Leading Chinese artist, Lu Hao, had taken the Ferrari super car and decorated it with Song Dynasty Ge kiln pottery pattens. Lu Hao blended traditional design elements with Ferrari’s innovative styling to create a truly unique vehicle using a ‘cracked’ glaze pattern which is elegantly coloured, with clearly defined cracks etched at different depths. Only a few hundred pieces of Ge Kiln porcelain exist today, all of which are priceless treasures. The “cracked” glaze pattern has the lustre of jade and is often used to symbolize the qualities of a true gentleman.
Porcelain is one of China’s most distinctive ancient arts which was brought to the West via the Silk Road thousands of years ago. Using Ge Kin porcelain as the inspiration for the one-off version is a perfect complement to Ferrari’s China Limited Edition Model.
Inside the 599, the traditional Ferrari ‘Start’ button the steering wheel is jade encrusted, the unique luggage set is etched with depictions of the Silk Road and the numbers on the rev counter are written in ancient Chinese Xiao Zhuan script.
If you have a spare 500k and looking for a new stallion that wouldn’t even be enough as this one of a kind Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was sold for $2 million to a Chinese car buyer.
