01 / THE STORY

History & context

The ARES DESIGN Pony is poised to make a remarkable entry into the company’s reborn legends portfolio, drawing inspiration from the classic Ferrari 412 while building on the modern GTC4Lusso platform. This new model represents the pinnacle of Ferrari four-seaters, blending iconic design with contemporary performance. At the heart of the ARES Pony is a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering a robust 690 horsepower. This powerful engine ensures that the Pony not only looks striking but also performs with exhilarating capability. The design of the ARES Pony pays homage to the elegant lines of the 1980s Ferrari 412, with its styling refined through extensive computer modeling and brought to life using the highest grade carbon fiber. This choice of material not only enhances the car’s visual appeal but also contributes to a reduced kerb weight, further optimizing performance. Inside, the ARES DESIGN Pony continues to impress with its luxurious craftsmanship. The interior features top-quality components, including handcrafted leather seats and a meticulously designed dashboard. Every detail, from the leather upholstery to the hand-stitched accents, has been carefully considered to create a sophisticated and comfortable driving environment. While the ARES Pony channels the timeless style of the original 412, it incorporates the modern underpinnings of the GTC4Lusso. This fusion of classic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology provides the Pony with advanced performance and connectivity, elevating the driving experience to new heights. The result is a vehicle that combines the elegance of Ferrari’s past with the innovation of its present, offering a unique blend of style and substance that pays tribute to its heritage while embracing the future.

SOURCE GUARD 2026-09-21 — ARES-hosted interview says Project Pony began as a Ferrari 412 reinterpretation brief, while legacy CI copy describes a GTC4Lusso-based implementation. Preserve the project identity and V12 context, but do not hard-code a donor platform until the project phase/physical car is reconciled.
