PREVIEW

Ferrari has taken its passion for innovation to the next level — by launching a car that doesn’t exist in the real world.

In the same year the Italian marque claimed its third consecutive victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the 499P, Ferrari has unveiled the F76, the brand’s first car created entirely for the digital realm as a non-fungible token (NFT).

The F76’s name pays tribute to Ferrari’s very first triumph at Le Mans, 76 years ago, when Luigi Chinetti and Lord Selsdon steered the Touring-bodied 166 MM barchetta to victory in 1949.

But this isn’t a model you’ll ever see on the road. The F76 is a visionary concept, designed exclusively for members of Ferrari’s ultra-exclusive Hyperclub programme, which gives elite clients a front-row seat to the brand’s racing and design innovations.

Dreamed up by Ferrari’s in-house Styling Centre under Flavio Manzoni, the F76 is described as a “design manifesto” — a glimpse into the future of the Prancing Horse’s aesthetics and technology.

Visually, the F76 is like nothing Ferrari has ever shown before. It features a double-fuselage layout designed to achieve absolute purity in airflow management. Between the twin structures runs a central aerodynamic channel that transforms the body itself into a wing — maximising ground effect and stability at speed.

At the rear, a second wing sits above the twin tails, boosting downforce and efficiency. The vertical side cuts nod to Ferrari’s striking F80 concept, suggesting the F76’s styling language could influence the brand’s next generation of hypercars.

Even the taillights, four glowing circles integrated within the upper wing, are reimagined as structural elements. Meanwhile, retractable headlights under a suspended front band pay homage to Ferrari’s iconic pop-up lamps of the 1970s and ’80s.

Inside, the innovation continues: two separate cockpits allow both driver and passenger to share the full thrill of the experience, their controls synchronised through drive-by-wire technology.

Ferrari’s most privileged clients had the opportunity to design their own F76s through special “drops” released over three years as part of the Hyperclub initiative. Each virtual car was unique, reflecting personal design choices and digital craftsmanship.
