Default One-Of-A-Kind Ferrari GG50 Casually Parked In Geneva Garage -

March 7th, 2007 2:50 AM


This is something you’ll see only in Geneva, or perhaps Italy (where the car is registered): the one-of-a-kind Ferrari GG50, a special design that Giorgetto Giugiaro gave to himself on the company’s 50th anniversary in 2005. It’s based on the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (although slightly shorter) and retains the same mechanical bits and pieces.

To find this car sitting in a parking lot is a little like finding Heidi Klum sitting in the waiting room at your dentist’s office. Sure, it could happen, but it’s near impossible that the stars would align (or that we would actually remember to schedule our six-month checkup, but that’s a different story). We saw the car after sitting in our idling Saab 9-5, waiting to exit the Geneva Motor Show last night. We loved how used it looked–replete with splattered road mud. Notice how the well-over-a-million-dollar Ferrari wasn’t even double parked.

We never got a peek at the driver, but was it Giugiaro himself ?

Yeah that interior is the best looking Ferrari interior I've seen to date.

The tails don't sit right on that rear. If you're gonna design something for yourself you might as well make it perfect.

I agree.

The car looks bloated, like the Toyota Solara.

The interior is well designed, but where's the front passenger seat?

It's a 3 seat coupe. The passenger seat is actually on the rear right side of the car. The empty space you see are for those 7'3 NBA players. The seat right next to it rivals that of the SC430. It's meant for midgets.
