Introducing the latest One-Off: Ferrari KC23

he Ferrari that you’re looking at isn’t a concept. Nor is it a production car. It is a completely one-off commission. A track-focused yet elegant state-of-the-art supercar born from the penmanship of Ferrari’s Centro Stile, led by Flavio Manzoni, and one very imaginative, passionate and exacting customer. 

Christened KC23, this latest creation from the Special Projects programme is as innovative as it is striking, and has been commissioned by one of the prancing horse’s most dedicated collectors. Its futuristic bespoke body is underpinned by proven race car architecture, and with two different configurations the visual character changes from angel to devil car. 

Under the skin is the heart and soul of the 488 GT3 Evo 2020. The 488 GT3 is the most successful track car in Maranello’s 76-year history, racking up over 530 victories and 119 championship wins, which isn’t a bad platform from which to construct the ultimate private Ferrari. Given the extreme nature of its V8 twin-turbo engine, chassis and suspension set-up, the KC23 has been designed exclusively for non-competitive track use as opposed to the road. 

ometimes Ferrari’s unique SP cars are never shown in public. In this case, the owner is keen to share his collaboration with the world. The KC23, the very pinnacle of Ferrari personalisation, will make its first public appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK 13-16 July, before going on display at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello from 1 August to 2 October, much to the delight of the Ferraristi. 

It’s likely to inspire many Ferrari owners and lovers as to how the Ferrari of their dreams might look. For one visionary customer, that dream became a reality.
