New Tailor-Made Ferrari F12berlinetta Pays Tribute to 250 GTO

At the 2015 Dream Cars Show in Brussels, Ferrari presented a bespoke version of the F12berlinetta made through its Tailor Made personalization program.

The V12-powered car pays homage to the Ecurie Francorchamps racing team and more specifically, the 250 GTO in which Lucien Bianchi and Georges Berger won the 1964 Tour de France.

On the outside, it gets an Argento Auteil silver body paint with a Modena yellow stripe running across the bonnet.

Ferrari's designers gave the F12berlinetta a vintage look in the interior through the use of tobacco Soul leather seat upholstery, triangular-pattern metal plates on the floor mimicking the classic race cars of the past, and body-colored silver trim with yellow stripes on the dash and doors .

Additionally, Ferrari says the headliner and side panels are dressed in Mycro Prestige, described as "a soft, light, water-repellent and breathable fabric", while the boot trim and available floor mats in SuperFabric, "a tough, super-grippy bulletproof material featuring a 3D design".
