Professional motorcycle racer, Valentino Rossi recently received a brand new Ferrari 458 Italia as a gift from Ferrari. Rossi was spotted with the brand new 458 at Monza track in Italy. Guess it really pays off to be a multiple MotoGP World Champion.
Notice the license plate is 046VR for his bike number and his initials.
When your making +$30 mill a year why shouldn’t your receive free Ferrari’s?
Fiat owns ferrari so this is simply a business expense to keep arguably one of the greatest motorcycle riders of all time happy. This is no different than alonso receiving free ferrari’s
Wow, it must be nice to just be given a luxury every now and again. It really amazes me how fascinating it is to be at the top and still have the opportunity of getting free things.lols
Thanks for taking the time to clarify Trev, I know the connection had to be deeper then just being Italian.
Not anymore, VAG bought Ducati for $1.12bil yesterday. Bargain of the year if you ask me.
So, Ferrari was too cheap to give him the 458 Spyder?
I was in Italy a while ago and this was one of the most discussed topics people talked about. Why wouldn’t you want to have a free Ferrari 458 Italia if you’re Valentino Rossi? I think it’s a smart move of the Italian car company…
