Amantea and his team were tasked with turning Walker's stylistic concepts into reality.
Walker was given a scale model of the car to work with.
Walker began 'doing basic line drawings' on the Battista using vinyl tape.

On the interior, specially embroidered Poltrona Frau leather covers the seat backs and bottoms, while a custom turquoise-plaid textile inlay provides the headrests with a brilliant pop of color.
A color-blocked motif, inspired by scannable bar codes, covers the roof and extends to a custom carbon-fiber panel at the rear.

This Incredible Collection of Pristine McLarens Is Going up for Grabs
Not all car collections are created equal. The late Mansour Ojjeh's personal collection of McLaren supercars is set to be sold by Tom Hartley Jnr. The assortment of 20 vehicles charts the evolution of the marque over the past four decades and includes examples of the finest models to leave Woking, almost all of which are in mint condition.

It helps to have been integral to the marque's success, both on and off the track, for decades. The French-Saudi billionaire, who passed away in 2021, took an ownership stake in McLaren Racing in 1984. Shortly after this, Ojjeh, who was also the CEO of the TAG Group, financed the development of the TAG-Porsche engine that helped earn McLaren two Formula 1 constructor's championships and three driver's championships. But Ojjeh wasn't just interested in on-track success. Following the 1988 Italian Grand Prix, he got to talking to McLaren's then-CEO Ron Dennis and the legendary Gordon Murray about developing a road car. Anyone familiar with McLaren knows that this would lead to the creation of the F1, the vehicle that established the blueprint for the modern supercar. Ojjeh was so impressed with the results that he set about selling off his collection of cars, which included a number of Ferraris, and began building a new one made up of McLarens. Of course, these aren't just any old McLaren supercars. Each of the vehicles, from a 1998 F1 to a 2023 Elva, is the last example from its production run. They are almost all finished in a dazzling metallic orange originally called 'Yquem,' after the dessert wine, but which would eventually be renamed to 'Mansour Orange.' The supercars are almost as close to brand new as you're going to find anywhere on the secondary market. All but two of the vehicles remain in 'factory-delivered condition' and have been maintained under direct instruction from McLaren. The two that have been driven include the collection's crown jewel, the F1, which has just over 1,100 miles on the odometer, and a P1 GTR that was used exclusively for McLaren-run track days. Are you already imagining a stunning orange McLaren sitting in your garage? Tom Hartley Jnr hasn't said when it'll begin selling Ojjeh's McLarens, but it figures to be soon. There has also been no word on pricing, but considering that the British classic car dealer recently sold Bernie Ecclestone's collection of grand prix cars for $646 million, those looking for a bargain should probably look of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article.
