Those who love supercars and especially those from Maranello don't need to be told who they are. Ken Okuyama, "father" of Ferrari Enzo with important past in Pininfarina.

And it will be; produced in very few specimens(strictly handmade and in Japan, in the Yamagata factory) also this Kode61, the price of which is not too expensive. top secret.
