A Touch Of Gold: Touring Superleggera Introduces Arese RH95 'Vento D'Oro' Supercar
by AutoExpert | 18 March, 2024
The Italian coachbuilder Touring Superleggera has unveiled a new version of the Arese RH95 supercar, duly named 'Vento D'Oro.' Following in the footsteps of the 2021 premiere of the original Arese RH95, this supercar keeps its custom-built carbon fiber exterior.
The manufacturer didn't reveal much, but the car's interior and specs make it look like it may be a cross between the Ferrari 488 and the F8.
What distinguishes the Vento D'oro is its brand-new livery with desert-inspired colors. Extensive, vivid Gold Leaf highlights tie in with the exterior color of White Morning Frost. Careful hand-applying of genuine gold has covered the whole rear fascia and other body elements. Also, the unique 20-inch wheels have a two-tone finish that goes well with the glossy black splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser.
Continuing with the motif, the interior has white leather and Alcantara upholstery with gold accents. The Touring Superleggera stands out for its custom interior panels, such as the elegant center console divider and the modified temperature vents. As an extra touch, it also has a golf plaque underneath the hood that bears the signatures of the car's craftsmen. This Arese RH96 is number five out of eighteen that will be manufactured.
Moreover, owning a Touring Superleggera gives you the freedom to personalize your ride with the look, feel, and performance you desire. According to the company, the specialists at Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera spend 5,000 hours on each car, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail that goes into each custom coach-built vehicle. Additionally, interior designer Dtales Milano's collaborative efforts—who also applied the gold leaf accents—ensured the project's exceptional finish.
Compared to the donor car, the Arese RH95 is somewhat larger, measuring 4,782 mm (188.3 inches) in length, 1,982 mm (78 inches) in width, and 1,259 mm (49.6 inches) in height. A 488 GTB is the proven source of the mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 engine's 661 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. A more powerful V8 with 710 horsepower was utilized in earlier RH95 versions, sourced from the 488 Pista and the F8 Tributo.
The seven-speed DCT automatic gearbox sends power to the back axle. With a claimed peak speed of 205 mph and a 0-62 mph sprint time of three seconds flat, it matches the performance attributes of the Ferrari 488 GTB. The Arese RH95 has a starting price of €1.58 million ($1.72 million), including the cost of the donor car.
