As we’re expecting the new Icona model based on the legendary Ferrari 330 P4 to make its debut this month, Ferrari’s Special Projects division unveiled a new one-off creation on Thursday for one dedicated customer.

Here are ten interesting facts about the new V12-powered Ferrari BR20:

  1. The Ferrari BR20 has been built on the platform of the GTC4 Lusso, but has a three-inches-longer wheelbase according to Ferrari.

  2. The new model retains the 6.3-liter V12 engine of the GTC4Lusso, but is now tuned to deliver 680 horsepower.

  3. Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre led by Flavio Manzoni, the Ferrari BR20 features styling cues inspired by Ferraris of 1950s and 1960s, like the 410 SA and the 500 Superfast, with certain reminiscences of other Ferraris of the past.

  4. The two rear seats from the GTC4Lusso have been removed and replaced by a new storage section. This allowed designers to turn the car into a pure two-seater coupe with a sleek roofline that has a fastback-like styling.

  5. The interior features a dark brown ‘Heritage Testa di Moro’ leather with silver cross-stitching and carbon-fiber accents.

  6. The headlights are now slimmer and lower than those on the GTC4Lusso, which makes the hood seem even more imposing.

  7. The front features a widened front grille including special horizontal strips.

  8. An aerodynamic channel in the rear pillar creates a flying buttress, while the roof is painted black.

  9. The four-wheel-drive supercar has a muscular rear bumper, quad tailpipes, active aerodynamic diffusers, 20-inch diamond cut wheels, and carbon fiber accents.

  10. Ferrari has not revealed the identity of the passionate client that commissioned the BR20, nor has it revealed the car's price. The only hint we know is that the client was “deeply involved” in the creation of the car.

“Designed for a longstanding client who was deeply involved in every step of its creation, the BR20 represents a true interpretation of the traditional coachbuilder’s art,” says Ferrari. What do you think of the BR20's design? Let us know!
