In a release, Marina Bay Sands is partnering with Ital Auto, the Official Ferrari Importer in Singapore, to bring a series of adrenaline-charged activities to visitors, such as the unveiling of the highly anticipated Ferrari F12berlinetta at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands on 18 September. This marks the very first time the F12berlinetta - the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever built - is displayed in Southeast Asia.

From 5-24 September, Ital Auto will also stage an exhibition at The Shoppes, taking fans through the history of the legendary Italian automotive company and its famous cars.
