This October, Ferrari will be auctioning off a one-of-a-kind vehicle: The Tailor Made 812 Competizione. The 812 Competizione is already a limited edition vehicle (999 units), but this one looks like it’s had a giant Sharpie taken to it by Chief Design Officer Flavio Manzoni.

“On the car, in matte Giallo Tristrato [i.e. Ferrari yellow], the lines composed by the designer who imagined the elegant and sporty forms of the 812 Competizione and its most iconic details have been traced in matte Nero DS Sketch [i.e. Ferrari black]. Notable among them are the carbon fibre blade that cuts across the horizontal plane of the front bonnet acting as an air intake for the engine, the characteristic louvres on the side – a tribute to the best twelve-cylinder Ferrari tradition – as well as the vortex generators on the rear screen devoid of glass, replaced by a concealed rear-view camera.”

“The same concept is echoed in the interior. The new-generation Alcantara® that covers the cockpit of this 812 Competizione, composed of 65 percent recycled polyester and presented as a world premiere on Ferrari Purosangue, is embellished with design sketches that have been embroidered directly onto it using a highly innovative technique. This is a truly unique solution, as Ferrari usually employs leather for this kind of custom motif.”
The attendant video is fun, a look at every car designer’s fantasy: The ability to sketch in 3D space.
The vehicle will be auctioned off the Ferrari Gala in NYC on October 17th, though it’s not clear where exactly the money’s going: “All proceeds will be donated to charity as part of the education support projects that have been the focal point of the Prancing Horse’s charitable activities,” the company writes.
