| Diamond-encrusted, 852-page Ferrari Opus is for millionaire readers.
Ferrari has written more chapters in its famous history - quite literally, with a book that costs a staggering $275,000.
Only one copy is available in Australia of the most extravagant version of the Official Ferrari Opus tome, the Enzo 'Diamante' edition that weighs 37 kilograms and features a handcrafted red-leather cover embossed with a prancing horse logo comprising 30 rare white diamonds.
The square-shaped, 852-page super-book measures 50cm by 50cm and includes 200,000 words and 2000 pictures. Content includes details of every Ferrari road car and racing car ever built, as well as exclusive interviews and profiles of every driver who has raced for the team.
Ferrari is equally decorative when it comes to describing the book, which it's likely to regard as its very own bible.
"Opus is not a book; it's a concerto," says Antonio Ghini, creative advisor for the Opus. "[It's] a triumphant opera whose score is made up of cars, technology, history and achievements, and whose heroes will live on forever. Opus, like Ferrari, is a unique experience."
