Never knew Ferrari made Colnagos.

Like the BMC/Lambo the Colnago Ferrari was more a branding than anything.
At least this relationship makes sense, as it's Colnago "for" Ferrari as painted on the down tube. A salute to Ferrari and two companies from Italy at the top of their game.
Specialized and McLaren, more of a technological relationship, using McLaren's wind tunnel, layup schedule and aerodynamicists to produce a product.
I fail to see any relationship between the Swiss manufacturer BMC and the Italian legend Lamborghini, granted both are technologically driven companies in the pursuit of fast machines.
BMC did a publicity stint with swiss watch maker Hublot years back, using the beloved SLT01 frame. I think they should have stuck with precision Swiss watch makers like Audemars Piguet instead of the done, car company partnership. Even Lexus might have been a better fit since they also use the IMPEC carbon braiding machine in production of their CF's.
Hey, there's always teh Pugeot TT Concept bike, (yes it is really copper plating).
