A new and exclusive Ferrari one-off

Ferrari presented its new one-off, a special car made following the specific requests of a customer. His name is SP48 Unique, and is the latest addition to the one-off series released by Maranello. A model that becomes part of the most exclusive group of the entire production of the House, that of those unique cars, which are made to measure, following the requests of a customer and designed starting from his requirements.

Ferrari SP48 Unica: how it is made

The SP48 Unica, designed at the Ferrari Style Center under the direction of Chief Design Officer Flavio Manzoni, is a two-seater sports berlinetta. The starting point is the platform of the F8 Tributo (the supercar with incredible performance). Its taut lines and aggressive attitude make it unmistakable, thanks also to the sharp and forward-projected front. A special effect, also achieved thanks to the redesign of the front headlights and the repositioning of the brake air intake.

For the special realization of this unique car, Ferrari used parametric-procedural modeling techniques and 3D prototyping (additive manufacturing) which allowed engineers and designers to completely rethink the shape of the grille and the engine air intakes. The feeling of continuity of the models and the fullness of the surfaces is also due to this advanced production process, which has allowed us to create perfect 3D grids obtained from the full volume.

The graphic solutions instruct the overall design of the SP48 Unica: the transition from black to body color is very evident, involving windows, roof and bonnet. The visor effect of the front is accentuated by the reduction of the side window area and the elimination of the rear window. The new Ferrari SP48 Unica unveils a refined play of symmetries and continuity, suggested by the lines that make up the design.

The personalization of the interior

The passenger compartment resumes the technical identity of the F8 Tributo, the rear window was eliminated and an intense search for the combination of colors and upholstery that best suited the sporty, racy and aggressive character of the SP48 Unica was carried out. An example of this is the use of black Alcantara with ad hoc laser perforations, used for the seats and a large part of the passenger compartment, under which you can see the iridescent fabric from red to orange (like the bodywork). Its motif echoes that of the hexagons that fade from the grilles and the procedural livery on the roof, giving the car a pleasant effect of continuity between interior and exterior.

Those who enter and sit in the new one-off Ferrari SP48 Unica remain immediately attracted also by the polished covers with the same hexagonal motif imprinted with the laser. The interiors are expertly embellished, in a very elegant and unique way, by matte carbon fiber that gives a very technical touch to the passenger compartment, completed by finishes in Gunmetal Gray.

The one-off Ferrari SP48 Unica was designed for a loyal customer of the Prancing Horse House that was involved in every phase of its creation, a special custom-made project. A car that therefore represents a bold reinterpretation of a sports berlinetta, capable of enhancing its racing soul and its vocation for speed. The one-off has a great goal: to transform an existing model in an original and effective way, drawing inspiration and at the same time paying homage to the fundamental values ​​of the brand, namely innovation and passion.
