/24-7PressRelease/ - DALLAS, TX, August 14, 2007 - Simple lines, a gadget free interior, an engine roar at 8500 rpm that is unmistakably F1 inspired, 380 HP and a top speed of 183 mph. "It really wasn't hard to convince myself to write the check for this V-8 powered, pristine 1998 Ferrari," says Ron Sturgeon, owner of DFW Elite Auto Rental.com. "It's rare to find a '98 Ferrari F355 Spider with fewer than 6,000 miles on it," says Sturgeon.
Ferrari made the F355 from 1994 to 1999, and Ferrari enthusiasts prize it as Ferrari's best volume production model of the era. "The F355 embodies the Ferrari ideals of high performance and classic styling," says DFW Elite Auto Rental General Manager, Tom Warren.
"As our first Ferrari with a daily rental price below $1000, we expect this F355 to be a very popular Ferrari rental in Dallas," says Warren. A one-day F355 Ferrari rental in Dallas will be initially priced at $750 plus tax on weekdays and $975 plus tax on weekends.
"Summer is wedding season, and I expect a lot of adventurous brides and grooms will consider the F355 the perfect Dallas exotic car rental for a wedding. A car as special as the Ferrari F355 is a smart addition to the wedding guest list," insists Warren.
This newest Ferrari joins an enviable exotic rental car collection that already includes three other Ferraris: a Fly Yellow F430 F1 Coupe, a Racing Red F430 Coupe, and black Ferrari 360 F1 Spider. DFW Elite Auto Rental.com's collection is the largest single location rental fleet of exotic and specialty vehicles in the United States.
"We don't have any immediate plans to add the Ferrari F355 Spider to our daylong exotic driving tours, but you never know where it may show up," says Kevin Bailey, DFW Elite Auto Rental.com's Drive Your Dream Tour Director. The company's daylong driving tours allow auto enthusiasts to drive five exotic or luxury cars back-to-back over some of Texas' most scenic and lonesome roads. The most popular, the 2000HP Tour features the Ferrari F360 F1, BMW M6 Convertible, Aston Martin V-8 Vantage, Lamborghini Gallardo and Corvette Z06.
