The possible future of Ferrari design is now on display at the Galleria Ferrari in Maranello.
The selection of the 20 best nominees for the Ferrari of the future, created by automotive design students of four of the most prestigious schools worldwide are being exhibited at the Galleria Ferrari in Maranello.
The contest, organised in partnership with Pininfarina and with the support of Alcoa - the company that produces aluminum space frames for Ferrari - calls for the design of 1:4 scale models has seen at work, in the last months, the most talented of each college. The students have been challenging themselves in the production of scale 1:4 Ferrari models, which are '...innovative and fresh in style and functionality'. Students are expected to come up with shapes that are '...stimulating alternatives to the current and previous mid-engine eight cylinder cars and the front-engine twelve cylinder cars.
On 18 November, the Galleria Ferrari will host the prize-giving ceremony. The 20 selected projects will be voted by a technical board of jurors, including the Ferrari Style Committee, among whose members are Luca di Montezemolo, Piero Ferrari, and Jean Todt.
The winners will enjoy the opportunity of work experience at Ferrari or Pininfarina, transforming the academic project into professional practice. The design schools taking part include the Coventry School of Art and Design. |
