Ferrari debuts new F60 America sportscar

Only 10 units of the F60 America will made by the Italian automaker – and all 10 are already have owners.

Ferrari makes some of the slickest sports cars in the world and lately it has introduced several new models. However, the production run is limited, making the cars very rare and very collectible. The latest is the Ferrari F60 America, revealed in Beverly Hills, Calif., this week. The supercar’s name pays homage to the Italian automaker 60 year anniversary since its eponymous founder Enzo Ferrari first imported his cars into the U.S.

Ferrari has no problem lining up buyers before the cars are delivered, and F60 America will be ultra-rare even by the company’s standards. Only 10 units – each costing a reported $2.5 million – will be produced, yet all already have buyers, according to the UK Telegraph’s Michael Harvey, who writes that the “market for ultra-luxury new cars is morphing into a high-octane analog for the art market.”

The F60 America joins the recently announced LaFerrari and 499 Speciale A, which will have a production run of 499. To buy one of these, well-heeled buyers must be in favor by Ferrari, which tells Harvey it uses “a complicated algorithm” to figure out who to invite.

Under the hood, the F60 America is based on the F12 super GT and features a 6.3-liter V12 engine in the front that generates 730 hp and reaches 210 mph. The F60 has changed gearbox ratios that “make it more accelerative at the expense of top speed,” The Telegraph’s Harvey writes.

The exterior is an interpretation that embodies the spirit of the 275 GT4S NART Spider with modified nose and tail, a flat rear deck and a white strip along the length of the car meant as a tribute to Enzo Ferrari’s original U.S. importer Luigi Chinetti and his 1960s North American Racing Team.

The Ferrrari F60 America interior features read seats and red carbon fibre trim, but black seats and black trim are available as well.
