As part of its 60th anniversary celebrations, Ferrari will build a series of 60 unique cars, based on the 612 Scaglietti.

The cars will be offered with a two-tone livery in a combination of classic Ferrari colours.

The interior appointments will feature sophisticated colour combinations and a new-generation electrochromic glass roof with adjustable opacity.

To underline the exclusivity of this series of one-offs, each example will also boast an enamelled symbol set on the central tunnel representing one of the 60 historic events chosen to celebrate the Marque’s anniversary: from the World titles won by Ascari and Schumacher to the launch of epoch-making models such as the GTO, the F40 and the Enzo.

About Ferrari's 60th Anniversary Marathon Relay

The marathon relay celebrating Ferrari’s 60th anniversary started on 29 January 2007 from the Italian Embassy in Abu Dhabi at 10 a.m. local time.

The relay will involve over 10,000 Ferrari owners and their cars of all ages.

These will act as symbolic “bearers” of a specially commissioned relay baton adorned with 60 badges symbolising the most extraordinary events in the Marque’s 60-year history.

Abu Dhabi was chosen as the start point for the relay – which after the Middle East makes its way across China, Japan, Australia, South Africa, America and the whole of Europe – as a result of plans to build a major Ferrari theme park plus a motor racing circuit on the island of Yas in the most rapidly developing area of the Emirates’ capital.

Having left Abu Dhabi, the marathon relay will go across Middle East, China, Japan, Australia, South Africa, America and the whole of Europe. It will end at Maranello on June 23rd.

About the Ferrari Theme Park

Abu Dhabi was chosen as the start point for the relay as a result of plans to build a major Ferrari theme park plus a motor racing circuit on the island of Yas.

Scheduled to open in 2009, the new Ferrari Theme Park will cover a massive 250,000 sq m and will feature 24 themed attractions for all the family, including a 70-metre-high G-Force Tower and a twin rollercoaster ride that for the first time allows races against each other. Moreover, there are go-karting, rally driving and dune buggy tracks, and a vast array of food and beverage outlets.

In addition to the Ferrari Park, however, the 2,500-hectare Yas Island will also host a motor racing circuit, signature hotels, apartments, villas, a wide selection of restaurants, a retail area of about 300,000 sq m, golf courses, a water park, a tourist marina, a hotel overlooking the lagoon and numerous food and beverage outlets that will create a unique international tourist destination.

The Ferrari Theme Park project and construction, as well as the whole Yas Island development is by Aldar Properties, and the total investment for the Park is of around US$600 million.
