There are limited editions, and then there are true one-offs - and the Ferrari 812 GTS 8XX 1 of 1 by Onyx Concept firmly belongs to the latter category. Finished in a striking Nero Daytona over Rosso Corsa combination and built around Ferrari's naturally aspirated V12, this 2023 example has arrived at Dourado Luxury Cars in Al Quoz as one of the most exclusive open-top Ferraris ever to be offered in the Dubai market.
For collectors browsing Dubai's luxury car scene, single-example builds of this calibre rarely stay available for long. Dourado's showroom is known for sourcing exactly this kind of rarity, and this Onyx Concept commission sits alongside a broader Ferrari collection that spans both factory and bespoke-modified models, all part of the dealership's wider inventory of luxury and exotic cars in the UAE.
Buyers who want to compare the standard 812 GTS experience against this one-off before deciding can look at Dourado's Ferrari 812 GTS in Bianco Italya, which showcases the same open-top V12 platform in its factory form - a useful reference point for understanding just how far Onyx Concept has pushed this particular build.
A V12 Icon Reimagined by Onyx Concept
The Ferrari 812 GTS already occupies rarefied territory as one of the last open-top, naturally aspirated V12 grand tourers Ferrari has produced. Onyx Concept - the tuning house behind this particular commission - has taken that foundation and elevated it into something singular. The "8XX" designation nods to the model's power output, while the "1 of 1" status confirms that no other car anywhere in the world shares this exact specification.
Under the bonnet, the V12 has been developed to deliver 900 hp, a meaningful step beyond the standard car's already formidable output. Onyx Concept's approach to these projects typically extends beyond raw power, encompassing bespoke aerodynamic elements, refined cabin detailing, and a distinctive visual identity that separates each build from anything else on the road - or in this case, anything else in existence.
Nero Daytona and Rosso Corsa: A Colour Combination Built for Attention
Exterior presentation plays a defining role in any collector Ferrari, and this 812 GTS 8XX makes its statement through a deliberate contrast of Nero Daytona and Rosso Corsa. The pairing draws on two of Ferrari's most storied colour codes - Nero Daytona referencing the marque's endurance racing heritage, and Rosso Corsa standing as arguably the most recognisable red in motorsport history.
Together, they give this particular car a visual identity that is unmistakably Ferrari while remaining entirely its own. For collectors in Dubai, where personalisation and exclusivity are prized as much as performance, a one-off colour treatment of this kind adds a further layer of desirability on top of the mechanical upgrades.
Why "1 of 1" Matters in the Collector Car World
In an era where limited-production runs of ten, twenty, or fifty cars are increasingly common, a genuine one-off carries a different weight altogether. This Ferrari 812 GTS 8XX is not part of a numbered series - it is the only example of its kind, a distinction that tends to matter significantly to serious collectors and investors evaluating long-term value.
- Unique build specification not replicated on any other Ferrari 812 GTS
- Bespoke Onyx Concept engineering, including the uprated V12 output
- A distinctive Nero Daytona and Rosso Corsa exterior treatment
- Open-top GTS body style, combining V12 performance with al fresco driving
For buyers assembling a serious Ferrari collection, or those simply looking for the most exclusive open-top V12 currently available in the region, a true 1 of 1 build removes any ambiguity about scarcity. This is a car that will not be duplicated.
Onyx Concept's Growing Presence in Dubai's Collector Scene
Onyx Concept has built a reputation among Gulf collectors for taking already desirable platforms - Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, and beyond - and reworking them into something more personal and more extreme. Dourado's own showroom reflects that trend, with other Onyx Concept builds such as the Ferrari 812 Superfast 8XX Limited Edition, the Rolls Royce Dawn by Onyx Concept, and the Rolls Royce Wraith by Onyx Concept 1 of 1 all sitting within the same rarefied bracket. Readers interested in the tuner's full portfolio can also explore the Onyx Concept collection directly on Dourado's site.
For those who want to see how Onyx Concept describes its own engineering philosophy and design language, further detail is available on the official Onyx Concept website. Similarly, background on the standard 812 GTS platform that underpins this build can be found via Ferrari's official site.
Where This 812 GTS Fits in a Dubai Collection
Dubai's collector car market has increasingly gravitated toward cars that offer more than performance figures alone - provenance, exclusivity, and visual distinction now carry equal weight. A one-off Ferrari, particularly one built on the GTS open-top platform and finished with this level of detail, checks every one of those boxes simultaneously.
Whether displayed as the centrepiece of a private collection or driven regularly through the city, this 812 GTS 8XX offers a combination that is difficult to replicate: factory Ferrari engineering, Onyx Concept's bespoke enhancements, and the certainty that comes with true one-off status. Buyers considering their next addition may also wish to compare it against Dourado's other 812 GTS examples, including the red 812 GTS and white 812 GTS currently in stock.
