About the One-Off Cars
One of the best points in the automotive world
is when a car is made by bespoke just like the Ferrari BR20. It’s not an
expression of the wealthiest but it’s an expression of knowing what you want;
what you exactly want and you are ready for it. Thanks to such people and such
Ferrari customers today we can talk about the BR20.
The Inspiration of the Ferrari BR20 Comes From...
The Ferrari BR20 is based on the Ferrari
GTC4Lusso platform. The BR20 exterior is inspired by the coupe models from the
1950s and 60s and combines elegance, sportiness, and styling themes that are
typical for some of the most popular 12-cylinder models in Ferrari’s history as
the Ferrari 410 SA and the Ferrari 500 Superfast.

The Fron Desing of the Ferrari BR20

The front grille of the Ferrari BR20 with its
horizontal slats gives a sense of three-dimensionality. Just like the BR20, the
front girlie is also a one-off. Moreover, the headlights are different compared
to the Ferrari GT4Lusso model. The headlights and
are placed in a lower position and the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) are slimmer
on the BR20. Thus the front bonnet looks longer which also completes the
overall front design with all the aerodynamic features on it.

All the smooth lines of the exterior design
make an impression and enhance the elegance of the Ferrari BR20. Instead of
using fenders which is a common term in car design here, we have arches that
are running lengthwise from A-pillar to the rear spoiler. Both front and rear
arches have aerodynamic openings. Thus the air goes nicely behind the front
wheels, and very gentle slides the doors and goes to the rear wheels where
other openings lead the air under the spoiler. This “flying buttress” design
theme of Ferrari connects the BR20 with the Ferrari GT traditions and the
sports cars as the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. The 20” wheels are with a tone-on-tone
diamond finish. And guess what? The wheels are specially created for the
Ferrari BR20. When the car is one-off, everything else is one-off.

At the back impression make the dual taillights
that live in a harmony with the dual tailpipes. The exhaust pipes are set in an
aerodynamic diffuser placed lower under the body. The exhaust system of the
Ferrari BR20 has active flaps and the dual round exhaust tips are also
specially designed for this one-off model.
The Ferrari BR20 has an ultra-sleek fastback line and this is achieved with an interior change - the rear seats from the original Ferrari GTC4Lusso are removed. The proportions of the car are underlined by the rear overhang design and thus the BR20 is 3 inches longer compared to the GTC4Lusso. The innovative proportions of the exterior are made thanks to radical modification of the cabin volume.
The Interior of the Ferrari BR20

Inside the Ferrari BR20, there are two shades of brown leather and carbon-fiber elements. The seats are in dark brown Heritage Testa di Moro leather with silver cross-stitching which corresponds with the exterior Silver color of the BR20. The interior is just like an estate or hatchback model where the two front seats and the luggage compartment are living under one roof. The interior details are made of oak and carbon-fiber materials.
The Engine For The Ferrari BR20
The information about the engine is shorted. So, based on the facts we already know and bearing some classic design lines of 12-cylinder models from the 50s and 60s I can suggest that under the bonnet of the BR20 there is a V12 engine. Moreover, this one-off Ferrari BR20 is based on the Ferrari GTC4Lusso model so probably the BR20 uses the 6.3L V12 engine with 681 hp @ 8,000 rpm with max torque of 514 lb. ft / 697 Nm @ 5,750 rpm.
The Ferrari BR20 is created by the will of a
long-lasting client who also had participated deeply in every step of making
the car. The BR20 kept its core design themes that a benchmark for Ferrari and at
the same time it represents inspiration.
Ferrari Special Projects
Ferrari has Special Projects program which goal is to create unique Ferraris – so-called One-Offs. These special one-off models provide exclusive design according to the clients’ requirements who are willing to have a one-of-a-kind Ferrari model. The client puts the idea on the table and the designers from Ferrari’s Styling Centre begin to work on that special project. The process is followed by defining the car’s proportions and forms, detailed design blueprints, and a styling buck before the manufacturing process. The One-Offs models are in the production stage for more than one year, from the idea to the completed production of the car, as the client follows every step of the production process with all confirmation and verification phases. Do you have a dream about Ferrari, you can have it!
