Beauty Deborah- Ferrari, an iconic Italian automaker, has always been synonymous with luxury, exclusivity, and high performance. Known for creating cars that are as elegant as they are powerful, Ferrari consistently raises the bar when it comes to automotive design and innovation. Among their many creations, the Ferrari SP38 Deborah stands out as an extraordinary example of exclusivity and personalized craftsmanship. This one-of-a-kind hypercar is not just a vehicle; it’s a work of art that perfectly exemplifies Ferrari's dedication to custom design and exceptional performance.

The Ferrari SP38 Deborah is a direct product of Ferrari’s Special Projects division, a department dedicated to creating unique, one-off cars tailored to meet the desires of individual clients. With the SP38, Ferrari has taken exclusivity to a whole new level, as this car was built specifically for one lucky customer, making it the only model of its kind in existence. The foundation of the SP38 is the Ferrari 488 GTB, a high-performance supercar already revered for its speed and sleek design. However, Ferrari transformed the 488 GTB into something truly remarkable by incorporating personalized touches that reflect both modern aesthetics and classic inspiration.

One of the most striking aspects of the Ferrari SP38 Deborah is its vibrant red exterior, which is no ordinary shade of red. The car is painted in a special three-layer metallic color known as ‘Deborah Red,’ which gives it a unique and radiant finish. The choice of this bold red hue is a tribute to the Ferrari F40, one of Ferrari’s most iconic models from the late 1980s and early 1990s. The F40 was known for its unmatched speed, advanced engineering, and status as the fastest production car of its time. By choosing this color for the SP38, Ferrari not only honors its legacy but also connects the modern hypercar with its rich history.

The design of the SP38 merges retro elements with modern features, creating a stunning and aggressive look. At the front, the car’s low and pointed nose immediately draws attention. The design is reminiscent of the limited-edition Ferrari J50, but with even sharper lines that give the SP38 an intimidating, high-performance appearance. The ultra-thin headlights further enhance the car’s sleek and sharp front profile, while the addition of Daytime Running Lights (DRL) integrated into the front bumper adds a touch of modernity to the overall design.
Moving along the sides, the SP38 continues to exude sophistication with its minimalist windows and sleek roofline. The star-shaped wheels, complete with Ferrari’s iconic prancing horse emblem, add an additional layer of elegance to the car’s exterior. These design choices contribute to the SP38’s unique character, blending Ferrari’s signature style with innovative design concepts that make the car both timeless and futuristic.

When stepping inside the Ferrari SP38 Deborah, the interior may seem familiar to those who know the Ferrari 488 GTB, but there are subtle details that set it apart. The cabin is finished with dark Alcantara upholstery, which is not only luxurious but also durable, providing comfort during high-speed drives. Red stitching accents the seats, adding a bold contrast to the dark interior. The most personalized touch inside the car is the ‘Deborah’ name inscribed on the dashboard, a constant reminder of the car’s one-of-a-kind status.

Under the hood, Ferrari retained the impressive performance capabilities of the 488 GTB. The SP38 is powered by the same 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that generates an astonishing 661 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 760 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm. This engine, coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivers power to the rear wheels, ensuring a driving experience that is both thrilling and responsive. Ferrari has chosen to keep the mechanical aspects of the car unchanged, focusing instead on its unique exterior and interior design. However, even without modifications to the engine, the SP38 offers a level of performance that few cars can match.
The Ferrari SP38 Deborah was unveiled to the public for the first time at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este event in May 2018, a fitting debut for such an exclusive and luxurious vehicle. With an estimated price tag of €4 million, or approximately 63 billion Indonesian rupiah, the SP38 is certainly not within everyone’s reach. Yet, its rarity and the level of customization involved make it a priceless gem in the world of hypercars.
Ferrari’s ability to blend cutting-edge performance with personalized design is showcased in every detail of the SP38 Deborah. This one-off car is a true testament to Ferrari’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive design while honoring its storied past. As the SP38 continues to capture the imagination of car enthusiasts worldwide, it stands as a reminder that Ferrari’s legacy of innovation, speed, and exclusivity is alive and well. The Ferrari SP38 Deborah, in all its glory, remains an extraordinary symbol of what happens when a world-class manufacturer combines its expertise with a vision to create something truly unique. *** [EKA [09092018] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ROADSHOW | ZIGWHEELS | CARBUZZ | CARSCOOPS ]

ONE-OFF - In the world of supercars, Pagani Automobili is a name that resonates with innovation, luxury, and unparalleled craftsmanship. Among their impressive lineup, one particular creation stands out not just for its performance, but for its unique story and design. This is the Pagani Huayra Lampo, a one-off masterpiece that embodies the spirit of collaboration and artistic inspiration.

