"Ferrari describes the F76 as the first-ever "digital hypercar," built not for asphalt but for the blockchain. The project was conceived by Ferrari's Styling Center under Flavio Manzoni as a legitimate design exercise, rather than a mere digital novelty. The choice of the number 76 commemorates Ferrari's endurance racing heritage while signaling a bold digital pivot. Designer: Ferrari The F76 breaks conventional design constraints by embracing the possibilities of digital space."
"Its double-fuselage layout separates driver and passenger into two distinct cells, flanking a central channel that transforms the entire body into a giant wing, something entirely unfeasible under road-car regulations. The front features retractable headlights tucked beneath a floating band, vertical side cuts echoing the forthcoming F80 hypercar, and a rear section where four characteristic Ferrari taillights are integrated into a wing-bridge structure."
"Ferrari employed generative algorithms and parametric design to optimize the F76's bodywork for aerodynamics, cooling and ground-effect performance, an approach that Chevrolet might call "physics by code". Inside the two cockpits, drive-by-wire technology synchronizes steering and pedals so driver and passenger receive feedback in unison, even though in the digital realm "feedback" is to the senses rather than the seat of the pants."
The F76 is a purely digital hypercar created as an NFT and commemorates 76 years since Ferrari's 1949 Le Mans success. The design originated at Ferrari's Styling Center under Flavio Manzoni as a bona fide design exercise. The digital-only form enables a double-fuselage layout that separates driver and passenger and converts the body into a giant aerodynamic wing. Retractable headlights, vertical side cuts, and taillights integrated into a wing-bridge structure define the exterior. Generative algorithms and parametric design optimized aerodynamics, cooling and ground-effect performance. Drive-by-wire synchronizes controls so both occupants receive simultaneous sensory feedback. Availability is invitation-only through Ferrari's Hyperclub with configurable liveries, wheels and trim and distribution via a locked-down digital file.
