This rendering of a Ferrari F50 has every enticing detail that is absent in today’s Ferrari automobiles.
The rendering of the 2023 Ferrari F50 takes us back to an age when exquisite hypercars were popular and has a design that is retro-inspired but has a very modern-thinking electric engine.
If you ever found yourself believing that Ferrari’s finest work was in the past, then it’s possible that you came of age in the 1990s and were part of the generation that came of age during that time.
In that era, which is already more than three decades in the past, the Ferrari F40, F50, 355, 360, and 456 were all introduced within a ten-year span, at a time when flip-up headlights were still a common feature on automobiles.
Since then, supercar design has advanced, and vehicles now are maybe less unique than they were in the past since aerodynamics, efficiency, and safety have a greater influence on automobile design than they did in the past.
Although it was sometimes considered to be the “middle child” between the F40 and the Enzo, the Ferrari F50 was a supercar that pushed the boundaries further and innovated with its design. Although it was an elegant thing, the Ferrari F50 was a supercar that celebrated 50 years of the Italian marque.
Rostislav Prokop, a designer for HotCars, makes the unusual decision to conduct an experiment in which he attempts to determine how the F50’s design may be adapted to a contemporary model equipped with an electric drivetrain.
The design of the F50 wasn’t exactly light years away from that of the F40, but it bridged the gap between its previous incarnation and successor, making many improvements over the early F40, and is still perhaps an objectively good-looking model. It is only fair that the F50 gets its moment in the spotlight; after all, it has only fair that something that gets its moment in the spotlight.
Here, Rostislav offers the front end a sleek, pointed snout that is reminiscent of the Roma. He also provides the vehicle thin, curved LED headlights with inlets below the lights, at the sides of the bumper, and there is a huge grille area. Rostislav’s design is inspired by the Roma.
This ends up giving the front a considerably more menacing appearance and gives the impression of agility and great speed.
On the sides of the vehicle are side-scoops that are located in front of the rear wheels. These side-scoops would normally be used to aspirate the engine located in the back of the vehicle; however, given that this is an electric vehicle, it is possible that they are used for aerodynamics and brake cooling instead.
The hood at the front of the automobile still retains the centred triangle that points to the front of the vehicle, which also made a comeback on the Ferrari Enzo.
