I could watch this absolutely gorgeous Ferrari F399 concept drive down the LeMans all day long!

Posted on by

Designed as the spirit-challenger of the 2019 Aston Martin Valkryie (and you’ll see a bit of that Valkryie soul in this bad-boy), the Ferrari F399 concept was created by automotive designer Sabino Leerentveld as a hypothetical blend of an F1 LeMans racer and a hypercar.

Overall, needless to say, the car looks like it would tear up the asphalt and summon the devil living below (not sure if that’s entirely hyperbole), and was named after the F288 GTO… the F399 being its nomenclature successor. (Not to be confused with F399, the F1 racecar)

The Ferrari F399 concept is one of the few examples of an entirely organic design process that started from an idea and reached its finished version without a steady path connecting the two. Sabino sat down and drew what he thought the headlights and taillights of the car should look like and directly went into the 3D modeling phase. Chasing an aggressive design that was also dominated by actual functional surfaces, Sabino created the concept that he went on to christen the F399. The racecar obviously comes in Ferrari’s classic red, and sports a closed cockpit, indicating a future where Formula 1 drivers will be completely enclosed within their racecars… but that’s enough of me talking.

This might be Ferrari’s sexiest concept car… and it isn’t made by Ferrari

Posted on by

It isn’t made by Pininfarina either.

Meet the Stallone, a car that embodies Enzo Ferrari’s golden words “A car maker need be neither an engineer nor a technician. He must be someone who loves his passion for cars”. Ferrari’s cars have always sought to retain that emotional quality, which when coupled with the company’s technical prowess, has resulted in some of the world’s most incredible four-wheeled machines. Murray Sharp, a designer and self-proclaimed fan of the Italian automotive company, designed the Stallone to capture everything that’s great about Ferrari. A cross between an absolute sculpted beauty and an uncompromised race-machine, the Ferrari Stallone concept is, if I may use the phrase, ‘peak Ferrari’.

The Stallone (which literally means Stallion in Italian)(yes, it rhymes!) comes with a beautifully sinewy design that makes the car look muscular yet lean. The vehicle comes with a monocoque chassis, a mid-mounted V12 Turbo engine and a kinetic energy recovery system that allows the car to reserve power every time you brake. The two-seater comes in Ferrari’s classic hot-red, with carbon-fiber trims on the front, top, and back. The Stallone comes fitted with floating headlights that channel air underneath it, an absolutely gorgeous floating buttress for a rear pillar, and Murray’s reinterpretation of the car company’s signature circular tail-lights, design details that all went under rigorous testing and selection before arriving at their respective final forms. You can see the evolution in the form of a GIF here.

Set against the backdrop of a concrete airport hangar, the Stallone looks aggressively supersonic, almost like a fighter-jet, complete with those afterburner-style exhausts on the top-rear, right above the taillights. The car comes fitted with cameras for rear-view mirrors, and what Murray calls Augmented Reality Camera (ARC) Technolocy that feeds drivers with not just visuals, but also information about vehicles behind it.

The Ferrari GT Cross concept integrates the company’s racing DNA with SUV-design

Posted on by

The Ferrari GT Cross isn’t just a large, red SUV with the raging-horse logo on its front. It isn’t a Lamborghini Urus or Maserati Levante-styled SUV that dilutes their respective brands’ DNA to build something more conservative. It’s every bit a Ferrari. Styled as a raised coupe in the spirit of a classic GT Ferrari, the Ferrari GT Cross concept from Jean-Louis Bui (you may remember his Citroen SUV concept from a couple of years back) stays every bit true to the evergreen Ferrari racecar. The SUV coupe comes with a central front engine, 2 seats, a 4 wheel drive, and stays true to Ferrari’s brand language, with a long hood, aerodynamic air inlets, fluid lines, and that classically brutish red and black paint-job!

Designer: Jean-Louis Bui

This retro-future 6-propeller racing drone is inspired by Ferrari’s F1 cars from the 50s

Posted on by

There isn’t really much to say about the Lazzarini FD-One that isn’t said in the title. Designed by Italy-based studio Lazzarini, the FD-One is a conceptual racing tricopter drone with 6 propellers, a V12 gas engine, and 3 battery packs. Featuring a cockpit big enough for two, the FD-One takes a lot of inspiration from Ferrari’s F1 and F2 racing cars in the 50s, with a very close resemblance to the tubular framed Ferrari 500 F2.

