Give a Ferrari GTC4Lusso a modern look with a body that evokes the 1980s.
Ares Design is pleased to announce the final design of its retro-tinted Project Pony. The sharp-edged styling is a striking revival of Ferrari grand tourers from the past. According to the coachbuilder, pricing will depend on what a buyer wants. However, it is now accepting orders from anyone interested in the conversion.
Project Pony draws its inspiration from the Ferrari V12-powered GTs, from the 1972 365 GT/4 4+2 to the 412 which was discontinued in 1989. These models all shared a crisp styling style and a three-box shape.
Project Pony keeps these proportions, but uses the GTC4Lusso underpinnings. This could be a great purchase for wealthy people who enjoy the idea of a Ferrari four-seater but dislike its shooting brake shape.
The most notable difference from the original grand tourers are the smoother lines at the A-pillar, where the roof drops down to the rear deck. Ares Design has also included a rear diffuser that allows the dual exhausts from both sides to emerge through cutouts in the back.
Ares Design presented r renderings for Project Pony earlier this year (gallery below). Since then, the design has not changed much. On the final design, the outlets on the front fender are smaller. The exhausts were also angled downwards for the version that the firm intends to make, and came out of the rear.
The GTC4Lusso is available in two versions by Ferrari. This top-of-the-line version is all-wheel-drive and produces 680 horsepower (507 Kilowatts) as well as 515 pound feet (697 Newton-meters), from a naturally-aspirated V12. The GTC4Lusso is another option. It has a 3.9-liter twin turbo V8 that produces 448 kW and 561 lbft (760Nm), all of which goes to the rear.
