A Ferrari with Gold-Dipped Bodywork, New Touring Arese RH95 Vento D'Oro

  • last month
The supercar retains the bespoke carbon fiber bodywork of the original Arese RH95, which makes its debut in 2021. While Touring Superleggera hasn't publicly revealed the identity of the "well-known exotic mid-engined donor car" for the Arese RH95 series, the specs and interior strongly suggest it could be based on the Ferrari 488 or perhaps a hybrid component.

What sets Vento D'oro apart from others is its vibrant look inspired by desert tones. The White Morning Frost exterior tint is complemented by plenty of vibrant Gold Leaf accents. Genuine gold was hand-applied to various body panels, covering the entire rear panel. Additionally, the special 20-inch wheels feature a dual-tone finish that matches the gloss black splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser.

The interior continues the theme with gold accents on white leather and Alcantara upholstery. While its close ties to Ferrari are obvious, the Touring Superleggera made its mark with special interior panels such as the redesigned air conditioning vents and the elegant divider in the center console.

The final touch is the golf license plate under the hood, surrounded by the signatures of the craftsmen who worked on the car. Numbering indicates that this Arese RH96 is the fifth of 18 examples planned for production. Naturally, the Touring Superleggera offers customization options that allow owners to tailor their cars to their preferred exterior, interior and performance modifications.

According to Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, its craftsmen devote 5,000 hours to each car, underlining the attention to detail in these custom coachbuilding projects. Additionally, interior specialist Dtales Milano collaborated on the application of gold leaf accents on this particular build, ensuring a flawless finish.

The Arese RH95 is 4,782 mm (188.3 inches) long, 1,982 mm (78 inches) wide and 1,259 mm (49.6 inches) tall; which makes it slightly larger than the donor car. The mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 engine produces 661 hp (493 kW / 670 PS) and 760 Nm (561 lb-ft) of torque, proving that it comes from the 488 GTB. Note that previous versions of the RH95 used a more powerful V8 with 710 hp (530 kW / 720 PS) from the 488 Pista and F8 Tributo.

Power is transferred to the rear axle via a seven-speed DCT automatic transmission. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) is completed in 3 seconds, while its top speed is listed as 330 km/h (205 mph), in line with the performance specifications of the Ferrari 488 GTB.

The Touring Arese RH95 Vento D'Oro joins the special edition range, following the Grigio Artico specification introduced last year. Although the company did not disclose the cost of this gold-themed model, the starting price of the Arese RH95 was 1.58 million Euros ($1.72 million) including the cost of the donor car.
