Meet new Ferrari with leather EXTERIOR - PHOTOS

13 July 2012 [13:10] - TODAY.AZ
Leather interiors are a given in many supercars but one wealthy owner of a £135,000 Ferrari has taken the luxury a step further by having his vehicle wrapped in leather

Luxury car customisation specialists Dartz were commissioned by an anonymous client based on the French Riviera to give a Ferrari F430 a black leather finish.

The Latvian company were open to the challenge having previously made headlines for creating a £1m bulletproof SUV with seats made from whale foreskin.
Dartz owner Leonard Yankelovich said: 'One of our very rich customers from the Cote d'Azur wanted a leather exterior and knew we could deliver.

'It took three of my staff 16 working days to apply the leather and finish. He was more than happy when he picked it up.'

Other than the time it took to transform the car, Mr Yankelovich would not reveal how it was achieved - or how much it cost - but simply said it was made possible thanks to 'Dartz know-how'.

He added that the leather is real but mysteriously described it as 'something inbetween' leather and vinyl.

As well as this leather make-over and the bulletproof SUV, 'Dartz know-how' was also recently employed by the producers of Sacha Baron Cohen's film The Dictator. They made three gold-plated Dartz Aladeen Edition Prombons to be used in the film.

Dartz specialise in high performance armoured vehicles and once also once made armoured vehicles for Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Tsar Nicolas II.
