01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Ferrari Meera S is a remarkable and opulent creation commissioned by Prince Saoud, the son of the King of Arabia, as a tribute to his then-lady love, Meera. Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, the Meera S stands out with a host of advanced and unique features that were pioneering for its time, making it a true icon of the extravagant 1980s. One of the most notable aspects of the Meera S is its twin air conditioning system, which ensures optimal comfort for both the driver and passengers regardless of external weather conditions. The car also features an electric sunroof, providing an open-air driving experience at the touch of a button. The interior of the Meera S is equally groundbreaking, with a unique instrument binnacle designed by Michelotti Technica. Instead of a traditional inside rear-view mirror, the vehicle is equipped with an in-dash monitor, showcasing an early integration of digital technology in automobiles. Additionally, the Meera S boasts windscreen wipers on all four sides, an unusual and practical feature enhancing visibility in all weather conditions. Further emphasizing its advanced design, the Meera S includes a state-of-the-art sound system that was built into the car from new, offering superior audio quality and entertainment. The vehicle also has a unique air exchange system integrated into the doors, ensuring a fresh cabin environment, and exterior brake ducting, which enhances its performance and cooling efficiency. The Michelotti Meera S is frequently mentioned in various automotive books, underscoring its significance and influence in car design. It holds the distinction of being the last Ferrari built by the legendary Michelotti, adding to its historical importance and collectible value. Overall, the Ferrari Meera S is a testament to the luxurious and forward-thinking design ethos of the 1980s. Its combination of cutting-edge technology, unique features, and bespoke design make it a standout example of automotive excellence and opulence, celebrated by car enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
