Naza Italia Sdn Bhd was appointed as the sole importer for Ferrari cars in Malaysia, and will begin operations in April 2008. It plans to invest in 4S showrooms, with the first flagship showroom to begin operations by Q3 2008.
“A substantial amount of the investment will be allocated for customer relationship management, sales and after-sales services, training, branding and marketing activities. Naza Italia will be bringing to local customers the whole Ferrari line-up, ranging from the F430 range to the 599 GTB Fiorano (shown above) and the flagship 612 Scaglietti. Our existing automotive business has enabled us to build significant relationship with the niche market which is demanding access to high quality automobiles. Our mission is to provide an experience to the Malaysian market. We plan further enhancements with new additions, innovative facilities and services, all of which will significantly contribute to the success of Ferrari in Malaysia,” said Naza Italia Sdn Bhd CEO S. M. Faisal Tan Sri S.M. Nasimuddin, who is also the Executive Vice President of the Naza Group.
Ferrari’s communications director for Asia Pacific Mr Matteo Bonciani said Ferrari considered Malaysia as an important market, and that there were 1,054 units sold in Asia Pacific in 2007. He added that Naza had proven to be the premier distributor in Malaysia, which was why it was picked to be the new sole importer. The Ferrari business in Malaysia was previously handled by Next Car Sdn Bhd.

so… anyone importing gallardo LP560/4 ?
Maybe the waiting list for the F430 will be long. 1k cars in 2007, looks like very rich few can afford the cars.
that’s true, but still can get some limited units locally, maybe those past years unregistered new models….. kinda like the 350Z and RX8…..

>>> Not anyone can simply buy the Enzo/FXX lorr, you have to be INVITED to be able to buy it ;) I heard in M’sia got 3 ppl invited, which are Mohzani Mahathir, JP Chin and somebody else (Jean Todt? lol). But then I heard JP Chin sold his to Japan, and got himself an Aston Martin DB9 o_0
Hi. Recently i drove 612 sag.Car seat no good. Wiper got sound very bad.
A/cond hot at night. My girlfren refuse to ride.Change my mind to buy one. Better buy City 2PS-VTec (L).
the next step is CKD Ferrari, lower price, yay…
i dunno la if you read malaysian papers they bash singapore, you read singaporen papers they bash malaysia…. can never can get the true story…
then again NAZA isnt really the cleanest of companies…
FXX is not for sale, isn’t it?
and Enzo already out of stock, only 399 units ever produced… but i know there’s 1 unit left in Naza, right?
but F430 and 599 are good enough to own if really can afford a Ferrari…..
clean or dirty, nevermind lah, as long as they bring in those cool cars!!!
anyway, Gallardo will be my primary choice, haha :-)
will get one soon…
Do anyone know whether Next Car still in Business in Malaysia? Who is the boss now operating Next Car Sdn Bhd since Ferrari Francise already taken by NAZA?
