Overview
2018 FERRARI GTC4LUSSO 70TH ANNIVERSARY - THE SURTEES
Serial number: 232556
One of only five Ferraris in 'The Surtees' livery, and the only GTC4Lusso
Inspired by the World Championship winning Ferrari 158 F1 car
Completely bespoke 'Tailor Made' specification
A stunning combination of Bianco Italia, Blu Mariner and Azzurro
To celebrate its 70th anniversary, Ferrari commissioned a remarkable series of limited-edition models, using its 'Tailor Made' programme to craft specifications that would faithfully honour 70 different racing liveries from its incredible motorsport and road car history. Each livery was applied to one each of five different models: California T, 488 GTB, 488 Spider, F12 Berlinetta, and the GTC4Lusso.
The 33rd of the 70 liveries, 'The Surtees' was created by Tailor Made in tribute to the Ferrari 158 Formula One racer of 1964, which is a landmark car for a number of reasons. Firstly, because of an ongoing dispute with the motorsport authorities that refused to grant homologation to the 250 LM racing car, Enzo Ferrari made the unprecedented decision to withdraw from the 1964 season in protest, instead throwing his support behind Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team (NART) for the final two races.
While the crowds had become familiar with the 'Scuderia Ferrari' cars finished in the iconic Rosso Corsa, the team had officially pulled out. So when John Surtees and teammate Lorenzo Bandini appeared at the start line of the United States Grand Prix on 4 October 1964, their 158s were instead finished in the NART racing colours of blue and white.
After finishing second at Watkins Glen, Surtees needed to finish first or second in the final race of the season to stand a chance of beating Graham Hill. Surtees' car, sporting number 7, ended up crossing the line in Mexico in second place, while Hill was two laps behind. The victory secured not only another world title for a Ferrari F1 car, but it also cemented Surtees' place in the history books as the only person to have won World Championships on both two and four wheels.
A fitting tribute to one of the greatest competitors of all time, 'The Surtees' livery on this GTC4Lusso consists of the triple-coat colour of Bianco Italia, accented by a Blu Mariner stripe running up the bumper and bonnet only. Its racing roundel is also finished in Blu Mariner with the '7' number painted in Bianco Italia, while the lightweight forged alloy wheels are painted in glossy Azzurro.
The exhaust tailpipe tips are crafted in satin-effect stainless steel, and there are matt black grilles in the vents and intakes. The external carbon-fibre has a bespoke glossy blue finish, and there is also dedicated '70 Anni' badging. Finally, the NART-style Ferrari logo is airbrushed onto the flanks - another touch that makes it a faithful homage to the 1964 Championship-winning car.
The cabin features a unique specification of Inchiostro ('Ink') and black leather, accented throughout by vibrant Azzurro stitching, and with interior trims in matt Grigio Corsa and carbon-fibre. The overall theme uses black leather for the top sections of the dashboard and door panels, while the dark blue Inchiostro leather is used for the lower sections and main seat upholstery. Its seats are also finished with a bespoke narrow horizontal ribbing, which gives a smart period appearance in keeping with the 1964 tribute aesthetic.
Internal aluminium elements are finished in matt Grigio Corsa, along with the HMI, kick plates and the footrests, while the buttons are in black aluminium. Factory-fitted equipment includes the adaptive headlight system, Apple CarPlay, the panoramic roof, passenger display, and the upgraded Hi-Fi system. Ahead of the driver is a carbon-fibre trimmed steering wheel with LED shift lights, and a white rev counter, while the Cavallino emblem is embroidered into the headrests.
Presented in a completely unique 'Tailor Made' specification and remaining in outstanding condition throughout, this is a bespoke contemporary Ferrari grand tourer that would make an attention-grabbing addition to any collection, inspired by one of the most historically significant Formula One World Championship victories.
