Ferrari, a sport car manufacturer has severed its tie with Shreayans Group in India, who were official distributor and importer of Ferrari cars, as published by zigwheels online portal. 

According to the news “Automobili Italia Private Ltd (set up by Shreyans Group specially for Ferrari) is no longer the official Ferrari importer in India," the statement said.

He found the mint condition, top end model of Ford Figo, just 6 months used and driven for only few hundred kilometers.
