A unique Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was sold the 3 November 2009 for $2 million to a Chinese car buyer.
Leading Chinese artist, Lu Hao, had taken the Ferrari super car and decorated it with Song Dynasty Ge kiln pottery patterns. 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.
The texture cracked porcellain will be created thanks to the cubication process which allows even more precision than classic decals.
With the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, the house of the Prancing Horse paid homage to the historic testing circuit located near the factory, creating the most high-performance 12-cylinder production "berlinetta" ever developed in Maranello until at least 2006.
