5 Things We Need To Know About Ferrari's Latest One-Off Special

1) It is a two-seater sports berlinetta developed on the F8 Tributo platform. Berlinettas are sport coupes (or “little saloons”), most often with two seats but they also include 2 + 2 configurations.

2) It is designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre under the direction of Flavio Manzoni, the same man in charge of some of the most stunning designs in Ferrari’s portfolio, including the F12berlinetta 458 Speciale.

3) The front grille and engine air intakes are designed with extensive use of procedural-parametric modelling techniques and 3D prototyping, a similar technique used to represent and analyse large cities for future urban planning.

4) The car’s configuration allowed engineers to locate an intercooler intake immediately behind the side windows, enabling them to reduce the dimension of the intakes on the flanks. It’s not often we get to see engineering adapted so seamlessly to accommodate design, but we expect nothing less from Maranello…

5) It is designed for a long-standing client who was deeply involved in every step of its creation. Who did you think does a better job with one-off specials - Ferrari, or famed Italian coachbuiler Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera?
