Ferraris roared around the streets of Patras over the weekend for the 9th Patras Motor Show, much to the surprise of residents.

The 40 Ferraris from all across Europe came to the port town as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of Passione Rossa, the most popular Ferrari car owners’ club in Italy. The club is headed by Italian race car driver Fabio Barone, who holds three world records for his speed and has been recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records.

The port town of Patras and the island of Corfu were among the pit-stops of the Ferrari club’s celebrations that include a series of events, known as Concours d’Εlegance.

Visitors had the opportunity to see the formidable cars at their finest in the special events being held under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Tourism.
