There is a select class of people,super wealthy enthusiasts for whom a normal Ferrari is just not enough.
Catering to such an exclusive group of people is Ferrari’s Special Projects department which over time works with company’s Styling middle team in Maranello to create special edition masterpieces with the Prancing Horse, Luxurylaunches.com reports.
[br] Their latest creation commemorates the brands 50th anniversary in Japan. Named “50′; J for Japan and 50 for the golden jubilee, and it is based on the 488 GTB Spider. The J50 is aimed to strike a feeling of nostalgia as its design elements are hugely inspired by the Ferrari’s of the 70’s and the 80’s. Most notably the black line that run up from the nose and up to the base of the windows is reminiscent of the F40 from the late eighties. The ‘helmet visor’ effect on the windscreen is inspired by the open top barchettas of the yester years.
Visible through a polycarbonate cover is the 3.9-liter turbocharged V8 that also breathes life to the 488 GTB,apart from that for the J50 it is tuned to deliver an additional 20 horses at 680bhp. Limited to just 10 units which we are sure are already sold out, the J50 will arrive in a special triple layered metallic red paint job with black over red interiors. As for the pricing it is, or should I say was available for 2.5 million Euros plus taxes.
