Ferrari has created a one-off special-edition Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano that will be auctioned at a charity event in Beijing next month. What makes the car different is its paint scheme. This one-of-a-kind Ferrari has been given the once-over by celebrated Chinese artist Lu Hao.
Instead of Ferrari's signature red or yellow, Lu Hao has used a "cracked glaze" paint pattern of the coveted Song Dynasty-era Ge Liln porcelain, signed by the artist himself. There is also a jade engine starter button, luggage featuring a map of the Silk Road trade route, Chinese script instruments and a name plaque.
The glazed V12 sportscar is one of 12 special edition 599 China models that will be sold in China. Lu Hao was also responsible for the paint scheme on the other cars. However, they are less polarising.
The artist opted for a body done in red - a Ferrari shade called Rosso Fuoco, or fire red - but the pillars and roof are painted a shade of medium grey. "The 599 China Limited Edition model is a true masterpiece, combining rich Chinese artistic heritage with Italian design in stunning approach," according to Ferrari Asia Pacific CEO Marco Mattiacci.
