Happy 45th!

2012 Ferrari Superamerica 45

There are some manufacturers and dealers out there that adore their valuable customers. For example, my dad, a big Mercedes man, has become a valuable customer of Ray Catena Mercedes in Edison since he's been with them for almost 10 years. The people there are always looking to give him a good price on a new Merc. Ferrari is just like that, only much, much greater. Their most valuable customer, Peter Kalikow, has been with them for 45 years, and they decided to honor him with an exclusive one-off. Say hello to the Ferrari Superamerica 45. Now, you might've heard of the name Superamerica before because, a couple years back, Ferrari did make a Superamerica in the body of a 575. Now, the Superamerica takes its place in the body of the current 599. Everything on this car is bespoke, including the iconic fold-down targa top. The body has been painted in Blu Antille in order to match the first Superamerica out there, the 1961 400 Superamerica that Kalikow still has in his garage. The wheels are body painted with a diamond finish, the grille has been given a chrome finish, and the front splitter, sideskirts, and rear diffuser have all been given a sweet dark blue painting. All-in-all, this looks like a wonderful "Thanks for Being With Us" present for the honorable Mr. Kalikow. I hope he enjoys it.
