Ferrari offers its customers a paint-free option that costs the same as a paint job

At Ferrari, the possibilities for customization are virtually limitless. Historic colors, shades developed specifically for a customer, unique upholstery, or unusual materials: the program Tailor Made already takes you a long way. But the latest possibility spotted on a Ferrari 12Cilindri takes the concept in a direction that is surprising, to say the least: paying tens of thousands of euros… just to not have any paint.

The information was reported by Intern Pierre, an expert in the luxury sector. According to him, Ferrari now offers a finish in its Tailor Made program that reveals the raw aluminum of the body, without paint or even clear coat. The reported price is approximately €35,000.

35,000 € to expose the aluminum

In the photos of this 12Cilindri Tailor Made, the result is indeed quite unique. The body retains the natural look of aluminum and even reveals very fine marks in the metal. So this isn’t a silver paint job designed to mimic aluminum—the material itself serves as the car’s exterior finish.

A very special Ferrari paint job can easily cost tens of thousands of euros. In this case, the customer would spend a comparable amount to ask Ferrari… not to paint his car at all. On paper, Ferrari thus saves on paint, clear coat, and part of the traditional paint shop process. Of course, this doesn’t mean the body leaves the production line without any intervention: achieving a uniform finish of sufficient quality for a Ferrari Tailor Made necessarily requires significant finishing work and quality control. Still, €35,000 for exposed aluminum illustrates just how far customization can go at Maranello.

The 12Cilindri is clearly not the only one

Incidentally, this finish doesn't seem to be exclusive to the Ferrari 12Cilindri. We also found a Purosangue produced by the department Tailor Made with a similar aluminum finish. On this model, the contrasting elements and carbon fiber parts further highlight the body’s very distinctive metallic appearance.

It would therefore be more of an option offered to customers of the Tailor Made program than one developed exclusively for the 12Cilindri. As is often the case with Ferrari’s most exclusive configurations, however, the exact possibilities and prices may depend on the project developed with the customer.

A 12Cilindri that already costs nearly €400,000 before options

The amount takes on a whole new perspective when compared to the car’s price. The Ferrari 12Cilindri starts at around €395,000 before options. Unveiled in 2024 and in production since 2025, it takes over the role of the 812 Superfast as a front-engine grand tourer, featuring a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine producing 830 ch. And Ferrari has just expanded this family even further with theFerrari 12Cilindri Manual, unveiled in July 2026. This model puts three pedals and an H-pattern shifter at the heart of the driving experience, thanks to the «Manuale By-Wire» system. With a transmission that recreates the feel of a manual gearbox and a body where luxury now lies in exposing the aluminum, Ferrari seems to have found a new formula: transforming what might appear to be a lack of features into a symbol of exclusivity.

Ferrari Tailor Made now offers a raw aluminum finish on the 12Cilindri. No paint, no clear coat, no time spent in the paint shop.