The FD-One comes with three pairs of co-axial electric propellers powered by the V12 engine and three separate battery packs. The vehicle probably won’t have a high flying altitude, given that the cockpit isn’t a closed one… and seeing how the cockpit is relatively at the back of the vehicle, the FD-One is equipped with a camera on its front to give the pilot clear visibility. Lazzarini claims that the entire vehicle measuring 24 feet in length, could weigh just under 2000 pounds, and have a top speed of 310mph (498.8kmh). Lazzarini’s currently seeking for investors to help back the construction of a working prototype.

With no air-intakes on its sides, the new Ferrari Roma captures the unblemished beauty of the 50s

Posted on by

Paying tribute to the golden 50s and 60s, often considered the peak era of design at Ferrari, the Roma was launched today in a dedicated client event in its namesake city of Rome. The mid-front engined coupe may not be showcased in Ferrari’s signature red, but it does certainly embody the design language of the cars that would adorn the city of Rome in the 50s and 60s.

The Ferrari Roma sports some serious curves, and sports the same chassis and award-winning turbocharged V8 engine found in the Portofino. The car’s design comes from their in-house team, Centro Stile Ferrari, headed by Flavio Manzoni. Although it does borrow a great deal from Ferrari’s long-lasting relationship with design-house Pininfarina, with an incredibly well-proportioned and clean design, devoid of any ducts or air-intakes that would corrupt the car’s unblemished form. As per sources, the car comes with a top speed of 320km/h and an acceleration of 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds. Ferrari’s all set to launch the Roma in 2020, catering to its patrons who have an eye for a certain level of finesse Ferrari is known for… and it doesn’t matter if you’re not behind the wheel, because probably for the first time, the passenger seat has its very own dashboard too!

The Ferrari 812 Superfast is exactly what it sounds like

Every shift of the gears unleashes a burst of torque as I link corners on the mountain roads of Northern California. I hit the brakes hard as I head into a curve. I'm not even sure I needed to brake. The wheels are firmly planted to the asphalt a...

The Ferrari Aliante Barchetta was designed for lovers of nostalgia

Posted on by

It’s difficult to find a car in 2019 that has a complete fuel-powered drive, with a manual gearbox and no electronic driving aids. Looking at the glorious past for inspiration, the conceptual Aliante Barchetta (Italian for gliding boat) is a taste of fond Ferrari glory of the yesteryears. In the modern age, the Aliante Barchetta is designed for nostalgic petrolheads, with a naturally aspirated flat 12 engine with independent throttle bodies, manual gearbox, and the absence of any electronic driving aids. However, it takes on a classic-meets-contemporary approach on the outside, with a couple of cues taken from Ferrari and Pininfarina’s design language through the 2000s, and a complete departure from the edgy, faceted design language of modern-day supercars. The Aliante Barchetta comes with a carbon fibre monocoque with integrated seats, big scoops, no doors, no windows and no roof. Designed by a supercars-of-the-heyday fanatic, the conceptual 2019 Aliante Barchetta clearly is a hat-tip to the glory of automotive design from the good old days… and as designer Daniel Soriano rather eloquently states his design brief, “Modern hipsters will hate it”.

A transport designer imagines what F1 cars in 2021 will look like

Posted on by

For transportation designer and car enthusast Olcay Tuncay, 2021 is all set to be a very intriguing year because that’s the year Formula 1 will see radical changes, because the Concorde Agreement, which governs the sport and sets out the commercial terms on which teams compete, expires at the end of 2020.

Tuncay used this opportunity to design a car that he feels suit the immediate future of F1. Envisioned in the branding of Scuderia Ferrari and Mercedes AMG (the two biggest names in F1), the car comes with a partially covered cockpit, a feature implemented just years ago, and has an overall streamlined look with minimal drag, and also sports the 18-inch wheels that will be a part of F1’s future tire contract.

2021 is being viewed as the first big chance for Liberty Media, F1’s newest owners, to significantly implement their vision for the sport’s future, making it more entertaining.