The Pagani Huayra Lampo is not your typical supercar. It was born from a close partnership between Garage Italia Customs and Pagani Automobili, a relationship that spanned two years of meticulous planning and creative exploration. This collaboration led to the birth of a car that is as rare as it is stunning, drawing inspiration from a rather unexpected source—the 1954 Fiat Turbina Concept.

The influence of the Fiat Turbina is evident in the Huayra Lampo's distinctive livery. The car features a bespoke red and white color scheme that harks back to the iconic design of the 1954 concept. However, Pagani, known for its attention to detail and artistry, added its own twist to the livery. The car's name, "Lampo," meaning lightning in Italian, is a fitting descriptor for both its visual impact and the power it commands on the road.

The paintwork on the Huayra Lampo is more than just a simple color application. The red-and-white scheme is adorned with lightning bolt logos, rendered in the vibrant colors of the Italian's tricolore, giving the car an electrifying presence. Moreover, the paint is transparent, allowing the car's exquisite carbon-fiber bodywork to shine through, a testament to Pagani's commitment to showcasing the materials and craftsmanship that go into every vehicle they produce.

But the Huayra Lampo is not just about aesthetics. Beneath its striking exterior lies advanced engineering, much of which is borrowed from the formidable Huayra BC. The car features additional carbon fiber body parts that enhance both its look and performance.

Notably, the front air intake openings have been widened, boosting the airflow to the engine by 5.35 percent, ensuring that the car's heart, a 6.0-liter V12 engine, can perform at its peak. This powerhouse engine delivers a staggering 750 bhp and 1,100 Nm of torque, making the Huayra Lampo as powerful as it is beautiful.

Creating a car like the Huayra Lampo is no small feat, and the collaboration with Garage Italia Customs played a crucial role in its development. Horacio Pagani, the visionary behind the brand, expressed his satisfaction with the project, highlighting the creative freedom and exploration that it allowed. This project was not just about building another supercar; it was an exercise in pushing the boundaries of design and engineering, in daring to explore new horizons and crafting something truly extraordinary.
In the realm of automotive excellence, the Pagani Huayra Lampo stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when artistry meets engineering. It is a car that tells a story, not just of its creation, but of the passion and creativity that drives the automotive world forward. *** [EKA [08092018] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TOPGEAR ]

ART WORK - The Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) never fails to captivate automotive enthusiasts, delivering an experience that seamlessly blends innovation, artistry, and technology. This annual event, celebrated for its impressive line-up of new car releases, custom modifications, and automotive accessories, is also an ideal showcase for unique creations that stand out in the global automotive scene. Among the most talked-about exhibits at IIMS 2018 was an unusual yet stunning replica of the Ferrari 330 P4—a model crafted not from metal but from teak wood, a creation by Indonesian woodcraft company PT Sumber Sejahtera Alamindo (SSA).

When thinking of Ferrari, most people picture an Italian luxury car with sleek design and cutting-edge performance. This wooden Ferrari replica, however, takes a fascinatingly different approach. Though it lacks the roaring engine and speed capabilities of the original, the craftsmanship involved makes it a breathtaking work of art. SSA’s founder, Santoz Martoz, explained that this masterpiece is currently intended solely as a display piece. "If you push it from behind, it will indeed move, but that's as close to driving as it gets," he remarked humorously, highlighting the whimsical aspect of this non-functioning, hand-crafted showpiece.
Constructing a life-sized replica of the iconic Ferrari 330 P4 was no small feat. The project took four months to complete, involving a dedicated team of six artisans working meticulously on every detail, from the car's body curves to its final polish. Santoz shared that patience and precision were crucial in achieving the car's striking resemblance to its inspiration, maintaining the proportions on a 1:1 scale with the original Ferrari model. Crafted entirely from premium teak wood, the replica’s quality reflects a dedication to authenticity and artistic integrity, appealing to collectors and automotive enthusiasts alike.

The price tag of this handcrafted wooden Ferrari speaks to its exclusivity. Valued at $50,000 (around Rp. 684 million), this piece of automotive art has drawn attention from collectors and art lovers across the globe, particularly from regions like Europe and North America. Santoz noted that, since founding SSA in 2016, he has seen a steady demand for wooden display cars. For many, owning this unique item is less about the car's functionality and more about the art and craftsmanship that it embodies.
Looking ahead, Santoz has ambitions to take these wooden creations to new heights. While the current models are non-functional, SSA has begun exploring the possibility of engineering their wooden cars to be more than static art pieces. To bring this vision to life, Santoz hopes to collaborate with Indonesian universities, seeking to merge traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. This endeavor could eventually bring Indonesia’s wooden car artistry to a new level, introducing a generation of wooden cars that are capable of more than simply turning heads.

