The Ferrari SP48 Unica is a one-off two-seater sports berlinetta (sports coup\u00e9) designed for a client brief. It doesn\u2019t get any more limited or exclusive than the Ferrari Special Projects One-Off series, which is, simply put, a series of cars crafted to an individual client specification. This one-off V8 berlinetta oozes class, encased in an iridescent red-orange metallic paint; it\u2019s not quite burnt orange and not quite bronze sitting somewhere perfectly in between.Powered by the Ferrari 3.9-litre F8 Tributo turbocharged engine, the SP48 Unica has an exclusive bespoke body. Ferrari hasn\u2019t revealed the SP48 Unica\u2019s full specs, but the engine, unless tweaked, will be putting out 770Nm torque and a whopping 710bhp, controlled by a 7-speed twin-clutch gearbox. It will take this lucky owner just 2.9 seconds or thereabouts to hit 62mph from zero if the Tributo is anything to go by, and achieving 124mph in just 7.8 seconds with a top speed of 211mph.The SP48 Unica has been designed under the guidance of Flavio Manzoni, the Chief Design Officer at the Ferrari Styling Centre, and is based on the F8 Tributo platform. Brake air intakes have been moved and the headlights and front grille have been restyled, it all goes towards giving the SP48 Unica an aggressive low-profile look from the front.According to Ferrari the 3D design aspect of this car is an \u2018extensive use of procedural-parametric modelling techniques and 3D prototyping\u2019 whatever that means, but the result is to create a very striking cubic graphic grille design that seems to blend with the car itself. The car\u2019s graphics echo this and the effect is of a pixelated blend from black to the orange body. The SP48 Unica features a Ferrari thermal-fluid-dynamic design, which guarantees all cooling requirements for such a powerful car are met in the redesigned aerodynamic body. Especially notable are those air intakes, which now sit in the front bumper and below the rear spoiler. Wheels compliment the sharp graphics too, with an excellent unique angular design, bespoke of course.Inside, the exterior graphic approach of the supercar is continued, with laser perforated Alcantara seats and cabin trim. There are splashes of red-orange amongst the black too and a smattering of matte carbon fibre, further connecting the inside to the outside.Clearly, Ferrari\u2019s Special Projects One-Off series of vehicles are beautifully designed and put together high-end vehicles. They are as tasteful as you can get for such a supercar, but of course, that will always come down to who the car is created for. In any case, the Ferrari SP48 Unica is another fine car worthy of paying some attention to.If you enjoyed this, you may also like: Are the 2020s The Decade of 300mph Cars?"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Ferrari SP48 Unica One-Off Supercar","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/the-ferrari-sp48-unica-one-off-supercar\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
