A Two-Seater, All-Wheel-Drive V12 Coupé Based on the GTC4Lusso Platform

The BR20, described as a unique, completely bespoke model created to express the client's specific desires, is a two-seater, all-wheel-drive V12 coupé developed on the GTC4Lusso platform.
Its philosophy and approach subtly incorporate styling themes from iconic V12 models in Ferrari's history, such as the "410 SA" and "500 Superfast" from the 1950s and 60s. It is said to have masterfully achieved the challenging task of blending timeless elegance with robust sportiness, entirely free from any sense of nostalgia.
To enhance the sleek fastback lines, Flavio Manzoni's design team removed the rear seats from the GTC4Lusso, creating a two-seater configuration. The body is three inches longer than the original, with a distinctive rear overhang that accentuates a beautifully proportioned silhouette.
The cabin features an impression of two arches connecting the front and rear, from the A-pillar to the rear spoiler. The bulge behind the arch is sculpted to create an aerodynamic channel, with the air outlet concealed by a black band beneath the spoiler. This modern interpretation of Ferrari's "flying buttress" theme not only honors the tradition of Ferrari GT cars but also creates a strong connection to the spirited styling found in sports cars like the "599 GTB Fiorano." To give the cabin a visually lighter feel, the roof is painted black.
At the rear, which features twin taillights, even the tips of the cylindrical tailpipes were custom-designed for this bespoke model. The underbody incorporates active flaps.
At the front, carbon fiber elements are fitted above the grille, maintaining stylistic consistency with recent Ferrari one-off models. A striking feature of the front grille is its new horizontal slits, creating a powerful sense of depth. The headlights are positioned lower than on the GTC4Lusso, making the bonnet appear even longer and sleeker. The 20-inch wheels with a two-tone diamond finish were also specially crafted for this unique car.
The interior is trimmed in two shades of brown leather and carbon fiber. The seats are upholstered in a dark brown leather called Heritage Testa di Moro, featuring a special pattern and silver cross-stitching on the front. The cabin offers a unique, bright, and airy feel, with an unobstructed view from the windshield to the rear luggage area. The rear bench and luggage deck are finished with oak and carbon fiber inserts; when folded flat, they reveal a deep cargo space and door handles.
Ferrari explains, "Designed for a long-standing client who was deeply involved in every stage of the creative process, the Ferrari BR20 is a prime example of traditional coachbuilding artistry. It transforms an existing model with exceptional engineering and unique flair, completing a car that pays homage to Ferrari's core principles of innovation and passion."
