The one-owner car has covered barely 1,587 kilometers and was extensively personalized through Ferrari's bespoke program, finished in a special-order Canna Di Fucile with a Giallo Fly racing stripe.

Delivered new to the United States and showing 24,121 kilometers, the modern-era Porsche halo car was later repainted by its second owner in a matte grey inspired by the Lamborghini Reventón, a departure from the factory GT Silver Metallic it wore from new.
