Exclusive US special edition Ferrari

The car is scheduled to be unveiled in October at ‘Race Through The Decades 1954-2014’ event which is said to feature 60 historic Ferrari’s and will run throughout the day on Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive.

Details are limited at the moment, but outgoing Chairman Luca di Montezemolo confirmed that they 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.”

Minor details that have come to light are that the car will be painted in blue with white stripes, the same colours used by the Ferrari North American Racing Team from the 1960s to the 1980s.

It’s suspected that the special edition Ferrari will be based on the 552 kW V-12 F12 Berlinetta two-seat coupe but will instead feature a specific body and interior.

Apart from the announcement about the special edition model, the Italian sports car marque reported record revenues for the first half of 2014. Ferrari said it sold 3631 cars in the first half of 2014, down 3.6 percent from a year earlier, however, the company posted recorded revenues of $1.6 billion (about R17.6 billion) and a net profit of $165 million (which is about R1.8 billion).
