Besides being accused of faking his own kidnapping
among other things, Lapo Elkann is also known for his flashy way of
transforming cars, including this Tailor Made Ferrari 458 Italia, which used to
be his ride.
Purchased new some 7 years ago, the Italian supercar
received a camouflage paint scheme, green wheels, camouflage detailing of the
calipers, and the replacement of the Scuderia Shields on the front wings with a
couple of peace signs.
The engine bay adds more camouflage, as does the
interior, which features special two-tone inserts, darkbrown leather, and
contrasting rosso cavallinos stitched in the headrests.
The grandson of Gianni Agnelli and Fiat heir held on
to his Ferrari 458 Italia until 2016, when it was auctioned to raise money for
a foundation that researches HIV/AIDS. With Lapo himself in the attendance,
this 458 Italia was sold for € 1 million (US$ 1.19 million) during the Cannes Film
Festival, and the man that purchased it then is now looking to part ways with
it.
RM Sothebys have the exotic machine listed for their
'Ferrari - Leggenda E Passione' auction, on September 9, in Modena, Italy, and
estimates that it will sell for € 250,000-€ 350,000 (US$ 297,582-US$ 416,615).
