Touring Superleggera's Ferrari restomod celebrates the company's 100th anniversary
What's the story
Touring Superleggera has unveiled the Veloce12 Aperta, a unique restomod based on the Ferrari 550 Maranello. The car was launched at the Monterey Car Week to mark the Milan-based company's 100th anniversary. The Veloce12 Aperta is the third model in its family, after the Coupe and Barchetta. It combines high performance with long-distance travel comfort, making it an ideal "weekender" for two people.
Design details
The car offers an open-air driving experience
The Veloce12 Aperta stands out for its open-air driving experience. It replaces the traditional soft top with two lightweight, stowable panels.
The car also features an elegant aluminum hoop behind the cabin, which Touring describes as a "crown" for the vehicle.
Despite being a purist grand tourer, it offers an impressive luggage capacity of 11.5 cubic feet and comes with bespoke luggage sets from Rimowa and leather cases by Giosa Milano.
Performance specs
It can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.4 seconds
The Veloce12 Aperta is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V12 engine that produces 523hp at 7,000rpm.
It sends power to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission with a traditional chrome shifter on the center console.
The car can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 290km/h.
To match its performance with chassis dynamics, Touring has also added carbon-fiber-reinforced structure and TracTive adaptive suspension into the mix.
Legacy tribute
The model pays homage to touring's golden era
The Veloce12 Aperta is not just a new take on the Veloce12 but also a tribute to 100 years of Touring Superleggera.
The car shown at Monterey features a body finished in the refined Alba White shade, reminiscent of great Touring models from the 1960s such as Maserati 3500 GT.
Its cabin combines leather and burgundy tones with handcrafted details that highlight its bespoke nature.
