In a tribute to one of automotive history’s most iconic figures, Montblanc unveils the Great Characters Enzo Ferrari Special Edition Giallo Modena. This prestigious writing instrument captures the spirit of the man who revolutionized racing and built a legendary marque that continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
The pen’s striking yellow barrel, dubbed Giallo Modena, is a yellow hue that pays direct homage to Enzo Ferrari’s birthplace and the company’s founding city. Its silhouette is ingeniously inspired by the legendary Ferrari 500, the car that secured Scuderia Ferrari’s first Formula One World Championship in 1952.
Every detail on this pen is a narrative. The cap features the iconic Prancing Horse logo, with an iconic quote from Ferrari himself engraved on the clip: “You cannot describe passion, you can only live it”. Design cues are drawn directly from Ferrari’s engineering prowess: lines on the cap mimic engine vents, and the ruthenium-coated clip’s six lines on either side represent a powerful V12 engine. Personal tributes include engravings of Enzo’s birthdate and his first racing victory in 1923, while the nib is adorned with one of his famous nicknames “Pilota” and a steering wheel of a 250 GTO along with other Montblanc hallmarks that fans would expect to find on their writing instruments.
The yellow “Giallo Modena” GC Ferrari tribute joins the previously released “Rosso 70 Anni” in red. Montblanc and Ferrari, both marques of great character indeed and sure to find a place in the collections of fans of both venerable marques.
With this release, Montblanc masterfully translates the legacy of a racing champion and engineering maverick into an object of art. The Enzo Ferrari Special Edition is available as a fountain pen, rollerball, and ballpoint thru Montblanc Philippines.
