I used to be exhausted from going to Chicago every time I wanted to buy a new Ferrari. The flight out took two hours, and the drive back lasted almost the same amount of time. With the economy the way it is these days, who can afford to take half a day off work every time they want to purchase an Italian luxury sports car?
That’s why I was delighted when Carousel Motor Group, an operating company of the Pohlad Companies, announced they would open a new Ferrari dealership right here in the Twin Cities. Twin Cities Performance became the 45th Ferrari dealership in the United States last September, and currently serves as an authorized dealer for new and pre-owned sales, service and official parts, and merchandise.
Even if you’re not certain which sports car you’re going to purchase next, visiting Twin Cities Performance is always a real treat. Only there can you marvel at the 812 Superfast, which is designed to offer drivers both benchmark performance and the most riveting driving experience possible, the SF90 Spider, which combines the SF90 Stradale’s record-breaking performance with the latest iteration of Ferrari’s signature Retractable Hard Top architecture, and the Portofino M – the first Ferrari GT convertible to boast an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox and five-position Manettino.
Twin Cities Performance is worthy of housing such beautiful feats of engineering. The newly renovated 15,500 square foot facility provides an immersive customer experience complete with state-of-the-art amenities including a 12x18 foot digital display wall, atelier design studio, and customer lounge. The 2,500 square foot experiential showroom will prominently feature Ferrari’s latest models, and the 5,700 square foot service center is equipped with five service bays and the Twin Cities area's only Ferrari-authorized technicians.
"We are both proud and humbled, as a family-owned Minnesota-based business, to represent the iconic Ferrari brand in Minneapolis," said Chase Hawkins, president and CEO of Carousel Motor Group. “Both existing and future Ferrari customers can rest assured they will get the very best levels of customer service they may already have become accustomed to in purchasing and servicing their vehicles across our other dealerships.”
"We are pleased to welcome the Pohlad Companies represented by the Carousel Motor Group to the Ferrari family,” said Matteo Torre, president of Ferrari North America, “and wish Chase and his team much success in representing the Ferrari brand in this vibrant and important market where we have an established and loyal client base.”
