FAQ:
Why?
Our long time Customer visually designed the concept for himself based on his love of the prancing horse V12 experience. He wanted to enjoy an “ open" drive on the AWD, V12 platform and share it with friends, family and colleagues in a true 4 seater. A depreciated FF or Lusso offers the best value in technology ( so much car for the money ) and "drive thrill" to invest the engineering and design resources to convert. Visually, for those that shy away from the existing rear silhouette of the original FF or GTC4Lusso car, this design offers a streamlined look with the value proposition of AWD V12 technology and open top functionality to connect with that V12 purr. The same conversion works for an FF or GTC4Lusso donor car. A truly unique resulting convertible.
What’s notable about the design?
The donor Ferrari’s long wheelbase provides a commanding full size presence in person. Photos rarely do it justice because it has a scale unlike any other Ferrari. Since the rear is wider than the front giving it an aggressive stance, this conversion respects this “masculinity” and retains and enhances the rear with 2 aerolons ( “humps”- he made that word up since “humps” don’t sound as cool ) that will wrap the rear headrests and flow back to the end of the trunk like a fighter jet. An offsetting two-tone metallic silver paint will accentuate these dramatic new lines that should turn heads from behind ( see scale model photo below ). Dual aerolons pay homage to so many classic convertible designs of the past. This car as a convertible scales well particularly to taller drivers who don’t feel as comfortable in smaller traditional spyders. It’s a AWD, V12 supercar convertible for 4 adults that you can drive every day.
Why sell it?
A substantial financial investment has been made by our Customer for the initial design and engineering. By offering an additional limited run of conversions to a select few like-minded enthusiasts, the cost of the engineering will be load balanced across the entire limited production run. One off bespoke projects can run $300-500K. Doing a limited production run reduces the price per car under $50K.
What is the production status?
This pristine 2013 Ferrari FF donor car is in production. The canvas roof top and motor mechanism is 95% complete ( not installed yet ). The double aerolon new deck lid design is in production now for installation soon ( see scale model ). Final delivery of this bespoke completed convertible is expected sometime in 2024. The conversion is available today for pre-order. Pics and Video will be updated regularly as this car progresses toward completion.
How do I buy a conversion?
Not yet. We need to finish the first one..
Warranty?
Yes. Three year parts and labor on all things related to the conversion. Any issues with the underlying donor car not related to the conversion remain between you and your Ferrari dealer or mechanic. No mechanical aspects of the car are modified outside the roof removal etc.
Is this Ferrari endorsed?
No. This is aftermarket and no one should mistake the resulting converted car as a product or conversion from Ferrari® itself nor affilliated with the Ferrari® brand in any way shape or form. This is why badging has been removed in promotional material to respect Ferrari®’s trademark. Individual owners for private, non-commercial use may badge their cars differently, but because we are promoting our aftermarket conversion publicly, we voluntarily removed the Ferrari® badging based on standard industry practice and respect. Other than the roof mechanism and associated reinforcement no other mods are made to the original donor Ferrari®.
What about safety?
Convertibles are inherently more dangerous than their counterpart hard top cars. That’s simply an undisputed fact. “A” pillar reinforcement and adherence to US federal safety standards is in line with the same safety standards as OEM convertibles that come directly from the original factories.
