Ferrari to Auction Off Unique Hand-Painted 599 China Special in Beijing

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Auctions, Charity

A Ferrari's a coveted object. A limited edition Ferrari even more so. But a one-of-a-kind Ferrari is another ballgame altogether. The path to the unique creation you see here passed through all those phases, and then some.

The Italian exotic automaker recently updated its flagship 599 GTB Fiorano supercar with the Handling GT Evoluzione package and took its dynamic performance to another level. But for the Chinese market, Ferrari unveiled a limited run of 12 special editions, with unique design touches carried out by Chinese artist Lu Hao. And of those 12, one has been made even rarer.

The artist has taken this solitary example and hand painted a greenish pearl white pattern reminiscent of the coveted Ge Liln porcelain of the Song dynasty. It's the only one of its kind to be made, and will be auctioned off for charity at a special event to be held in Beijing on November 3, where one collector/benefactor will drive away in this most special of special editions.

Red Prancing Horse, meet the Red Dragon. As mainland China steadily moves away from a communist system to a capitalist economy, the country and the upper crust of its billion+ inhabitants have turned into a vital market for Ferrari, and to mark the growing centrality of the Chinese market to Maranello's global expansion, Ferrari has made this special edition 599 GTB Fiorano.

Designed in conjunction with Chinese artist Lu Hao, the 599 China Limited Edition features such unique details as a rev-counter with ancient Chinese characters, a jade-green starter button and special fitted luggage decorated with the Silk Road that Italian explorer Marco Polo took across China. Add to that the HGTE performance package and a gray roof to mirror the experimental 599XX's and you've got one very special edition indeed. But Ferrari will only be offering a dozen examples, exclusively available in China.
