We were very pleased to attend to the showroom opening together with our Italian partner, Franco Alosa S. r. l. in Florence and Muggello.
With a big ceremonial act the event started on February 14th, 2009 in Florence. 200 VIP guests had the chance to admire the 400 m² large showroom but also to look at many awesone sportscars.
AC Schnitzer supported this event with two cars from the range: the ACS1 3.5i Coupé based on BMW 135i and the X6 FALCON 3.5d based on BMW X6 3.5d.
The day after the ceremonial act was continued on February 15th, 2009 on the legendary race track of Muggello where the guests could join a taxi drive on the race track.
For AC Schnitzer on the track: Technical Manager and touring car driver Manfred Wollgarten who drove the passengers in the AC Schnitzer ACS1 3.5i safe and sporty round the track.
After the 5.9 km race track had been "defeated" some mature men were much like a child - "again" was an often heard statement.
