If I'm not wrong, the GT Black Series Project One edition was a limited edition car, that was given as an option to purchase to the Project One customers, which had either the livery Valterri's car had or another one, not extremely sure about that. All the stars were hand painted apparently...

Valterri's car is his own Mercedes. He got it a few weeks ago and shared on social media, making it clear that he bought it and if the paint gives it, he also bought a Project One. The Giulia Quadrifoglio with the bigger rear wing is the Giulia GTA, a new version of the Giulia, more track focused than the standard Giulia Quadrifoglio with a whole new aero package and hardcore weight reduction.
@Jackinacox3 жыл бұрын
Those Alfas are pretty different underneath - the one with larger spoiler (Antonio's) is a GTAmm only 500 of them made, it's pretty much a racecar you can drive on the roads. The other one with smaller spoiler is a "regular" quadrifoglio that anyone can buy.
