Ferrari has been grabbing varied headlines simply currently. Its decade-long Testarossa courtroom docket case lastly drew to an in depth, adopted by a curious new Testrossa trademark submitting that’s left quite a lot of us at DrivingOnRoad better than just a bit perplexed. Then there’s the establish of its first-ever electrical automotive being tentatively thrown spherical, and now, the Prancing Horse has intrigued us however extra with a model new trademark for the establish Vellutum.
Whereas not formally confirmed, the model new establish was filed earlier this week – Wednesday July 29 to be exact – with the Ministero delle Imprese del Made In Italy. If confirmed, this will seemingly seal the Vellutum in Fiorano’s vault until not lower than 2037. And, aside from the reality that Vellutum interprets as velvet in Italian, that’s truly all we’ve acquired. DrivingOnRoad has contacted Ferrari for additional knowledge.
May This Be A New Model?
Naturally, the model new trademark has left many individuals questioning whether or not or not Vellutum may probably be a model new model establish. Definitely, not lower than six new Ferraris have been anticipated to debut in 2025, and whereas the additional established likes of a higher-performance 296 GTB and the SF90 Stradale successor have adopted the Versione Speciale and F173M names respectively, the nomenclature for Ferrari’s upcoming substitute for the Roma grand tourer is unknown.
Equally, whereas Maranello’s first-ever electrical automotive has tentatively been known as Elettrica, only some particulars regarding the second model have been provided, save that its launch date has now been pushed once more owing to restricted curiosity from prospects. That’s little doubt a stumbling block for what Ferrari had hoped could possibly be a high-volume model. A useful information a tough establish acquired’t resolve EV apathy amongst its potential prospects, not just like the Purosangue establish for Ferrari’s first SUV. Nonetheless Vellutum doesn’t lower than spark some intrigue.
Considerably than a model new model, Vellutum may probably be adopted by a modificata occasion of an present model. Ferrari followers may take note the Vetroresina establish adopted by a limited-edition, fiberglass-bodied 308 GTB launched on the Paris Auto Current in 1975.
Maybe It’s A New Upholstery Selection?
Considerably than a full model, nonetheless, this establish could as an alternative be safeguarded for upgraded know-how and/or upholstery decisions in the meanwhile in progress, in so much the equivalent method that the rocker swap for the driving mode on the steering wheel has been formally known as Manettino (truly translating to little lever in Italian). As beforehand talked about, Vellutum does translate to velvet. And whereas it borders on lunacy to suggest that Ferrari – of all producers – will reintroduce velour to car interiors, a model new mixture of full-grain leather-based upholstery could undertake the establish.
Ferrari’s penchant for exotically-named paint schemes is one different likelihood, due to this fact the likes of Nero DS Opaco matte black and the triple-layer Giallo Triplo Strato yellow. Nonetheless wanting a model new model, one factor relating to an inside tweak makes additional sense to us.
Alternatively, everyone knows Ferrari has dipped a toe in residence office furnishings beforehand. Lest we neglect the official collaboration with Poltrona Frau, and definitely all of us take note the Cockpit office chair. It’s utterly attainable a model new Vellutum range may probably be launched as part of a model new joint-venture. Look, Ferrari nonetheless sells a carbon fiber chess board for better than $5,000. Stranger points have occurred.
