The Original Still Is.AdvertisementAdvertisementWhat separates this example from anything that follows it is a configuration built through the Ferrari Tailor Made program, the arm of the company that lets buyers work directly with the Ferrari Design Studio on one-off specifications. The concept behind this build is light, explored almost entirely through variations of white.The exterior wears a Madreperla Semi-Gloss finish created specifically for the car. The paint relies on a dedicated Tailor Made pigment that throws iridescent reflections shifting from green to violet depending on how light strikes the body. The semi-gloss treatment sits between full gloss and matte, a balance intended to keep the pearlescent depth intact while emphasizing the sculpting of the panels. The application process is complex enough that no two examples would come out with identical chromatic character.Inside, the theme continues with Le Mans metallic leather in Perla, an exclusive material developed for Tailor Made and sourced from selected Swiss hides. The leather is unusually soft and reflective, scattering light through the cabin. Secondary interior elements are finished in Grigio Corvara rather than the customary black, a first for Ferrari and a choice meant to preserve the car's luminous consistency. Bespoke touches extend to dedicated wheels, custom brake calipers and a Ferrari logo mounted against an optical white background made only for this car.Related Articles5X More Entries for Readers — Patriotic Corvette Duo Could Be Yours Through the Dream GiveawayThe "Felon Daytona" Didn't Sell for $355,000.
