Diamond-Encrusted Ferrari Book is Launched

The Ferrari 'Enzo Diamante' Opus features a diamond-encrusted Prancing Horse made of more than 30 carats of diamonds, laid out on the book’s handcrafted red leather cover.

This ultra-premium version of the book – which also comes in three other editions – will only be produced on order, with a maximum of one version sold in every country in the world.

Kraken Opus, creators of lavish, large format, limited-edition books on iconic sports teams and individuals, produced the giant-sized tomb over the course of three years.

Weighing a staggering 37kg, and boasting thousands of unique, rare and unpublished images throughout its 850 pages, the book features a vast amount of specially compiled content, including information on every model Ferrari has ever produced, and every driver to have raced for the Italian marquee.

As well as the extravagant Diamente edition, the Ferrari Opus comes in three different versions: the Classic edition, which is limited to 4,300 copies and is priced at £2,000; the Cavallino Rampante edition, which is limited to 500 copies and includes personal signatures of Ferrari greats, priced at £3,250; and the Enzo edition, which is limited to 400, comes in a sleek, black carbon fibre clamshell and is personally signed by all living Ferrari world champions, costing £20,000.

The Enzo edition can also be accompanied by a specially designed bookstand by interior designers Candy & Candy.

As well as the hard copy versions, Apple iTunes store is offering free iPad and iPhone apps for Ferrari Opus, which include excerpts from the book.
