Ferrari has added a new item to its Collectibles line: Sketch Body panels that showcase original designer sketches on actual car body parts, turning a component of a road car into a framed artwork.
Ferrari launches Sketch Body art panels
The company will mount a front hood or dorsal panel from a current model in a display frame, then apply the hand-drawn lines created by chief designer Flavio Manzoni. The result is a wall-ready piece that reveals how a sketch evolves into sheet metal.
According to the announcement, buyers can request a panel that matches the paint of a specific car they own, allowing owners to display a visual echo of their vehicle without moving the car itself.
Manzoni’s sketches were originally featured on the one-off 812 Competizione Tailor Made art car, which bore pen marks across its surface to illustrate the design development from concept to finished shape.
This approach highlights the tangible link between artistic vision and engineering execution, offering design students and enthusiasts a rare glimpse of the creative process that typically remains hidden behind production tooling.

Potential purchasers may appreciate the novelty of a decorative piece that also serves as a conversation starter about automotive heritage, especially given Ferrari’s reputation for blending performance with aesthetic flair.
Collectibles line expands beyond racing parts
The Collectibles series has previously sold components harvested from its Formula 1 program, including engine sections and brake discs that once saw track action.
Examples cited include a brake disc used by Charles Leclerc and a timing shaft from a V-10 engine that Rubens Barrichello handled during his career, both offered at prices reflecting their rarity.
The new Sketch Body items can be produced from any current Ferrari model, suggesting a broader appeal that reaches owners who may not have a racing-related souvenir but still desire a piece of the brand’s design legacy.
While the company has not disclosed a price, it indicated that the panels will be positioned as artwork, implying a cost comparable to high-end decorative pieces rather than functional automotive parts.
