For many of us, owning any Ferrari is a goal worth aspiring towards. But for some lucky ducks out there, buying new Ferraris has become such a regular occurence, Maranello has a special benefit available for them: entry into the brand’s elite club of one-off owners. We’re talking about, Ferrari’s VVIPs, people like Eric Clapton — those who’ve bought F-car after F-car over the years and proven their love for the brand many times over, who are then rewarded with a chance to create the car of their dreams.
In the past decade, only nine such cars have been built on Ferrari’s front-engined V12 models — cars like the 599 GTB and 612 Scaglietti and F12berlinetta. Now, Ferrari has added a tenth to that list. And the Ferrari Omologata might just be the sexiest one-off supercar we’ve ever seen.
FerrariThe new Omologata is based on the spectacular 812 Superfast, which needed no modification; as such, it still uses the same howling 789-hp V12 and snappy seven-speed dual clutch gearbox, and send all its power to the rear wheels. The differences are all in design; only the windshield and headlights of this one-off are shared with its “ordinary” sibling’s exterior.

FerrariThe design is clearly inspired by classic V12 F-cars like the 250 GTO, but don’t think of calling the Omologata retro; the design is an homage, but it’s also modern enough that it wouldn’t look all that out of place sitting next to the Roma and 812 GTS in Ferrari showrooms. Designed to look equally at home on the track and on the street, the car boasts an aggressive, hungry look, with its sleek design accented and augmented by sharp accents, such as the functional spoiler.
