  • Ferrari Roma Spider Tailor Made

    Ferrari presents a unique version of the Roma Spider created by the Tailor Made department: the car will be on display at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena as of today as part of the ‘Ferrari One of a Kind’ exhibition, dedicated to the exclusive world of personalisation for the Maranello-based manufacturer.

    The aim of this Roma Spider in particular is to highlight innovative component production techniques, enabled through the use of special, refined supplies. Standing out among these is work on the fabric in the central panel of the seats with manual stitching that adopts leather from the interior and applies thread obtained from recycled tyres.

    On this car, Ferrari has launched work with lasers on aluminium body components for the shield on the front wing, as well as the option of personalising the bonnet design with a compass rose and the geographical coordinates of Maranello. Aluminium recycled during the production phase in the Ferrari foundry is also used to create some components of the twin-turbo V8 engine, reducing the volume of waste to a minimum.

    Other noteworthy features include the use of chrome-free nappa leather and wood of controlled origin on the tonneau cover and rear floor, as well as components made from sand, on the centre console, recycling the sand removed from casts in the Maranello foundry.

    Collaboration with Montblanc was also of considerable importance, with Ferrari’s partner creating a special edition of the celebrated Meisterstück for the occasion. This iconic writing instrument now sports the same Oro Mida colour specifically chosen by the Maranello Styling Centre to characterise the Ferrari Roma Spider Tailor Made. This unique item is also enhanced with a nib made of hand-worked Au750 solid gold and platinum-coated with a special compass motif, and cap and sections also coated in platinum.

    In keeping with the concept of journeying as a thread running through the whole project, the writing instrument is accompanied by a logbook with a cover featuring reused leather in the same colour found in the interior of the Ferrari Roma Spider: Rosso Bologna and Pelle Metalizzata Oro Mida. Impressed on the cover are the coordinates of Maranello, the same as the ones on the body of the logbook and which recall the compass rose engraved on the bonnet, an indissoluble connection between the writing instrument and the car.

    This Ferrari Roma Spider represented an unparalleled opportunity for research and development on materials and processing to further extend the wealth of personalisation options offered by the Tailor Made department. So it is that the car becomes part of the special ‘One of a Kind’ exhibition installed at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, which offers visitors a specific immersive experience of the personalisation programmes to which Ferrari clients have access: together with the interactive wall enabling a physical experience of materials, fabrics, colours and the vast range of options that the Ferrari Styling Centre provides for clients, the installation is now enhanced with the particular materials chosen for the Ferrari Roma Spider Tailor Made to make it unique. The car will stay on display at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena until February 2025.

    As you know, the Concours d’Elegance at Pebble Beach is one of the most prestigious events in the automobile world. And it is no wonder that Ferrari team decided to participate with this beauty. Ferrari, known for its incredible style and beauty this time shows a special “Rosso Ferrari” exterior with exact shade of the first Ferrari ever, the well-known 125 S. But despite the vintage influences, the team didn’t intend to go for full retro visuals and feel. The Ferrari shows nicely done front grille, ball polished rims and black brake calipers.

    But there is something else, that goes with the California T. And it is indeed the especially crafted interior. With incredible attention to the detail, Ferrari team created one more masterpiece. And the inside of the vehicle welcomes you to a place, where you feel like you should read or study. The cabin looks really comfortable and cozy with the bordeaux leather seats, and the precise detailing.

    This vehicle surely demonstrates Ferrari’s determination in creating more and more beautiful, yet comfortable and performance-focused vehicles.

  • Ferrari California T is Tailor Made for Goodwood

    Ferrari California T “Tailor Made” Front ViewFerrari California T “Tailor Made” will be the most exclusive vehicle in Ferrari’s lineup at Goodwood Festival of Speed. The car has been created specifically under the so called “Ferrari Tailor-Made” personalization programme from Maranello. As a matter of fact, the programme was developed for clients who wish to drive bespoke and extremely individual cars.

    Exterior

    The modifications on this Ferrari took inspiration by the passion and colors of the Polo and Horse racing. This California T is painted in Bianco Italia paint scheme, which has been applied in three-layers. There is also Blu Hellen double-asymmetric stripe that gives a sense of extra sportiness.

    Last but not least, the wheels of this California T have been also taken care of. They have been finished in Blu Hellen and Argento Nurburgring and come in the dimension of 20-inch.

    Interior

    Ferrari California T “Tailor Made” Interior

    The blue color is then mirrored throughout the entire interior via the luxurious Blu Sterling upholstery. To make the overall design of the car even more harmonious, the experts at Ferrari added Bianco elements and highlights.

    This particular Ferrari California T Tailor Made features new high-tech “Mycro Prestige” fabric material. It has been crafted exclusively for Ferrari. The material is highly resistant and offers an exceptional level of grip. This is because it is comprised of unique mixture of fibers that are only 0.7mm thick.

