The BR20 is a two-seater V12 coupé developed on the GTC4Lusso platform.
Its two rear seats have been removed to add extra dynamism to the BR20’s ultra-sleek fastback line.
The new car is 7.6cm longer than the original, thanks to a specific rear overhang treatment designed to create a silhouette that emphasises its proportions.
One of the cornerstones of the design process for this one-off was the radical modification made to the cabin volume.
The new cabin design solution creates the impression of a pair of arches running lengthwise from A-pillar to rear spoiler.
The rear volume of the arch has been hollowed out to create an aerodynamic channel with the air outlet concealed by the black rear fascia under the spoiler.
This modern take on Ferrari’s “flying buttress” theme firmly connects the car to signature Prancing Horse styling cues not just from Ferrari’s GT tradition, but also sports cars such as the 599 GTB Fiorano.
To visually lighten the cabin, the black paint of the roof visually connects the windscreen to the rear screen, which stands above the surface of the rear tailgate as if to channel the air flow.
A muscular rear bumper melds with the aggressive look of the rest of the car: twin taillights create a visual dialogue with the tailpipes, which are lower and set into a prominent aerodynamic diffuser with active flaps on the underbody.
Even the BR20’s twin round exhaust tips were designed especially for this bespoke model.
The BR20’s many carbon-fibre details highlight the edgy dynamic characteristics and powerful performance of this four-wheel drive car.
High sills add an extra hint of dynamism to the lower section of the flanks as well as emphasising the front air vents on the wheel arches.
The wide front grille sports an upper carbon-fibre element, a note of stylistic consistency with other recent Ferrari one-offs, while unusual chrome side inserts help underline the car’s front stance.
The front grille’s new horizontal slats lend a sense of three-dimensionality.
A virtually endless list of elements was designed specifically for the BR20, not least its modified headlights. They are lower in height compared to those of the GTC4Lusso with slimmer DRLs, which makes the bonnet seem even longer and sleeker. The 20” tone-on-tone diamond-finish wheels were also created especially for this unique car.
The BR20’s interior is trimmed in two shades of brown leather and carbon-fibre as specified by the customer.
The seats are trimmed in dark brown Heritage Testa di Moro leather and sport an exclusive pattern at the front as well as silver cross-stitching.
The cabin volume runs uninterrupted from the windscreen to the luggage compartment at the rear, creating a sense of lightness and airiness for occupants.
Oak trim with carbon-fibre inserts adorns the rear bench and luggage deck, which conceals a deeper loading area when folded flat, as well as the door handles.
The BR20 was made under Ferrari's Special Projects programme.
Each project comes from an idea put forward by the customer and developed with a team of designers from Ferrari’s Styling Centre.
After having defined the car’s proportion and forms, detailed design blueprints and a styling buck are produced before starting the manufacturing process of the new One-Off.
The entire process lasts on average more than one year, during which the customer is involved in assessing the design and verification phases.
