About Rosso Coburn
Estimated from the dominant body color of the carpaints.co photo (Ferrari 488 Pista; 35% of frame). Rosso Coburn is a unique Ferrari paint named after Stephanie and Ian Coburn. The paint itself was not specifically created for the customer as we've often times seen but already existed prior to the speccing of their car. Interestingly enough the color had no specific name and still didn't even 6 months later when they went to the factory to lock in the spec of their 458 Speciale. At that point the personal designer wrote Rosso Coburn on the sample and a new color was born and has since been requested by various other owners. This paint is sometimes nicknamed 'the color of love' by Ferrari, hinting to the passionate couple.

The story of Rosso Coburn
Ferrari's magazine told the story in August 2019. Stephanie and Ian Coburn, private investors living near Nashville, Tennessee, bought their first Ferrari, a 458 Italia, in 2012. They discovered Tailor Made at the 2013 Frankfurt show, where they had a 458 Speciale on order and were shown color samples; the one they liked had no name. Six months later in Maranello the same unnamed swatch appeared again, and their personal designer wrote "Rosso Coburn" on its back. The Speciale also wore a gray and silver stripe, which led to a second named color, Grigio Coburn, on their F12tdf. Ferrari says the red has since been requested by several other clients; a UK dealer offered a 2021 812 GTS in "Extra Range Rosso Coburn triple-layer metallic" in 2023.
