Ferrari has its first vehicles coming off the lines after opening its factory last week.

Ferrari says its back to full capacity with an 812 GTS spider in Grigio GTS and a F8 Tributo in Rosso Corsa were among the first cars completed in the 12- and 8-cylinder lines.

The new Ferraris are ready to be delivered to their owners – in USA, Germany and Australasia respectively – and to finally hit the road.

Meanwhile, Bentley Motors has resumed production at the company’s headquarters in Crewe, England, with over 1700 colleagues following the 250 comprehensive guidelines implemented to enable a safe return.

This represents the next stage in Bentley’s ‘Come Back Stronger’ programme, a phased production ramp up following the biggest changes to daily working life in the company’s 100-year history following the Covid-19 lockdown.