    This also contributes for the reduction of one-third of the weight of the traditional leather. Other benefits are that the Mycro Prestige fabric is flameproof, water resistant, but porous and breathable.

    Ferrari California T “Tailor Made” will be on display inside the Ferrari VIP hospitality enclosure for Ferrari clients. This is also where they will have the opportunity to see a comprehensive Tailor Made display of materials. The only aim is to inspire clients in taking action in personalizing their own Ferraris.

  • Ferrari Tailor-Made: New Personalisation Programme from Maranello

    Ferrari has announced the exclusive new personalisation programme from Maranello – Tailor-Made. It is developed for clients wishing to create a truly bespoke car that will be a clear expression of their own unique personalities and tastes.

    The client’s personal wishes and aspirations lie at the very heart of the Tailor-Made Programme. Owners are assisted and guided through the selection process by their own Personal Designer who is charged with guaranteeing that the resulting cars are both unique and consistent with the Ferrari brand and its tradition. Once the car’s details have been defined, the client can then track all of the various processes involved in its creation, right up until they take delivery. Naturally, they are very welcome to come to Maranello to pick up their car in person if they so wish.

    Creativity, research, original materials, superb craftsmanship and attention to detail are the cornerstones of the Tailor-Made programme which offers three collections inspired directly by Ferrari’s DNA: Scuderia, Classica and Inedita.

    The Tailor-Made Collections

    Maximum performance, tradition, innovation. These are the Ferrari brand core values that underpin all three collections created by the Styling Centre to inspire clients interested in the Tailor-Made programme. Scuderia, Classica and Inedita are the three different “worlds” to choose from to create bespoke Ferraris through unique combinations of the many options available.

    Guided and advised by their Personal Designer, new owners can make their selections from the collections to reflect their own personal tastes. They are also welcome to suggest innovative, new solutions and materials which the Styling Centre will then assess for compatibility.

    Scuderia

    Racing has always been the lifeblood of Ferrari which has enjoyed unparalleled success on the world’s circuits since its earliest days. The Scuderia collection is therefore very much homage to the track, a fact reflected in the materials and finishes it includes. The list of options in the Scuderia collection ranges all the way from carbon-fibre trim to technical fabrics, chamois and rubberised leather, Alcantara, microfibres, Kevlar, satin-finish and matte metals. Clients can work with the Scuderia collection to ensure their Ferraris epitomise the very pinnacle of sportiness.

    The 250 Testa Rossa, which sold at auction at Pebble Beach in August 2011 for a record $16.4 million, provided the inspiration for the 458 Spider sporting blue and white NART stripes over an historic Rosso Racing body colour. The latter’s seats are upholstered in the same leather used in the Formula 1 cars of the past – a trim that’s light, breathable and feels very much like chamois leather to the touch. The original 250 Testa Rossa had an aluminium dashboard which has now been given a innovative twist in the form of Alutex, an extremely tough, light fibreglass and aluminium material. The cabin is also trimmed with a diamond-quilted fabric inspired by the original Testa Rossa motif.

    Classica

    In the Classica collection, the styling cues and features of Maranello’s iconic GTs are given a more modern yet still classic look, through the use of the latest materials and production techniques. Elegant pastel colours of the past; the use of vintage leather, or wool, cashmere or velvet; special treatments for the hard areas of the cabin to match the exterior; chromed elements, stitching details and more natural leathers – these are just some of the options available from this collection.

    Another icon that’s been given a modern reworking in the Classic collection is the FF inspired by the 250 Europa: it has three-layer Ingrid silver paintwork with dark grey sills and rims. The cabin is a hymn to classicism with a few unusual flourishes mixed in: pinstripe cloth and dark brown semi-aniline leather seats, cashmere roof lining, grey carpet mats, interior trim inserts in the same colour as the exterior, teak-trimmed boot. The overall result is a sublimely classic atmosphere harking back to the original 250 Europa without detracting in any way from its uniqueness and elegance.

    Inedita

    Inedita does exactly what its name suggests: it introduces novel, innovative styling cues which nonetheless respect the marque’s core values. This is the most experimental of the three collections and we feel it may well give rise to some of the classic trims and finishes of the future. Denim, bold leather upholstery, suit fabrics and technical fabrics are just a few of the innovative and intriguing options available to owners who choose to personalise their cars from the Inedita collection.

    The denim-trimmed Ferrari California is a good example of what the collection offers: pale blue leather alternates with denim trim in certain areas of the cabin and seats as well as on the door panels and lower part of the dash. The areas of the cabin normally trimmed in aluminium are now dark blue carbon-fibre. The car sports a Blu Scozia livery, a historic Ferrari colour here given an all-new matte finish. The wheel rims are unusual too as their external surface is dark blue while the inside is pale blue in a nod to the contrast seen in the cockpit. A proposal that, from a point of view of styling, really does push the boundaries and sets a new benchmark in the automotive sector today.
