Ferrari is launching a special edition of its 599 GTB Fiorano equipped with the
HGTE (Handling Grand Turismo Evoluzione) package, which will be built in a
highly exclusive run of less than a dozen cars. The special edition models go by
the name �599 GTB Fiorano HGTE China Limited Edition� and were developed
together with Chinese artist Lu Hao.
One of those will be auctioned-off as a unique, one-of-a-kind edition itself,
signed by artist Lu Hao, who has added his artistic touches to the limited
edition series. The bidding will take place at a charity gala auction in Beijing
that Ferrari will be holding on November 3rd.
The models come in a two-tone color scheme, featuring a special Rosso Fuoco red
paint scheme and a grey roof. A special touch added by Hao is an ancient Chinese
script called "Xiao Zhuan" to engrave a name plaque for each edition as well as
mark the car throughout, such as on the engine starter button and the rev
counter.
"The 599 China Limited Edition model is a true masterpiece, combining rich
Chinese artistic heritage with Italian design in a most spectacular way," says
Ferrari Asia Pacific CEO Marco Mattiacci.
Some of the charitable proceeds have been earmarked for Chinese students in the
automotive engineering field.
