The car was first introduced in 2014 to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Ferrari in America, and it is, in fact, an open-top version of the insane F12 Berlinetta, with some adjustments here and there.

The F60’s bodywork is inspired by the 1967 275 GTS- 4 NART and it comes with a fresh aluminum body, unique front and rear bumpers, deeper side strakes, redesigned hood, more pronounced winglets and a rigorously aero-designed back end.

It also features a lightweight fabric roof that can be raised or lowered at speeds up to 75 mph (120 km/h), two leather-wrapped roll bars with carbon fiber-trimmed flying buttresses, five-spoke alloy wheels and special 6th Anniversary Prancing Horse badge on the wheel arches and the center tunnel in the cabin.

The exterior is finished in Blu Nart with a center white stripe, inspired by the famous livery of Luigi Chinetti’s NART outfit.

As you sit in the car, you feel like a leather American flag is embracing you. The dual-tone interior is designed asymmetrically, with the driver’s side finished with red trim and upholstery, while the passenger’s accommodations are black. Stripes on the seats reminiscent of Stars and Stripes complete the theme.

Under the hood lies the hardcore 6.3-liter V12 engine from the F12, which produces 730 horsepower and 509 lb-ft (690 Nm) of torque, linked to a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox. The F60 sprints from a standstill to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.1 seconds and has a top speed of over 200 mph (322 km/h).

Proportional with its rarity is also the price. Each owner had to pay $2.5 million for the opportunity to have this incredible machine in their collection. Americans are known for their patriotism, and as the car is an homage to their country, we suppose customers paid the requested sum without too much thinking.
