# This Is Ferrari’s New F12-Based Custom Supercar, the SP275 RW Competizione

Unlike Ferrari’s regular supercars, which tend to be designed to please the eyes of the masses, the carmaker’s one-off Special Projects can often be, shall we say...not traditionally attractive. Beauty is, after all, in the eye of the beholder, and when said beholder is holding a check for several million dollars...well, Ferrari is more than happy to build a custom car that conforms to whatever that wealthy dude or dudette’s particular version of beauty.

The latest example: This golden nugget of a [Special Projects Ferrari, an F12-based car reportedly known as the SP275 RW Competizione](<https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/ff-gtc4lusso-f12/539223-new-bespoke-project-sp275-rw-competizione-based-f12.html#post145075521>).

The car appears to have broken cover for the very first time earlier today, at the Ferrari [Finali Mondiali ](<https://www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com/Events/2016/Finali-Mondiali/Finali-Mondiali.aspx>)in Daytona, Florida; [a Facebook fan account known as Ferrari F12 TdF posted the pictures online](<https://www.facebook.com/FerrariF12TourDeFrance/photos/pcb.645331038961674/645330905628354/?type=3&theater>), along with the car’s name. It’s unclear whether the car is based on the regular ol’ F12berlinetta or the limited-run F12tdf, but the girthy hips and prevalence of strakes across its sides leads us at *The Drive* to suspect the car is based on the latter, more badass model.

It’s also unclear which of Ferrari’s loyal (and very well-off) clients commissioned this honey-hued. However, in the images, the SP275 RW Competizione sits next to the similarly-colored P540 Superfast Aperta, a Maranello-made one-off from 2011 that’s based on the 599 GTB. According to *Car and Driver*, [the P540 was made for Edward Walson](<https://blog.caranddriver.com/ferrari-p540-superfast-aperta-a-one-off-based-on-a-one-off/>), an entertainment industry producer who happens to be the son of the man who invented cable TV; considering Walson’s apparent love for custom V12 Ferraris and the color gold, we wouldn’t be shocked to learn he’s the owner of the SP275 RW Competizione...as well as the F12-based Special Projects roadster seen on the edge of some of these shots, which we’re also very interested to learn more about.
