Having come across the Porsche Panamera wrapped in velvet, it was only a matter of time before we stumbled upon another exotic coated in the same luxurious material. And here it is. Caught on tape in the heart of London's exclusive Knightsbridge area, what we see here is the velvet-wrapped Ferrari 599 attracting the attention of another 599 driver who stopped to admire the supercar from close up. It's not a material that's to everyone's taste, especially when on a Ferrari, but there's something about velvet that makes you want to reach out and touch it.

Just check out the cute female passenger of the Rosso Corsa-coated 599 who alights the supercar to stroke the black velvet. And when the Arab driver of the 205-mph Prancing Horse drives off, he can't resist giving the Furrari a feel either.
