| Touring Superleggera Veloce12 |
The renowned automotive design house of Milan, Touring Superleggera, is reviving history once again. The new coachbuilt version of the Ferrari 550 Maranello, the Veloce 12, is set to take automobile lovers on a trip down memory lane. The project not only represents the art of custom design but also shows us how a classic car can be given a new lease of life with modern technology and styling.
Ferrari 550 Maranello Revival
As Touring Superleggera brought the Ferrari 550 Maranello to its workshop, the car was given a completely new avatar. With changes to the bodywork, this new variant features more curvature and contemporary design elements. Touring's hand in giving a new direction to the old style, presents a unique and striking result.
Design innovation and technology converge
The new Veloce 12 uses carbon fibre bodywork, making it lighter and more stable. At the front, the lower front intakes have been changed from small apertures to larger channels that improve air flow. New, multi-element LED headlights and a wider grille, which is longer and wider than the old design, make this model even more striking.
At the rear, the new hood scoop has become Touring's signature. Unique design elements of bevels and shoulder lines in the fenders and doors give this car a new identity. Every detail has been designed with great attention to detail, bringing the original charm of the old 550 Maranello to the new era.
Build details
Touring Superleggera has taken the utmost care in this rebuild project. Every load-bearing component has been checked through finite element analysis to ensure the necessary buttressing is correctly added. Torsional rigidity has been set to the same goals as the modern Ferrari F12, ensuring the car has the best stability and performance.
This design project has not only brought back memories but also showcased how a classic car can be revived with modern technology and design. This latest effort from the Touring Superleggera is set to make a special place in the hearts of car lovers.
The arrival of this restored Ferrari 550 Maranello will not only encourage the love for old classic cars but will also show how the fusion of history and modernity can lead to spectacular results.

Powerful engine and advanced technology
The Touring has completely tested and rebuilt the 5.5-liter V12 engine, which now outputs 503 horsepower and 419 pound-feet of torque. Although it's only 25 horsepower more than the original 550, performance hasn't suffered, and 0 to 100 km/h remains the same 4.4 seconds. The car's sound experience has also been upgraded, with the addition of a new, more free-flowing Supersprint exhaust.
Advanced Suspension and Braking Systems
The Italians worked closely with the U.K.-based Tractive Suspension Company on this project, which features a set of active dampers controlled by multi-axis g-force sensors. For braking, the Touring adopted Brembo's custom system, which includes larger discs and powerful calipers.
Luxurious Interiors and Limited Edition
The car's interiors have been upgraded with "ergonomically sculpted seats" and "precisely machined controls." Luxurious leather materials and a dedicated design make it even more appealing. Touring will only build 30 Veloce12 units, which will be available in left- or right-hand drive. They will be priced at €690,000 ($761,120 U.S.), including the price of the donor car and taxes. Deliveries will begin mid-next year.
This reimagining of the Ferrari 550 Maranello with the new Veloce12 offers the perfect blend of old and new, a unique opportunity for automotive enthusiasts.
