Touring Superleggera has unveiled the Veloce12 Aperta, a targa-roof evolution of its Ferrari 550 Maranello-based grand tourer that keeps the analog appeal of a front-engine V12 and gated manual transmission intact. The new model follows the Veloce12 Coupé and Barchetta, giving the Milanese coachbuilder’s restomod program a more usable open-air format.

The Aperta’s defining feature is its pair of removable roof panels, which can be stored in a dedicated compartment when not in use. Touring also reshaped the rear section with an aluminum arch, revised glass, and an integrated leather-and-aluminum cargo area designed around bespoke luggage.

The bodywork is extensively reworked in carbon fiber, preserving the proportions of the 550 while giving the car a cleaner, more contemporary surface language.

Underneath, the formula remains deliberately old-school. The naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V12 is rated at 503 horsepower, a modest increase over the original 550, and sends power to the rear wheels through a six-speed gated manual transmission.

Touring quotes a 0-to-62 mph time of 4.4 seconds and a 180 mph top speed. The package also includes Brembo brakes, adaptive TracTive suspension, reinforced chassis work, and a freer-flowing Supersprint exhaust.

The Veloce12 Aperta is less about chasing modern supercar numbers than preserving a specific kind of driving experience: long-hood proportions, twelve-cylinder sound, manual shifting, and coachbuilt scarcity. Pricing is reported from €690,000 before the donor Ferrari 550 Maranello, putting it firmly in collector-commission territory.
