21st October, 2014
To celebrate Ferrari’s 60th year in North America, Maranello has returned
to its 1950s and 60s tradition of producing limited edition, built-to-order cars. The result is the F60 America, of which
just 10 will be made for American buyers.
The new car combines the American client's two great passions - the V12 engine and open-top driving – and was unveiled
recently at an anniversary celebration dinner in Beverly Hills, California.
The decision to produce such a limited edition pays homage to another great tradition. Just 10 F60Americas will be
built as was the case, for example, with the 1967 275 GTS4 NART Spider, the open version of the 275 GTB4 that the
importer, Luigi Chinetti, specifically requested from Enzo Ferrari for his US clients.
The F60 America is powered by Ferrari’s mid-front-mounted V12 which enables the car to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in
just 3.1 seconds.
The F60 America’s 'persona' is instantly clear from its flanks which are characterised by a diapason design theme. The
front of the car is dominated by the classic Ferrari single front grille with chrome finish and integrated air intakes
for the brakes.
Two leather-trimmed roll-hoops are backed by carbon-fibre-trimmed flying buttresses which stretch from behind the
cabin to the rear, imbuing the harmonious forms of the tail with a sense of movement.

The Ferrari F60 America can be closed with a light fabric top usable at speeds of up to 120 km/h.
The cabin’s asymmetrical design highlights the driver’s area with sporty red trim, while the passenger side is black,
inspired by the historic Ferrari competition cars. The cabin trim is exclusive with the dash, tunnel and door panels on
the driver’s side all swathed in composite materials. The racing seats also feature a stylised American flag motif on the
centre of each seat and backrest.
The F60America’s bodywork adopts the classic North American Racing Team livery, and the special Ferrari 60th
anniversary Prancing Horse badge on the wheel arches also appears on the tunnel in the cabin.
All ten of the unique Ferrari F60 Americas are already sold.
