The Superamerica 45 is a one-off based on the 599 GTB with a rotating targa hardtop. Longtime Ferrari collector Peter Kalikow commissioned it to celebrate his 45 years as a Ferrari customer. The carbon roof and rear window pivot around a transverse axis behind the cabin, similar to the 2005 Superamerica. Styled at Centro Stile Ferrari, the car debuted on May 20, 2011, at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este.

The car was created under Ferrari's Special Projects program and was entirely designed and developed in-house. Peter Kalikow, a collector and longtime Ferrari customer, commissioned it. On the outside, carbon parts, a chrome grille, and burnished aluminum accents on the A-pillars, side mirrors, and door handles set accents. The carbon roof and rear window rotate around a transverse axis behind the cabin, with the trunk lid accommodating it when open.
