A bespoke restomod inspired by a supercar straight out of Maranello. Off-road at heart, finished with the elegance of a Concorso d’Eleganza car. Panda 4x4 “EightyOne” is anything but your grandfather’s Panda.
It’s a story of passion, personal vision and tailored design.
Born in 1987 to conquer unpaved roads, today it’s been completely reimagined: the same off-road soul, with the attitude of a “baby” Ferrari.
It’s the third piece in a personal collection that started with a Ferrari 812 GTS Tailor Made, followed by a Vespa 50 Special, and soon to include a Ferrari 296 Challenge. All of them united by a unique color signature: Blue OZ, an official Ferrari color developed by the client in collaboration with Maranello, based on Blu Sera.“It all started with the Ferrari,” says the owner.
“Then came the Vespa, then the Panda. And in a week or two, the 296 Challenge will arrive with the same livery.”
The chassis was treated with protective undercoating and fully repainted in Blue OZ, including every external detail: bumpers, mirrors, trims.
Completing the livery is a Ferrari Grigio Ferro Metallic stripe running from front bumper to rear hatch.“I fell in love with the Panda because its design is so pure. It’s a car that will never go out of style. Like the Defender or the G-Wagen—it’s simply timeless.”
Every surface is upholstered in Pelle Frau® Heritage Mahagoni, while the headliner and steering wheel are trimmed in Ultra Black Alcantara. The cabin has the elegance of a GT, while staying compact, honest, and unmistakably Panda.Custom details include:
Between tailor-made touches and coordinated liveries, maybe true luxury is having someone to share it with.“Driving and racing are my passion. It’s how I spend most of my free time. And now it’s something I share with my daughter, who’s 10, races karts, and cheers for Ferrari, especially Charles Leclerc.”
Whether you’re looking for a tailor-made gasoline build like this one, or an electric restomod with our Panda 4x4e, every project starts from a single vision: yours.
A made-to-measure approach designed to transform a pop icon into something personal, unique, and truly yours, because every Panda holds a thousand stories and one of them can be yours.Configure your custom Panda now: click here
