Hao has used Ge Liln porcelain of the Song Dynasty as his inspiration, and added it to this Ferrari's design. Only a few hundred pieces of Ge Kiln porcelain exist today, all of which are priceless treasures.
Other special features include a Jade start button and a gold-coloured rev counter with ancient Chinese script Xiao Zhuan. The later is also seen in the Ferrari 599 HGTE China Limted Edition, which has also been launched.
