Ferrari had recently unveiled a new creation made by the personnel over at their Tailor Made personalization program. Using the F12 Berlinetta, the V12 land cruiser is used to pay homage to the car that the Ecurie Francorchamps racing team raced in to win the 1964 Tour de France; the 250 GTO.

Driven by Lucien Bianchi and Georges Berger, the 250 GTO was finished in silver with a Modena yellow stripe running across the hood. The F12 Berlinetta featured at the 2015 Dream Cars Show in Brussels, Belgium, had the same finish where the silver hue is called Argento Auteil. The yellow stripe was also not forgotten, running across the hood and the front fenders.

While the interior is mostly black, the designers had opted for a tobacco-coloured leather to achieve a vintage look. This is then contrasted with some modern-day materials which includes SuperFabric, described by Ferrari as bulletproof material with 3D texture. The material is used for the floor mats and trunk lining. The roof liner on the other hand is from a material called Mycro Prestige that is both water repellent and breathable.

The V12 however remains the same where the 6.3-liter tower of power still pushes out 730-horsepower and 508 lb-ft of torque; not that we are complaining of. Sending all of them to the rear wheels, zerotohundred is achieved in just 3.1 seconds and will keep on going to reach the top speed of 340km/h.
