Ferrari SP48 Unica, the whim of a client.
Money cannot buy happiness, but it can do much good. He said he was looking for a client who asked ferrari that they make a custom car for you, according to your taste, and that it is unique and will never be repeated.
And so that there are no doubts about its condition, it is baptized as Ferrari SP48 Uniquea two-seater coupe with a V8 biturbo engine and a style that only its owner can wear.
This creation is a one-off (unique) of the Special Projects department of the Italian brand (Special Projects, hence the acronym SP bearing the model name), dedicated to fulfill the wishes of the very rich man.
The Ferrari SP48 Unica was created based on the F8 Tribute.
Responsible for the design of this supercar was the Ferrari Stile Center, under the direction of its Chief Designer, Flavio Manzoni, who was ultimately responsible for the appearance of the car brand. Cavallino.
The Special Projects program aims to create unique models characterized by a exclusive design based on what a customer demands, who thus becomes the owner of a completely unique model in the world.
Each project begins with the client’s idea, developed together with a team of designers from the Ferrari Style Center. After defining the design aspects, it is time to create detailed technical drawings and a mock-up, before starting the construction of the car.
The Ferrari SP48 Unica is designed according to the client’s request.
The process lasts more than a year, where the client participates in all stages of design development and verification. The result of this activity is a unique Ferrari because there is only one unit in the world, with the logo of Prancing Horse and built to Maranello house standards.
Base series, single figure
This model is built on the F8 Tribute platform and has some of its features that allow it to be distinguished from the base vehicle. But this coupe reinforces tighter lines and a sharp, aggressive figure.
One of the key design points of this unique model is the intensive use of modeling techniques that allow Ferrari designers to completely redesign the shape of the grille and the engine air intakes.
This production process is allowed to create 3d grill perfect, full of volume in its entirety, transmits a sense of continuity and dynamic fluidity.
On the Ferrari SP48 Unica the rear window has been removed.
These bodywork graphic solutions interact directly with the grilles and affect the overall design of the SP48 Unica. Particularly noteworthy is the transition from black to body color applied to windows, roof and hood.
From a high point of view, you will appreciate more the stylist-level work released by SP48 Unica, which showcases fine game of symmetry and continuity proposed by the lines that make up its design.
The most obvious change compared to the F8 Tribute are the air intakes on the front bumper and under the rear spoiler to cool the engine.
It was not reported how much the client who ordered the Ferrari SP48 Unica paid.
With this option of shaping the exterior design to his liking, the owner chose removing the rear window and, according to Ferrari, within the combination of colors and upholstery was sought to best suit the fine, sporty and aggressive nature of the SP48 Unica.
It illustrates the use of black alcantara with specially made laser perforations that cover most of the seats and in the cabin, where you can see red to orange fabric that is the same color as the bodywork. Unfortunately, the company did not release photos of the interior.
The Ferrari SP48 Unica was created for a loyal clientele of Prancing Horse who actively participated in every stage of its creation. According to the company’s vision, the car achieves the goal of transforming an existing model in an original and effective way, drawing inspiration from and at the same time honoring the core values of the brand.
The roof and trunk of the Ferrari SP48 Unica have works not yet seen in other models of the brand.
