What do you do if you were to be Lapo Elkann, the grandson of late industrialist and Fiat Chairman Gianni Agnelli and an heir to the Fiat SpA automobile company? You get a custom built denim themed Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, of course!!! Blasphemy! Did you just say? But this is just what happens if you were to own the company that made the car.
Lapo Elkann, an heir to the huge business empire and a notorious playboy has also splurged millions of dollars on cars. His passion for cars many a times ran overboard. But when he commissioned the denim themed Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, he was just going a step further to show his eccentricities. (But we are loving it!!!)
The denim themed Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is painted in baby blue, the roof, mirrors and pentagram wheels in a contrast indigo blue colour. The car has been decked up with denim upholstery instead of the customary leather seats offered by Ferrari itself. (What the ….? Yeah, we do understand your emotions)
Now don’t flinch at the billionaire playboy’s taste. A look at this denim blue Ferrari is actually very startling for Ferrari fans who have liked their Ferraris best clad in flaming red and black. To add to the sacrilege done already, Mr. Elkann now uses it everywhere he goes, which make it unbearable to prancing Horse enthusiasts.
But guys remember Mr. Elkann could one day be running Fiat Company and along with it the Ferrari, as Fiat holds a major stake in the sports car company. He could also be running the Chrysler in America and to a lesser extend the Fiat Automobiles in India too. (Thinking of the shapes of things to come already?)

It is wonderful to know that Ferrari clads itself in Denim. It is a very creative idea. I feel all cars seats should come in fabric than flaunting animal's skin. Fiat is likely to adopt this soon. I hope all the acclaimed carmakers like Porsche, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Bentley, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo follow Ferrari's concept.