Events like the IIMS highlight the diversity and innovation that define the modern automotive industry. The show provides a space for creative expressions that stretch beyond the conventional, inviting audiences to appreciate cars not only as vehicles but as canvases for artistry and culture. In a world where high-tech, eco-friendly automotive solutions dominate discussions, SSA’s wooden Ferrari replica serves as a reminder of the timeless beauty found in handmade craftsmanship and the unique allure of natural materials.

As Santoz and his team continue to refine their craft, the impact of their work extends far beyond Indonesia, contributing to global discussions about sustainable design, art in engineering, and the possibilities of blending old-world craftsmanship with contemporary aspirations. This wooden Ferrari replica is more than just a display—it’s an emblem of the imagination and skill that fuel the automotive world, capturing the hearts of car lovers and art enthusiasts across continents.*** [EKA [08092018] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PINTEREST ]

Colaboration between Adler Group and UP Design have taken the very beautiful Alfa Romeo 4c and somehow turned it into something significantly more beautiful called the Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001. If you prefer your jaw to keep it from bruising, now is a good time to put some soft pillows on the floor.

I can't say I know much about Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001, other than what is on the Mole Automobiles brand car website. The site shows specifications that match the Alfa Romeo 4C bone stock, and which says (translated from Italian) that the car is "One-off on a 4C base, reinterpreted to retain the Alfa style, but with Mole DNA."
Left side view of Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2CpLGxf)
Every corner of the Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001 - designed and built by Umberto Polermo Design in collaboration with Adler Group - avoids the elegant beauty of the usual 4C for a more aggressive, in-your-face look, with the back having "louvers" in windows, lights aggressive dark rear and quad exhaust, and the front fascia is completely reworked.
The wide and dark headlights, places far outside and inside the aero channel, make the car look threatening, as well as the wide and wide grille openings and high upright grille. Even the interior is custom, with very Italian brown skin mixed with black leather and what looks like an aluminum accent.

Specialised in the interior design, the new Alfa-Mole features matte metal applications juxtaposed against leather in orange and grey as well as carbon fibre trim on the doors, boasting the know-how and the precious materials of the companies of the Adler group and the best craftsmanship of Neapolitan leather goods, a true epitome of a luxurious ride that is stylish inside out.

To top off this bespoke supercar, the Alfa-Mole uses a turbocharged 1,8-liter four-cylinder engine with 237 hp (176 kW) and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) of torque. This is enough to send the Alfa Romeo 4C from 0 to 60mph in 4.1 seconds and onto a top speed of 160mph (257km/h).
The supercar market in the world is not as crowded as the ordinary car market. But car manufacturers are competing to attract consumers by displaying their excitement and luxury. Not to forget also about speed competition. But the supercar, named the Frangivento Asfané Charlotte Roadster, reportedly named after of Princess Charlotte of Monaco.

The car exterior looks very unique and even more unique there is an aquarium in the cabin. This is the uniqueness of the Italian supercar made by the Italian car manufacturer Frangivento which is not owned by any supercar and maybe this is the only one in the world. And these unique car has made its debut at the Top Marques Monaco 2017.
The interior doesn't need an aquarium to catch show goer attention, but the built-in fish tank sure doesn't hurt its chances. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2oExZkg)
When viewed, the Roadster has a design similar to Lamborghini Gallardo or Murchielago. But there is an additional gold color that makes it look more classy with a white body. This might be a differentiator with another its compatriot.
Frangivento had a little Hollywood inspiration in sourcing fish, naming them Nemo and Dory after the popular animated movies. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2oExZkg)
The car has a dimension of 4.6 meters long, 2.05 meters wide, 1.15 meters high. With a body made of aluminum. Uniquely, there is an aquarium complete with fish found in the cabin of the back of the car.

Car manufacturers not only provide the aquarium but complete with two fish, Nemo and Dory. Not only the aquarium, the concept of a cabin with nuances of the sea also blanketed from the walls and panels of the car and the alcantara seat which is given a touch of color to blend with the underwater world.

An Italian designer named Giorgio Pirolo who created this supercar cabin inspired by the Mediterranean which was then applied to this supercar cabin. So when driving, car owners can fantasize in the sea.
"The occupants of the two seats will feel as if they are diving into the sea thanks to two 'waves' covering Sarco's seat to the door panel," Pirolo said.
These Frangivento Asfané Charlotte Roadster is an electric supercar that can produce power reaching 885 horsepower. For the highest speed reaching 305 kilometers per hour, acceleration from 0-100 kph can be achieved in 2.6 seconds.
According to a media alert released by Top Marques, you'll have to wait about two years for the chance to buy the Asfané at around €1.5 million (approx. US.$1.6 million). *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FRANGIVENTO | LUXURYNEWSONLINE | NEWATLAS]
