Touring Superleggera has revealed an updated version of its ode to the V12-engined Ferrari 550 Maranello, and the headline news is simple: it’s a big, beautiful, bespoke and really quite blue V12 GT car.

So if you’re in the market for a big, beautiful, bespoke and really quite blue V12 GT car, best get in quick – Touring tells us there are only five cars remaining from the run of 30 it’s planning to build.

Quite the build, too. Revealed last summer, the Veloce12 is Touring’s ode to analogue. Boss Markus Tellenbach told TopGear.com the idea to bespokeify a 550 was to create a “tuxedo on wheels”. He wanted a naturally aspirated V12, a manual gearbox and Italian roots.

“The 550 has all these desirable genes and we updated the car to behave like a contemporary sportscar,” he said.

Desirable, yes. Pininfarina’s original 550 design paid subtle homage to the 250 GTO and 275 GTB, as well as the 365 GTB/4 Daytona. Touring has applied its own history to the big Nineties super GT via this new hue, used on superb things like the Alfa 8C 2900 B Lungo, Disco Volante Spyder, and Berlinetta Lusso.

Of course, it sounds much better in Italian: we call it sky blue, Touring Superleggera calls it ‘Azzurro Cielo’.

And it’ll likely sound better in this iteration, because Touring’s tweaked Ferrari's 5.5-litre V12. The engine’s been “fully refurbished”, said Tellenbach, and treated to a “comprehensive refreshment” that sees better cooling and a new exhaust via Supersprint. That latter mod is said to ‘liberate’ the V12; indeed, Touring’s liberated 500bhp from this Ferrari engine, up from 485bhp.

There’s adaptive TracTive suspension allied to a reinforced chassis, bigger Brembo brakes, a 0-62mph time of 4.4s and a top speed of 199mph.

Consider that each customer gets to interact directly with designer Matteo Gentile and his team to craft something unique, and you’ll understand why each car will take between four to five months to build. They’re available in LHD or RHD.

Tellenbach said around half of the current allocation is heading to the US, with the remaining cars split between Europe, South America and Asia. The remaining five versions of this big, beautiful, bespoke and potentially quite blue (if you spec it Azzurro Cielo) will cost €690,000 a piece, plus the donor car of course.
