ferrari F76 Unveiled: The First Digital Hypercar to Transcend Reality

ferrari has unveiled the Ferrari F76, the first digital-only non-fungible token (NFT) vehicle in history, combining the brand’s racing heritage with futuristic technology. The virtual project is not a production car, but rather a manifesto that extends Ferrari’s design philosophy into the digital realm. The F76 model name commemorates Ferrari’s historic first victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 76 years ago in 1949.

redefining aerodynamics: dual fuselage construction

The most innovative feature of the F76 is its aircraft-inspired ‘Double Fuselage’ structure: the driver and passenger compartments are designed as two separate fuselages, with a huge central air passage between them. This creates an entirely new aerodynamic interaction, with the body itself acting as one giant wing to maximize ground effect.

front end: floating bands and a legacy of the past

the front end is dominated by a band design that appears to float between the two fuselages, an extreme evolution of the F80 concept’s ‘floating splitter’, while beneath it are retractable headlights that are a modern reinterpretation of the pop-up headlights that were an iconic Ferrari feature in the 1970s and 80s, bridging past and future.

side and rear: design integrated with function

the vertical lines of the sides inherit the sculptural language of the F80, hinting at the influence it will have on future production models. the rear section is a complex geometric shape with cooling integrated into the structure itself through phase optimization technology. this isn’t just beautiful, it plays a key role in efficiently dissipating heat from the internal components. the four signature taillights are seamlessly integrated with the upper wing to complete the design.

hyperclub: Build your own F76

The F76 project goes beyond mere appreciation, offering an unprecedented level of personalization that directly involves the customer. ferrari’s ‘Hyperclub’ program allows customers to create their own one-of-a-kind digital hypercar by selecting exclusive design option ‘drops’ that are released sequentially over a three-year period. it demonstrates Ferrari’s vision to offer a new kind of community experience that combines tradition and innovation.
