A secondhand supercar heading up for auction isn’t exactly major breaking news, even when it’s a V12-engined Ferrari. But this particular four-seat Ferrari FF is a little bit more special than most, because it was originally ordered by none other than John Elkann.
Now, Elkann is currently executive chairman of Ferrari and chairman of Stellantis (among many other businessman-spec roles), but at the time of the FF’s reveal in 2011, the grandson of Gianni Agnelli was the big boss of Ferrari’s then parent company, Fiat SpA.
Hardly surprising to learn that Elkann didn’t need to stick to the options on the configurator, then, but even so, his FF is pretty special. The wonderful shooting-brake-style exterior is finished in Nuovo Blu, for a start, but that’s then complemented by an outstanding blue interior complete with actual cloth seats.

The seats are finished with white contrast piping and prancing horses stitched into the headrests, and up above, there’s a giant panoramic roof. Because Elkann clearly needed a view of blue skies to match the interior color. Heck, there’s even tinted blue carbon trim in there.
Anyway, this particular car is heading across the block at RM Sotheby’s Paris Auction later this month, with an estimate of between £190,000 (around P15.2 million) and £280,000 (roughly P22.3 million). Do you think that’s good value for a unique grand tourer with just under 16,093km on its 6.2-liter V12?
