Nose = F8 + Emira Rear half = F8 + Chiron Interior is incredibly smooth. And I like the pitch for a manual supercar.
This guy really lit into the design and most of the comments took the critic to task. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I don't understand the design of the rear backlight and where the roof seems to hang above it in mid-air. Maybe this is an AI rendering?

I thought his take was a bit harsh so I took time to look at his website iMAN Maghsoudi https://imanmaxudi.com/ It shows 3 "car" proposals; of which one is the Ferrari posted here. Not sure he should be poking the bear... Image Unavailable, Please Login
SC40, although the vehicle photos were less stimulating, this sketch is interesting, especially the roof shape. Kind of late 1960's Mclaren road car mixed with the F80! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
https://imanmaxudi.com/portfolio/wild-wave-performance-truck/ He also designed an SUV where he deleted the rear side windows and rear glass. So now you have a truck with an awkward extended roof that interferes with loading. All the best, Andrew.
I think hes right the car looks like some amateur ran AI to "enhance" a modern Ferrari P4/5. Ugly mouth, busy vents, soul less rear. Someone responded to him that at the end of the day the bosses choose what should be made and its not particularly all of the designers choices. Zagato has some ugly makes like the Lambo 5-95 but I always admired their 2008 Spyker c12... I would like to see that remade. Image Unavailable, Please Login I posted about this Iman guy when real estate "tycoon" Manny K employed him to design a car and possibly start a design company. Manny has since been charged by the IRS and people are saying his real estate course is overpriced garbage. Seems like the internet forum (discord) they started about designing a car hasent been updated for many months and possibly abandoned. Iman made some distasteful front ends that resemble an electric razor for the design vision but I find one of the rear designs pretty cool. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Every day I see more & more AI generated Ferraris and car designs in general. Here's todays Ferrari wet dream....... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Carlo Palazzani 1h · "A project that transcends pure aesthetics, blending disciplines into a harmonious, forward-looking vision. By weaving in generative design and biomimicry, it reimagines the design process from its roots, elevating it to new heights" His words, not mine. This was added to the post. From Ferrari? Don't know. Image Unavailable, Please Login Ferrari has unveiled the F76, its first-ever hypercar NFT, a fully digital concept created by Flavio Manzoni’s design team to explore the future of generative automotive design. The “F76” name honors 76 years since Ferrari’s 1949 Le Mans victory, and the car features a radical double-fuselage body with a central aerodynamic channel acting as a giant wing. Built using parametric algorithms and biomimetic principles, every surface serves a structural or airflow purpose, hinting at Ferrari’s next design direction. The NFT exists within Ferrari’s new Hyperclub program, letting collectors own and customize digital versions through limited drops over the next three years. Could this be Ferrari’s first real step toward blending its racing heritage with a future of virtual supercars? What are your thoughts?

I stand corrected. It is from Ferrari: https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corse-clienti/articles/ferrari-f76 Scarperia 25 October 2025 In the year of its third consecutive victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the 499P, Ferrari presents the F76, the first car created exclusively for the digital world in the form of an NFT. The name pays tribute to the Prancing Horse’s first triumph in the legendary French endurance race, achieved by Luigi Chinetti with Lord Selsdon at the wheel of the Touring-bodied 166 MM barchetta 76 years ago, in 1949. The F76 is not a production car, but a pioneering virtual project that combines Ferrari’s racing tradition with the innovation of generative design and digital technologies, opening a new frontier in the brand experience. Designed for clients of the exclusive Hyperclub programme, the F76 is one of the digital assets of the initiative created by the Maranello-based company to support the 499P competing at Le Mans and in the World Endurance Championship, allowing clients to experience this journey alongside the official team. A new design manifesto Created by the Ferrari Styling Centre led by Flavio Manzoni, the F76 is a design manifesto which aims to prefigure the shapes of Ferraris of the future. It is a visionary project that sets out to redefine the boundaries of automotive design through a parametric approach where form, function and performance merge as a single organism. Innovative solutions arising from the fusion of biomimetics, architectural principles, engineering, and computer science open new horizons in automotive design, going beyond mere styling exercises and leading to the development of several patented solutions. Form and aerodynamics Visually, the F76 stands out for its double fuselage, the result of a quest for maximum purity in air flow management. Wing profiles and refined geometries are designed to enhance performance and surpass conventional rules. The separation between the driver and passenger cells, which aligns the wheelbase with the cabins, allows for a new interaction between the underbody and the bodywork, with a central channel that transforms the car’s body into a wing, making the most of ground effect. The flows split at the front and rejoin at the rear, where a second wing sits atop the two tails, enhancing the efficiency of the unique diffuser. The flanks feature vertical cuts reminiscent of the F80, emphasising how the inspiration that the technical-stylistic language introduced by the new supercar is destined to influence future production models. This language is expressed in the contrast between the taut, technical lines of the wings and the sculptural body, with an aesthetic further enhanced by mathematical optimisation managed by generative algorithms. In the central area of the fuselages, a three-dimensional livery with lateral louvres stands out, highlighting a typical element of Ferrari’s design vocabulary. The tails integrate thermal functions directly into the structure thanks to topology optimisation, which generates complex geometries to channel cooling flows and maximise heat dissipation from the internal mechanical components. The F76 also represents a challenge in structural design: its futuristic configuration has revolutionised interior spaces and volumes, with technologies that combine traditional functionality requirements with innovative geometries produced by the generative method. The rear is characterised by two vertical profiles that define the track’s width, while the upper wing acts as a lintel, highlighting the central channel as a conceptual “portal” to the new design language. The four iconic taillights are synergistically integrated into the wing, contributing to overall performance. The front is dominated by a band suspended between the wings, which takes the floating splitter concept typical of the F80 to the extreme. Below this band, the fuselages dive towards the splitter, creating ramps that emphasise both the entrance to the central channel and the lateral ducts for airflow over the wheels. The two pairs of retractable headlights, positioned laterally under the suspended band, represent the link between the legacy of Ferrari’s 1970s and ‘80s pop-up headlights and the futuristic character of the F76, giving it a distinctive look inspired by tradition. The interior is designed to enhance the shared driving experience: two separate cockpits, utilising drive-by-wire technology, synchronise every driving component, from the steering wheel to the pedals, allowing both occupants to experience and share sensations in real time, elevating both the emotional and technical participation in the driving experience. The F76 project offered clients an unprecedented personalisation experience: each digital car was created by choosing from various design options, released as exclusive drops over the three years of the Hyperclub programme. Thanks to this platform, clients were able to bring their own F76 to life, becoming active members of an exclusive and innovative community where tradition and innovation meet in the name of passion.
What are we... sitting in one of these things virtually in the horizontal position? Whats next fiat Ferrari bitcoin?
Since they are pitching aero, I wonder what a theoretical coefficient of drag (cd) might be or if it could even be modeled without a wind tunnel. The original Bonneville belly tankers (from actual aircraft fuel tanks) of early 1950s vintage are said to be estimated at around 0.5 cd, which is quite high due to the use of exposed wheels and suspension parts. For a more contemporary comparison, most Ferrari hypercars seem to be in the 0.3 cd ballpark: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Its certainly not pretty, but I appreciate that its actually fairly original & futuristic looking, while still retaining some traditional Ferrari design language.
