⺠Hommage based on 550 Maranello
⺠A one-off for a wealthy client
Niels van Roij Design has unveiled its Breadvan Hommage , a modern-day interpretation of the 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Breadvan. Like most projects made by the London-based design house, it is built to specification by a client and only a single version will be produced.
Using a Ferrari 550 Maranello as its base, the Breadvan Hommage carries over the standard 5.5-litre V12 and six-speed manual gearbox. The only mechanical change made to the Breadvan Hommage is the addition of adjustable Koni shock absorbers â the same brand that made the shocks for the original 1962 racer.

Dutch designer Niels van Roij is responsible for many bite-the-back-of-your-hand beautiful projects. Standout creations include the Range Rover Adventum Coupe, a custom-built Land Rover Defender, and the Tesla Model S Shooting Brake. On this particular occasion, Niels looked into the glorious past of the Prancing Horse for a coachbuilt grand tourer. 48 photos
Breadvan Hommage is how this fellow is called, and it’s bewitching from every angle you admire it. Commissioned by “a true admirer of the Italian brand,” the one-off gran turismo is directly influenced by the short-wheelbase Breadvan that was developed to compete against the 250 GTO.
