Ferrari South Bay Ojai Rally Kicks Off the 2025 Rally Series
The Ferrari South Bay Ojai Rally marked the exciting launch of our 2025 Rally Series, bringing together Ferrari enthusiasts for an exclusive and dynamic driving experience. Designed to celebrate the performance, elegance, and community that define the Ferrari brand, this event delivered an unforgettable journey through Southern California and into the Central Valley.
A Grand Departure
Participants arrived at Ferrari South Bay in the early morning, where they were welcomed with coffee and refreshments before receiving their event materials, including rally decals, two-way radios, and snack bags. Anticipation was high as a stunning lineup of Ferraris prepared to set off, showcasing the passion and enthusiasm of the Ferrari community.
Showcasing Ferrari’s Finest: 296 GTS, Roma Spider, and Purosangue
As the rally commenced, Ferrari South Bay introduced three demo cars—the 296 GTS, Roma Spider, and Purosangue—highlighting their exceptional performance, practicality, and striking design.
Roma Spider – The embodiment of timeless elegance, the Roma Spider pairs a twin-turbocharged V8 with a lightweight soft-top, offering a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and sophisticated design for the grand touring experience. With its stunning lines and refined driving dynamics, it provides an exhilarating yet effortless drive.
296 GTS – “The 296 GTB is absurdly potent, outrageously capable, and to feel its full force unleashed on road or track is something akin to madness," declared Road & Track when awarding it 2024 Performance Car of the Year. The GTS takes that very same performance and amplifies it into a thrilling open-air experience. Powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine paired with an electric motor, it unleashes 819 hp, rockets to a top speed of 205 mph, and accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds. With its plug-in hybrid technology and advanced aerodynamics, the 296 GTS redefines the boundaries of modern supercar performance.
Purosangue – Ferrari’s first four-door, four-seater FUV redefines versatility with a naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering 715 hp while maintaining Ferrari’s signature driving dynamics, luxury, and all-terrain capability. It seamlessly combines supercar-level performance with everyday usability, redefining the segment.
Throughout the rally, these models demonstrated Ferrari’s seamless blend of exhilarating performance, everyday usability, and breathtaking aesthetics, capturing the attention of both drivers and spectators.
A Well Earned Breakfast in Ojai
The journey concluded at the Ojai Valley Inn, where guests then gathered at The Oak, a renowned dining destination, to enjoy an well earned breakfast in a serene and picturesque setting. Conversations flowed as attendees reflected on the drive, their shared passion for Ferrari, and the excitement of future events.
Looking Ahead
The Ojai Rally was a testament to Ferrari South Bay’s commitment to delivering world-class driving experiences that celebrate the essence of the Ferrari lifestyle. With more events on the horizon, the 2025 Rally Series promises to continue offering exclusive opportunities for clients to connect, drive, and indulge in the finest Ferrari has to offer.
