Ferrari SP275 RW Competizione: The One-Off Supercar

Singular Icon - When people talk about cars that go beyond being just a mode of transportation, Ferrari always finds its way into the conversation. The Italian brand has a reputation for crafting machines that are as much about emotion and design as they are about speed. Every now and then, Ferrari goes a step further by creating a one-off masterpiece, a car built only once for a very special client. One such creation is the Ferrari SP275 RW Competizione, a car that blurs the line between history and modern engineering.

This unique model was built for Rick Workman, a Ferrari enthusiast from Florida, and it’s unlike anything else on the road. The SP275 RW Competizione takes its foundation from the F12 Berlinetta, but Ferrari’s designers and engineers transformed it into something with its own identity. Its exterior pays homage to the legendary 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale, with design cues that nod to the past while still feeling fresh today. Painted in a striking shade of yellow, the car immediately grabs attention, while its front and rear bumpers recall the flowing lines of the 275. At first glance, some might even find hints of the Lusso Berlinetta that made waves at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, thanks to its smoother, cleaner shape.

Ferrari’s design team avoided unnecessary clutter, stripping away extra hood scoops and instead letting the body’s curves speak for themselves. The headlights were chosen carefully too, resembling those seen on the rare Ferrari F60 America. The result is a car that feels both contemporary and timeless, a perfect blend of elegance and aggression. 

Underneath its sleek surface, Ferrari gave this special model the heart of a true competitor. It carries the same 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 found in the F12 TdF. That engine produces a jaw-dropping 769 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, numbers that remind everyone this isn’t just a pretty face. It’s a machine built to thrill, capable of delivering a driving experience that is raw, powerful, and unmistakably Ferrari.

The SP275 RW Competizione has already made appearances beyond private garages. It was shown during Ferrari’s Finali Mondiali, an event that gathers some of the most extraordinary Ferraris ever made, including rarities like the F60 America and the P540 Superfast. Seeing it displayed among such icons highlights just how special this one-off really is. 

Cars like the SP275 RW Competizione don’t just showcase Ferrari’s engineering and design brilliance, they also reflect the brand’s ability to connect history with the present. By combining classic inspiration with cutting-edge performance, Ferrari gave Rick Workman not just a car, but a rolling piece of art that carries the spirit of the prancing horse into the future. It’s proof that sometimes, building just one car can leave a lasting mark on automotive history. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARSCOOPS | FERRARICHAT ]
