The petitioner claims that it carefully

compared the non-U.S. certified 1995

Ferrari 456 to its U.S. certified

counterpart, and found the two vehicles

to be substantially similar with respect

to compliance with most Federal motor

vehicle safety standards.

J.K. submitted information with its

petition intended to demonstrate that

the non-U.S. certified 1995 Ferrari 456,

as originally manufactured, conforms to

many Federal motor vehicle safety

standards in the same manner as its U.S.

certified counterpart, or is capable of

being readily altered to conform to those

standards.

Specifically, the petitioner claims that

the non-U.S. certified 1995 Ferrari 456

is identical to its U.S. certified

counterpart with respect to compliance

with Standards Nos. 102 Transmission

Shift Lever Sequence * * *, 103

Defrosting and Defogging Systems, 104

Windshield Wiping and Washing

Systems, 105 Hydraulic Brake Systems,

106 Brake Hoses, 109 New Pneumatic

Tires, 113 Hood Latch Systems, 116

Brake Fluid, 124 Accelerator Control

Seat Belt Assemblies, 210 Seat Belt

Assembly Anchorages, 212 Windshield

Retention, 216 Roof Crush Resistance,

219 Windshield Zone Intrusion, 301

Fuel System Integrity, and 302

Flammability of Interior Materials.

Petitioner also contends that the

vehicle is capable of being readily

altered to meet the following standards,

in the manner indicated:

Standard No. 101 Controls and

Displays: (a) inscription of the word

‘‘Brake’’ on the dash, in place of the

international ECE warning symbol; (b)

installation of U.S.-model headlamps

and front sidemarker lights; (b)

rearview mirror with a U.S.-model

Standard No. 114 Theft Protection:

a single red push button at both front

and rear outboard designated seating

positions.

Standard No. 214 Side Impact

Protection: installation of door bars on

vehicles that are not so equipped.

With regard to compliance with the

Bumper Standard found in 49 CFR Part

581, the petitioner states that the

bumpers and the support structure for

the bumpers on the non-U.S. certified

1995 Ferrari 456 are identical to those

found on the vehicle’s U.S. certified

counterpart. The petitioner notes,

however, that some of these bumpers

may have to be replaced if they do not

have holes cut into the side to

accommodate side marker lights.

The petitioner also states that a

vehicle identification number plate

must be affixed to the vehicle to meet

the requirements of 49 CFR part 565.
