Ferrari has revealed its latest one-off commission, the F8 Tributo-Based SP48 Unica -
. Called the SP48 Unica, it introduces a completely bespoke exterior body with a futuristic design only made possible by additive manufacturing techniques.
Like many of Ferrari’s one-off projects, the SP48 channels the underlying design language of its series production models, but takes certain elements and graphics and accentuates them to greater effect. In the case of the SP48, Ferrari’s designers have created a distinctive graphic from the windscreen, windows and roof panel that creates a unique aesthetic on top of familiar proportions.
By blocking out the A-pillars in black and then also drawing up the gloss black section up the roof panel, the glazing together creates a distinctive trident-like graphic that’s particularly dramatic from above. Where the side window glass terminates with a bespoke rear quarter light, the gloss black roof section eventually fades into a block stripe that then joins onto the low-set rear wing.
Another example of this is around the nose, where Ferrari has used 3D printing processes in the prototyping phase to create seamless openings in the nose that form the front intakes. The clever bit is not the tessellated openings, rather the way that they slip behind a seamlessly integrated dropdown that houses a floating prancing horse.
No pricing has been revealed, and as a one-off only the single unit has been produced. While this type of project doesn’t often relate to future products – it sometimes does include design motifs that reappear in future products.
