SAN FRANCISCO: Ferrari has unveiled a unique Tailor Made car, the 812 Competizione, at an exclusive event during the recent Monterey Car Week.
The car is one of 999 limited editions, designed for collectors and enthusiasts.
The 830hp Tailor Made 812 Competizione was commissioned by Ferrari North America and will be auctioned at the Ferrari Gala in New York on Oct 17.
All proceeds will be donated to charity as part of the education support projects.
The Tailor Made concept was inspired by the concept of a blank sheet, which is how the Ferrari Styling Centre starts its creative research for every new model.
The car is distinguished by a commemorative plaque on the interior.
The car has been imagined as one of the now iconic yellow cards on which Maranello designers transfer their first ideas, insights and notes from mind to paper.
On the car, in matte Giallo Tristrato, the lines composed by the designer who imagined the elegant and sporty forms of the 812 Competizione and its most iconic details have been traced in matte Nero DS Sketch.
Notable among them are the carbon fibre blade that cuts across the horizontal plane of the front bonnet acting as an air intake for the engine, the characteristic louvres on the side - a tribute to the best 12-cylinder Ferrari tradition - as well as the vortex generators on the rear screen devoid of glass, replaced by a concealed rear-view camera.
The same concept is echoed in the interior.
The new-generation Alcantara that covers the cockpit of this 812 Competizione, composed of 65 percent recycled polyester and presented as a world premiere on Ferrari Purosangue, is embellished with design sketches that have been embroidered directly onto it.
Completing the elegant interior trim is the black trilobal Superfabric used for the carpet and rear wall of the passenger compartment.
Ferrari Tailor Made is Ferrari’s exclusive programme dedicated to those who wish to personalise every area of their Ferrari.
