in order to receive a proper Ferrari seal of authenticity.

Dari semua produk line up PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM), Kijang, Avanza, Rush, dan Fortuner yang diproduksi di Indonesia. Bahkan Kijang dikenal sebagai mobil kebanggan keluarga Indonesia, ketika pertama kali di release pada 1977 masih berupa pikap dan kini menjadi multi purpose vehicle (MPV) berkelas, konon tidak lagi diproduksi di dalam negeri. Malah akan diimpor dari luar. Hal itu mungkin saja, mengingat adanya perjanjian perdagangan bebas (free trade area/FTA) antara negara di kawasan Asean dengan India yang telah ditandatangani 13 Agustus 2009 lalu. Isinya, di antaranya adanya penurunan tarif impor produk (impor duty) untuk beberapa produk hingga nol persen berlaku antara 2013 hingga 2016. Salah satunya, otomotif. Imbasnya, mulai tumbuh wacana kemungkinan Kijang Innova akan dipasok dari India untuk pasar Indonesia. Hal ini diutarakan Wakil Presiden Direktur TAM Shinji Fujii saat bincang-bincangnya bersama KOMPAS.com, akhir pekan lalu. "Ini baru kemungkinan. Tapi kami akan ber...
