It also sports the signature of the artist. This very limited edition of the 599 GTB Fiorano will be auctioned in Beijing during the charity gala sponsored by Ferrari. Proceeds from this auction will be used to fund the schooling of Chinese students interested in engineering.

The height of the ride is also made lower to adjust the center of gravity of the design. The tires of the vehicle also use compounds which improves the grip of the tires.
