Retro liveries on arch-modern supercars are nothing new just last week we were ogling the Ford GT Heritage Edition and its iconic orange/blue Gulf Racing bodywork. But applying historical paint jobs to the very latest supercars is a tricky art to get right. Is this one-off Ferrari as successful? What we have here is a 789bhp Ferrari 812 Superfast, covered in a blue/white hue, inspired by a Ferrari 250 SWB Berlinetta Competizione. This particular classic, resplendent in its dark blue and white stripes"n"roundels, was raced to victory by none other than Sir Stirling Moss at the Goodwood, Nassau, Brands Hatch and Silverstone circuits in the early 1960s. A UK customer has commissioned Ferrari to apply a matte version of the Blu Scozia Opaco to their new 217mph super GT, and you can see the results from the car"s collection here.
