We, here at The Gentleman’s Journal, can think of few things more excitingly exclusive than owning a Ferrari, but this latest news would definitely have to top that list. Is there anything more exhilarating than knowing you own the only one in the world? Well for one lucky Gentleman, this dream is now a reality…
Designed exclusively for one avid collector, the Tailor Made department of Ferrari (which deals with personalisation of these iconic machines) has come up with a one-of-a-kind design. Styled exclusively to celebrate Niki Lauda’s winning cars, this stunning car pays tribute to the 1970s Ferrari 312T Formula One cars of the triple world champion himself.
The private customer (who wishes to remain anonymous) has commissioned the car to mimic the 312T’s red and white colour scheme, with a hint of green as a nod to its Italian roots, plus a set of gold-coloured alloy wheels. But don’t forget, it’s what’s on the inside that counts (or so they say), and this exotic machine pulls out all the stops. With special racing seats and carbon-fibre inlay throughout the cabin – all finished in the colours of the Italian flag, the car is totally unique to the buyers specification.
With a top speed of 202mph, boasting 0-60mph in a heart racing 3.4seconds, 7-speed dual clutch and a 4499cc V8 aspriated engine, we have a feeling that this lucky buyer is going to have an awful lot of fun this winter. Jealous much? ….absolutely!
