Ferrari's latest Special Projects car is based on the 488 GT3 Evo race car.
. However, it was designed with the brief of a timeless shape free of any homologation constraints. The resulting design shares nothing with the donor car, glass surfaces and lights included.
Naturally, performance was also a must for the customer. Ferrari's solution was to rely on active aerodynamics in order to keep the car free of the various aerodynamic attachments normally found on track-focused cars. For example, panels behind the front wheel arches extend when the car's engine is switched on, helping to create downforce.
For extreme track driving, front vents are opened, while a fixed wing is manually attached at the rear. A set of 18-inch wheels are also used for track driving instead of the more polished set the car has been designed with for display at concours-style events, which measure 21 inches at the front and 22 at the rear.
Other interesting elements of the design include the butterfly doors, similar to what Ferrari used on the LaFerrari, as well as glass surfaces that are seamlessly integrated with the body, with no visible pillars, frames or seals. It's also hard to notice the paint job, a four-layer aluminum finish called Gold Mercury.
As is common with Ferrari's one-off cars, the mechanicals are left untouched. It means you'll find a turbocharged 3.9-liter V-8 mounted behind the cabin. It delivers a peak 591 hp to the rear wheels via a sequential transmission.
