HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND DETAILS OF THE REAL MODEL:
The 1987 Ferrari PPG Pace Car is one of the most fascinating concepts/prototypes in modern Ferrari history.
Ordered in a single copy (One-Off) by the industrial coating giant PPG, this car was designed to serve as official safety car (Pace Car) in the American IndyCar World Series.
Designed by the renowned Italian design studio I.DE.A Institute (led by Pierangelo Andreani, original designer of the Mondial), its futuristic carbon fiber and epoxy body rested on a Ferrari Mondial chassis.
Under the hood, Maranello engineers installed in longitudinal position the new 3,405 cm³ 32-valve V8 (nearly 300 hp), foreshadowing two years ahead the powertrain of the future Ferrari Mondial T of 1989. The construction cost of this unique prototype exceeded one million dollars at the time!
