The Ferrari Sergio Makes its Production Debut
When Ferrari and Pininfarina first debuted their Sergio concept car, no one in their right mind would have thought it’d ever make its way down the production line. Well, I guess anything can happen, as Ferrari delivered the first production version of this wild concept to a buyer in the Middle East. Granted, the production model is toned way down when compared to the concept, but it’s still awesome nonetheless.
The production model is clearly based on the current-generation 458 Italia, but it features a fully reworked body that only slightly resembles its donor car. The front fascia is all-new, with fully redesigned headlights that are connected by a center lens. The rear end features a hood with circular vents that pays homage to Pininfarina cars of yesteryear, while the circular taillights remain as a staple of the Ferrari brand. Pretty much every element found on the concept car, sans the windshield-less design, carries over to the production version, just in a more scaled-down manner. Even the rear roll hoop/spoiler carries over.
On the inside, things are about as typical as they can be for a Ferrari, as the cabin is nearly all 458. The cabin of the first car delivered in the Middle East (pictured) features black leather upholstery with red accent stitching, Alcantara seat insets, and carbon-fiber dash and door trim.
Under the hood, this concept turn production car features the 458’s standard 4.5-liter, V-8 engine. This powerplant sits behind the seats and injects 605 horsepower into this custom supercar. The engine affords the Ferrari Sergio a 0-to-60-mph time of three seconds.
In terms of production numbers, the Sergio will is limited to only six units, and all six are reportedly accounted for. Rumor has it that the six Ferrari Sergios set their buyers back more than $3 million each. According to Ferrari, each buyer was invited to the factory in Maranello where he could customize his Sergio to his liking.
Given the price and rarity of these cars, these images are about as close as we’ll ever come to seeing one.
