    Well its been quite the wait for our TM Lusso to finally become a reality, but its now at the dealer. We started the process about 2.5 years ago and made many revisions to the spec before we confirmed everything. We wanted to do something special so we decided to create a modern interpretation of our 1951 Ghia bodied coupe.

    It all started by matching the color exactly to the 212. We decided that we didn't want to add any carbon on the car and wanted to go for a more classic look so we chose all aluminum, teak wood, and plastic parts (for the exterior of the car) which we had painted in matte Blu Pozzi. You will also notice the dream lines in Argento around the car to represent all the chrome on the 212. The leather is Pella Count Prestige and its beautiful as you are able to see the grain. (FYI the leather is not really as orange as it looks in the photos)

    Once the care is delivered I will post more photos beside the 212 for comparison. I also wanted to say thank you to many of you on this forum who have provided lots of feedback and resources with regard to how our final spec turned out.

    A wonderful but as you say time consuming result and that shade of blue on your GTC4 Lusso has a real 'classic' feel to it! The tailor made fender trim emblem is something new to. Thank you for sharing your unique Ferrari build here.

    Both cars are absolute masterpieces. What an incredible shade of blue. Brilliant idea to use dreamlines to echo the 212’s chrome trim. I love the Count Prestige leather, too.

    Btw, your Dad gives you major credit for the design. Very well done, Chase. I can’t wait to see these beauties at your charity event later this year.

    It’s incredible to realize that these cars are separated by 68 years of amazing Ferrari history.

    So beautifully spec'd! I like how you matched the lower steering wheel leather with the lower portion of the dash. And carbon interior trim would have detracted from the theme in my opinion. It's very elegant. Thanks for posting these beauties.

    Beautiful.

    There is a very nice spirit of the italian "Dolce vita" in it... the color of the beautiful italian sky, and the interior has a very nice "Riva yachting" atmosphere

    You need to bring it to italia in the nothern lakes region once in its life

    I know you've put a lot of heart into speccing it so enjoy it to the max and big congrats Chase !

    great job getting speakers grills in a matching color.
    Silver grills next to cuoio is a detail that always hurt my eye in mine...

    Very nice, I like the continuity of a TM car with a cherished classic.
    It suggests that these cars are in long term ownership not something to be instantly traded when the new thing comes out.

    What a gorgeous car! As Anir said, the dreamlines perfectly enhance the car's looks. They are subtle yet accentuate the right details - not too much but just right. Congrats!

    The latest pictures really show the level of detail achieved here! Amazing. I am always happy to see these sort of TM projects where a lot of thought has been put into the details versus some which are very outlandish, I guess its personal taste on my part.

    What? You're not going to trade it in after 600 miles?

    Congrats and I wish you good luck with it!

    No the "plate" itself is just color matched, but the surrounding part is in leather.
