Ferrari sells hundreds of vehicles yearly, however solely a tiny handful of consumers are fortunate and rich sufficient to design their very own. Known as BR20, the Italian agency’s newest one-off is a GTC4Lusso-based tribute to historic V12-powered coupes that steers away from retro design cues.
Visually, nothing means that the one-of-a-kind supercar is expounded to the GTC4Lusso. Its entrance finish has been fully redesigned with a reshaped grille and smaller headlights, however the largest adjustments are out again, the place the breadvan-like roof line has been considerably flattened to offer the automotive a silhouette worthy of the fastback label. Ferrari notes that the BR20 subtly references a number of the coupes it constructed through the Fifties and the Nineteen Sixties, like the five hundred Superfast, when it comes to styling and philosophy with out adopting an excessively heritage-laced look.
Quite a few components have been developed particularly for the BR20, together with the aforementioned headlights, the 20-inch wheels, and the exhaust suggestions. It is a barely completely different story inside, the place the GTC4Lusso‘s fundamental format (together with the 4 spherical air vents and the large display screen on the middle stack) is immediately recognizable. Nevertheless, the client who commissioned the BR20 requested two shades of brown leather-based upholstery with white cross-stitching and several other carbon fiber accents. And, giving the roof line extra rake required eradicating the rear seats, however this is not a stripped-out race automotive: Ferrari could not depart the area empty. It fitted a parcel shelf that options oak and leather-based surfaces.
Mechanical specs have not been revealed but; all we all know is that the BR20 is powered by a V12 engine that sends its energy to the 4 wheels. For context, the GTC4Lusso (which went out of production in 2020) was fitted with a 6.3-liter V12 tuned to develop 681 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 516 pound-feet of torque at 5,750 rpm. It spins the 4 wheels by way of a seven-speed automated transmission.
Ferrari is holding two extra parts underneath wraps: the undertaking’s price and the customer’s id. Time will inform whether or not the BR20’s proprietor retains it stashed in a non-public assortment or proudly shows it on the subsequent vehicles and occasional occasion. And, whereas that is the most recent one-off from the Prancing Horse, it is actually not the final. Ferrari created a division known as Particular Initiatives that is tasked with making these vehicles a actuality, and it appears like the oldsters working in it are holding busy. Earlier one-offs embrace the 488 GT3-derived P80/C and the 488 GTB-based SP38.
