With its roots tracing back to Enzo Ferrari’s birth in 1898, Modena provides the ideal setting for this automotive concept.

Crafting the Extreme Shape for Aerodynamics and Elegance
The story of making this amazing concept started with a bold drawing that looked like a spaceship flying through space. The designer wanted to make the car as sleek and fast-looking as possible, so he removed anything unnecessary.
During the sketching phase the designer had to decide if he wanted to make a straight line from the front to the back of the car, or if he wanted it to look like it was moving forward. He chose the second option, making the front of the car really low to the ground, like a race car, but still easy to see out of.
To make the air moves naturally, he added big channels on the front to make the car go faster with less resistance. The middle part of the front of the car looks like a Formula 1 car, showing it’s made for speed.

At the back of the car, he kept things modern but also traditional, with straight lines for the lights, like other recent Ferraris. The designer also got creative, using new materials to make the lights shine bright and show off the Ferrari logo in a cool way.
Blending Form and Function
The rear wing of the car seamlessly extends over the lights, creating a unified design that emphasizes aerodynamics. This careful attention to detail ensures that airflow remains unobstructed, maintaining the car’s clean lines and efficiency on the road. Divided into three distinct sections, the rear of the car balances functionality with aesthetics.
A gray area houses the logo and lights, defining the boundaries, while a red section continues the volume, and a black area adds visual contrast and aids airflow from the bottom, reducing drag. Each element is carefully crafted, contributing to both performance and visual appeal.
