Ferrari reportedly Mulling Uber-Exclusive US Special Model

Ferrari pretty much owes its existence to the success it’s had and keeps having in the United States. The brand has a bigger and more fanatical following there than anywhere else in the world, and now the Americans’ loyalty will be acknowledged yet again by a purported new limited series model designed to mark the six decades of Ferrari sales in the US.

Apparently, only ten examples will be built, though that’s pretty much all we know as of yet. AutoExpress says Ferrari’s now ex-chairman de Montezemolo stated that, “to celebrate Ferrari’s 60th year in the USA, we have developed a special car of which just 10 examples will be built, in addition to planning a major event in Los Angeles to bring together all our American clients and collectors, and a charity initiative.”

The announcement coincides with Ferrari’s best sales year ever – they may have sold fewer cars than last year, but their revenues went up by 14.5 percent.

As you can imagine, this one should be good – expect to see it unveiled at a special venue held specifically for the occasion, on October 12, in Lost Angeles, California.
 
US-only Ferrari limited edition model costs $3.2 million, already sold out
Debuts October 12
Ferrari has disclosed more details about thespecial edition model set to be offered exclusively in United States.

At his very least public speaking act as Ferrari chairman, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo said the special edition model designed to celebrate the company's 60th anniversary in United States will cost approximately $3.2 million and will be built in a limited series of 10 units. In addition, the car will have a blue exterior paint scheme with white stripes as a reference to the colors used by the North American Racing Team (NART) which between the 60s and 80s used Ferraris.

The special model will be unveiled during a gala dinner on October 12, just a day before di Montezemolo will be replaced by Sergio Marchionne. It is believed the vehicle - which has already been sold out - will be based on the F12 Berlinetta but with a different exterior along with a modified cabin.

Ferrari F12 TRS
Will be revealed on October 12
A new report indicates the upcoming US-only Ferrari limited edition will be a spyder version of the F12 Berlinetta.

We already know Ferrari is working on a special edition model exclusively for the U.S. market and more details are starting to emerge. It is believed the model in question will be based on the F12 Berlinetta but converted into a Spyder. The rumor makes sense taking into consideration in the 60s there was a 275 GTB-4 NART produced in a limited series of ten units and all were sold only through Ferrari distributor Luigi Chinetti.

Coincidentally or not, the rumored Ferrari F12 NART Spyder (or something like that) will also be available in only ten examples and all cars have already been sold for $3.2 million a pop. The vehicles will feature a blue exterior with white stripes as a reference to the colors used by the North American Racing Team (NART).

It is believed that aside from turning the F12 into a Spyder, Ferrari will also upgrade the V12 6262cc engine which in the regular model puts out 740 HP (544 kW) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque.

We will know for sure on October 12 when the mysterious model will be officially revealed during a gala dinner. The very next day, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo will step down as Ferrari chairman and will be replaced by Sergio Marchionne.

Rumored to cost $4 million
The unique Ferrari F12 Berlinetta-based SP America has been photographed once again in United States.

It was created through Ferrari's Special Projects division and was commissioned by the CEO of Wegmans, Danny Wegman, who reportedly paid somewhere in the region of $4 million. Based on the F12 Berlinetta, the SP America has a significantly different body which pays a stylistic tribute to the iconic 250 GTO, especially with the triple hood scoop and side vents.

There aren't any modifications underneath the reshaped skin so the SP America features the same naturally-aspirated V12 6.3-liter engine outputting 740 HP (544 kW) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque. Powered is delivered to the rear wheels through an F1-derived dual-clutch transmission granting a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 3.1 seconds and a 211 mph (340 km/h) top speed.

When it came out in 2012, the F12 Berlinetta was Ferrari's fastest car ever made but now that role is attributed to the LaFerrari.

I guess if he cannot afford the real 250GTO, then this isn't too bad I suppose.
