Ferrari SP48 Unica: a one-off F8 Tributo-based car
Ferrari SP48 Unica — the 2022 one-off car built on the F8 Tributo platform to a client's specification. Here, we delve into its origins, technical underpinnings, and what we know about it.
SP48 Unica in brief
Ferrari SP48 Unica — a one-off car produced by Ferrari’s ‘Special Projects’ programme based on the F8 Tributo. ‘Unica’ in Italian means ‘unique’.
This is a modern bespoke project where a production model receives an entirely new body.
History and creation
The ‘Special Projects’ programme, also known as the ‘Portfolio Coachbuilding Program’, was launched in 2008 to revive the tradition of creating one-off and limited-series Ferrari cars. Engineering and design are handled in-house by Ferrari, sometimes collaborating with external design studios, and the cars receive full homologation for road use.
The SP48 Unica was unveiled in 2022. According to available information, it was created for a single client, and its design differs significantly from the F8 Tributo.
Technology and significance
The base is the F8 Tributo with a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, producing around 720hp.
This car demonstrates how Ferrari adapts a modern sports platform to a client’s personal taste; the name ‘Unica’ underscores its uniqueness.
Where to see it and can it be bought
The car was created as a one-off and belongs to the client. It occasionally appears at prestigious concours.
As a one-off car, it is not for sale, and the price is not disclosed.
