Designed by Pininfarina, just six of these incredibly rare roadsters are being built. The car was created to celebrate the spirit and core values of the historic Cambiano company in the 60th anniversary year of its collaboration with the Italian supercar creators. The car was dubbed the Sergio in homage to the great Sergio Pininfarina, who sealed the unique, longstanding partnership with Ferrari.
The radical car is focused entirely on performance and is fully focused on fun behind the wheel and the pleasure of design at its purest. Based on the 458 Spider, it retains the technological content as well as all of the functional aspects of its cockpit. It is powered by the latest 605 hp version of Ferrari’s naturally aspirated 4497 cc V8 and can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3 seconds.
In terms of design, Pininfarina has integrated the headlights turning them into a single transparent transverse element, a signature of the car’s extreme formal purity. And at the rear, the circular tail lights are another modern nod to Ferrari history. The two-tone theme continues on both the front bonnet and rear deck – which features the iconic circular air vents seen on other iconic Pininfarina creations from the past.
In the cockpit, things have been kept simple, stylish and functional, with luxurious leather trim and carbon fibre everywhere and the engine compartment is nestled against the backs of the seats.
The example featured – that was delivered to Abu Dhabi – has three-layer red exterior paintwork and an extremely sporty cockpit with black leather upholstery with contrasting red stitching, Alcantara seat inserts, and extensive carbon dash and door well trim. It also features Sergio-specific forged wheels, in this instance gold in colour with a diamond finish.
However, each one of the six Ferrari Sergios was configured by its owner in dedicated sessions at the Tailor Made atelier in Maranello where clients are invited to personalise their cars to their own individual tastes. The atelier offers enormous freedom of choice in terms of colours, materials and finishes. As a result, every detail is extremely exclusive, thereby continuing the Prancing Horse tradition that began in the 1950s and 60s of creating bespoke cars minutely tailored to each client’s wishes.
