ferrari has released the following press release:

new ferrari special projects one-off to debut at villa d’este

maranello, 19 may 2011 – new york collector and ferrari enthusiast peter kalikow visited the factory to take delivery of his special projects ferrari superamerica 45, a unique one-off model. styled internally by ferrari design and engineered and built in-house, the car was specified by mr kalikow to celebrate 45 years since he first became a ferrari client and will make its public debut on the 20th of may at the villa d’este concorso d’eleganza.

the design is bespoke, featuring a carbon-fibre rotating hard-top which incorporates a rear screen. the boot is entirely new to house the roof when open, and is now in carbon-fibre with a design optimised to reduce drag and increase rear downforce.

the rear buttresses are body-coloured, integral with the rear wheelarches, and incorporate rear quarterlights. the side view is further distinguished by double air vents on the front wing. the ferrari superamerica 45 also features a specific chromed front grille and special burnished aluminium a-pillars, wing mirrors and door handles. 

the superamerica 45 is finished in an exclusive blu antille, a colour that matches another important car in the client’s collection – a 1961 400 superamerica cabriolet nr. 2331sa. the wheels are body-coloured with a contrasting diamond finish to the spokes. the roof and other carbon-fibre elements of the bodywork – front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser – are in a special contrasting darker blue, a theme that is carried over to the cockpit which features dark blue carbon-fibre dash trim and driver zone.

the interior is another area of exquisite personalisation, with a carefully selected combination of cuoio leather trim and blu scuro carbon fibre details and a latest-generation touch-screen infotainment system.
