Just 12 China Limited Editions will be made
Ferrari has unveiled a special version of its new 599 HGTE, one that's been specifically designed for the Chinese market.
It's called the Ferrari 599 China Limited Edition and features bespoke design touches courtesy of Chinese artist Lu Hao.
Hao's Sino-centric flourishes include ancient 'Xiao Zhuan' characters instead of Arabic numerals on the rev counter, luggage featuring a map of the Silk Road trade route, and a starter button that glows jade green.
"A bit of T-cut'll get that out"
Ferrari is making just a dozen examples so, while there might be nine million bicycles in Beijing (at least so says Katie Melua), the 599 China Limited edition will be a somewhat rarer sight.
One of the dozen, hand-finished by Lu Hao himself in a cracked-glaze porcelain paint effect, will be auctioned for charity in Beijing on 3 November.
