It’s a one-off Ferrari and no you can’t buy one. The Ferrari P80 C is a collaboration between a long-standing customer and Ferrari via the Ferrari Styling Centre. The private client wanted a unique Ferrari designed to his requirements and specifications. Work undertaken by the Ferrari Styling Centre is a bespoke service. Ferrari select individuals who are fully immersed into the culture of the brand. Collectors looking to make a fast profit are not welcome.

The P80 C is actually based on a 488 GT3 competition car. While we don’t know too much about the technical specification of the P80 C we can extrapolate what the performance figures may be.

So the Ferrari 488 GT3 4.4-litre V8 engine outputs close to 600bhp and 700Nm of torque and weighs 1,240kg, due to race regulations. Now the Ferrari P80 C is said to be faster, so we reckon an engine management software tune is worth another 60bhp because the road going version offers up 660bhp.

The P80 C has better aerodynamics and road holding than the GT3 donor car, so says Ferrari. This is because the P80 C is a track car not beholden to race regulations. The only limits were the imagination. Indeed the chassis was lengthened to accommodate the envisioned design.

Design inspiration was drawn from the 1960’s but to us the P80/C reminds us of the 288 GTO, especially the wrap-around windows.

No details have emerged regarding the price. But if you approach Ferrari to create a one-of-a-kind Ferrari then by definition it’s going to be expensive.

We reckon a starting price of around $7-12 million isn’t far off the mark. Whatever price the private client paid, you can be sure he doubled his money within 24hrs. That’s a fast profit.
