Giugiaro's One-Off Ferrari GG50 Spotted in Monaco
It's simply amazing what you can discover around the streets of Monaco. But then again, where else would you imagine that a one-of-a-kind model such as the Ferrari GG50 would be parked on the road like any other plebian vehicle other than Monaco? For those with a week memory, the Ferrari GG50 that was spotted by the folks over at Autogespot was created by Italdesign's Giorgetto Giugiaro as a present for himself in celebration of his fifty years in the automobile design industry. From what we know, the vehicles still belongs to the Giugiaro family.
The GG50, which is based on the platform and mechanicals of the 612 Scaglietti, made its world premiere at the 2005 Tokyo Auto Show. While retaining the Scaglietti's wheelbase at 2,950mm, the Ferrari GG50 spans 4,810mm in length, meaning its 90mm or about four inches shorter than the model it is based upon. It can accommodate four passengers in a 2+2 seating layout in which case it offers a loading capacity of 270 liters. With the rear seatbacks folded down, it's loading capacity increases to 500 liters.
Power comes from the same V12 engine as the Scaglietti that produces an output of 540HP at 7,200 rpm from a displacement of 5,748cc (5.7-liters) and is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
As for the design? Let's just say that we've seen better from Giugaro in his 50-year long career as a designer.
