Ferrari CZ26 Is a One-Off SF90 Built for One US Client

The Ferrari CZ26 is a one-off. Ferrari said on August 13 that the car debuted in Monterey as a Special Projects commission for a US client. Flavio Manzoni’s Ferrari Design Studio shaped it. The hardware stays SF90 Stradale: a plug-in hybrid V8, 1,000 cv in the donor spec sheet, and the same 2.5-second 0-100 km/h claim. Only one person will own this body.

What makes the CZ26 unique

Ferrari says the brief was a contemporary supersport berlinetta with a hard, technical look. Therefore, the CZ26 sits low on four muscle-like arches around a capsule-like cabin. The front is a full-width functional grille with ultra-slim hidden lights. Then the tail is truncated, with cantilevered lamps and a wide diffuser. Still, Ferrari points to 1970s Italian industrial design as the reference, not a past model name.

Also, the paint is exclusive Argento Veloce, a liquid silver. Rosso Lampante red picks out the technical bits. Pigmented carbon fibre and shot-peened gloss-black wheels finish the look. Inside, a black technical fabric meets 3D-printed seat inserts, an embroidered CZ26 logo, and body-color dashes on the doors and dash. Natural-finish titanium exhaust tips sit at the back.

The SF90 hardware and the two-year wait

The official spec card is still the SF90 Stradale hybrid. Specifically, the 3,990 cc twin-turbo V8 makes 797 cv. Three electric motors add up to 162 kW. Combined output on the donor car is 1,000 cv. Ferrari lists 328 km/h, 0-200 km/h in 6.7 seconds, a 7.9 kWh battery, and 25 km of electric range. The CZ26 is 4,762 mm long and 1,189 mm tall. Ferrari redesigned the cooling pack, added front air curtains, a large upper rear spoiler, and a new engine cover with extra vents.

However, you cannot order one. Special Projects cars start with a client idea. Then Ferrari Design locks proportions, builds a styling buck, and makes a unique body. The entire process takes around two years on average. Meanwhile, the client stays in the loop. As a result, the CZ26 is a one-of-one, not a new model line. TMM already covered Ferrari Luce with LoveFrom and Audi’s Nuvolari hybrid supercar. Instead of a price, Ferrari only says the car meets the same engineering standard as every Maranello car.
