You might or might not have heard of the Capricorn 01. After we first wrote about it final 12 months, we stated they don’t make supercars like this anymore—and it’s true. With a supercharged V8 and a handbook transmission sending energy straight to the rear wheels, it’s a far cry from the hybridized, dual-clutch, all-wheel-drive supercars which are all too widespread.
Now, Capricorn is exhibiting off on the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este with a beautiful one-of-one, uh, 01, that appears completely mega if you happen to’re into the monotone look. It’s dubbed the ‘Tutto Rosso’ particular—which in Italian interprets loosely to “all pink.” You’ll be able to most likely guess why.

A whopping 95 p.c of this supercar is roofed in pink. That’s proper, 95 p.c. The outside is draped within the hue, at the beginning, joined by matching pink wheels, physique accents, carbon fiber particulars, aspect mirrors—and sure, even the one, central-mounted windshield wiper is pink.
That pink extends to the inside, with pink leather-based on the seats, pink accents on the sprint, a pink carbon fiber heart console, a pink shift knob, and naturally, a pink steering wheel. Even the engine bay is roofed in a pink carbon fiber weave.
What isn’t pink? Nice query. On the surface, the Capricorn logos on the entrance and rear of the automobile are spared the all-red getup. Inside, the aluminum housing on the gated shifter stays pure, as do the seat belt buckles. Apart from that—not a lot else escapes pink paint.

Robertino Wild, the CEO of Capricorn, says of the construct:
‘Initiatives such because the Capricorn 01 Zagato Tutto Rosso will not be pushed by styling alone. They problem us to rethink how supplies, engineering, and aesthetics work together at each stage of the automobile. When a buyer approaches us with a imaginative and prescient like this, it turns into a possibility to push our personal capabilities additional, not solely by way of design, however in how we industrialize and validate such an excessive configuration as a part of our growth program.’
As you’d anticipate, the corporate doesn’t listing a value for this one-of-one creation. However patrons who’re involved in a normal model of the Capricorn 01 should shell out no fewer than €2.95 million ($3.4 million at right this moment’s alternate charge). However with 888 horsepower and a six-speed handbook at your disposal—you get what you pay for.

Motor1’s Take: Monotone supercars could be hit or miss—however this instance of the Capricorn 01 pulls off the aesthetic. Paired with a robust engine and a gated shifter, this purchaser must be very glad along with his customized creation.
