If you want to buy a luxury automobile, you can basically do this in two ways. Either you go for an exotic supercar, or you buy a big Bentley or Rolls, filled with leather from a hundred cows hides. But why can’t you have both?
This car needs no introduction, as it’s already famous in the luxury car business. It’s the Ferrari F430 that’s been wrapped in real leather by the French company Dartz. It made headlines recently when American rapper The Game bought it for $200,000 (€180,000).
But before it was shipped out for the promise land, Italian supercar spotter Marchettino got a chance to film it from up close. It’s amazing to see all those natural textures applied over the top of an artificial shape.
It’s very interesting, striking, slightly impractical and from some angles a bit ugly. We really don’t see this becoming a trend. The leather is almost certainly glue to the body, which means the paint is ruined.
