This unique color, showcased on a Ferrari 812 Competizione Aperta, is said to be a one-of-a-kind creation. Its design draws inspiration from the 1955 Ferrari 750 Monza Scaglietti, chassis number 0510M, which is reflected in the colour’s name. The original car was famously driven by legendary figures of the era, including Carroll Shelby, Phil Hill, and Jim Hall.

In the 1960s, Ferrari colours were sometimes named after thoroughbred racehorses. One such color, Bull Lea, was named after an American-bred racehorse born in 1935 and was available as an option from the late 1960s through the 1970s. Amaranto comes from the red hue commonly found in amaranthus, a diverse group of over 50 plant species.

To date, only two Ferrari cars have been configured in the exclusive shade of Marrone Wilfred—a Ferrari 812 GTS and a Ferrari Purosangue—both owned by the same Ferrari enthusiast.

This colour was commissioned by the Lee Collection from Australia for their Ferrari 812 Competizione, configured through Ferrari’s Tailor Made program over Zoom during the pandemic lockdowns. Due to the car's prominence within Ferrari’s model lineup, they sought a bold and eye-catching shade inspired by Lamborghini's Arancio Borealis—one of the brand’s brightest hues. While Ferrari didn’t replicate the exact Lamborghini colour, they introduced a similar shade named Nuovo Arancio, translating to "New Orange".
