Mumbai, Aug 09: Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar got his much awaited and much talked about Ferrari-360 today after the finance ministry exempted 120 per cent import duty. Tendulkar, who went for a drive after he received the car transported by an Air France flight from Paris, refused to comment on his new vehicle.
The finance ministry exempted around Rs 1.13 crore towards the import duty of the red Ferrari, valued at Rs 75 lakh, early this week.
The car was gifted to Tendulkar by fiat after the Mumbai batsman equalled late Don Bradman's tally of 29 test centuries.
Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher presented the car on behalf of the company to Tendulkar when the two met last year at Silverstone, England.

The ferrari was draped in controversy after it was reported that the batting maestro had requested a custom duty waive on the car despite getting it as a gift and not winning it as a prize in any tournament.
