Sorry Ferrari, Red Bull got you 15 years ago.
Blanchimont@reddit
Ferrari seemed to forget it's not even their own first digital hypercar. They already did one in the Vision Gran Turismo series, just like so many other brands.
Muted_Screen_211@reddit
man, what is wrong with some of you guys? The RB was not a product for sale, the Ferrari VGT was not for sale. So this is their first digital car, which you can buy. it's also time people realise many of these cars and this NTF is simply someone for people to launder their money and these companies get to do more R&D as a result.
HarrisonDou@reddit
I honestly found it interesting and quite cool that among all the VGTs designed, McLaren was the only manufacturer that decided to build real copies and sell them.
FL4vio@reddit
Yeah but at least the vision was a “”””future project”, something that could represent a future car from like 10 years And gt have a lot of real physics and cure on that aspect, so they really worked in the vision, for making it performant, this is only an image, no real work from engineers nor testing, only design, and i have to say that it isn’t even good

I think the Nike One concept beat Red Bull

It looks like that Silencerz car in Hot Wheels Acceleracers, the Iridium hahaha

The first what

It’s an NFT…🙄

In the big 25??? 😭
nukleabomb@reddit
I for one, am glad that Ferrari is immortalizing their legendary Le Mans victories with
an NFT....
MaybeNext-Monday@reddit
“The digital world” bro I can download a jpeg of literally any Ferrari model, what are they on
woodsides@reddit
You can now imagine that you're driving your Ferrari Hypercar. It's a very exclusive limited edition and costs only $6.9M. It has sold out before the unveil.

Hello Chris Robert.

Can you imagine the poor(?) souls who own these, receiving their jpegs from a Google drive link?
auerz@reddit
Read the article
"In the central area of the fuselages, a three-dimensional livery with lateral louvres stands out, highlighting a typical element of Ferrari’s design vocabulary. The tails integrate thermal functions directly into the structure thanks to topology optimisation, which generates complex geometries to channel cooling flows and maximise heat dissipation from the internal mechanical components."
I dont know if this is some wank a first year philosophy student vomited out after a 5 day drug fueled studying binge, or it's AI
aerostatic9000@reddit
Really pretentious way to basically say they've put a lot of vents everywhere to aid in cooling and did a lot to the aerodynamics.
Which doesn't even matter since this thing is not even real lmfao.

The first way to skip buying 20 Ferraris you don't want for an F80 allocation, cut out the middleman and instead pay Ferrari for 20 pictures from a configurator for your F80 allocation
JustACanadianGamer@reddit
NO Ferrari are you kidding me
somerandomdude452@reddit
Ferrari makes a couple good looking cars with the 458, LaFerrari, SF90, and 296 then immediately reverts to making ugly ass boxes... Well "making" is a loose term
jrush987@reddit
Are you 12. This is the biggest load of rubbish I have read.
somerandomdude452@reddit
It's objectively true though, look at their most famous cars from that time frame, the 288 was a box that drove like crap, the Testarossa while being the genesis of supercars wasn't a looker. The F40 was function over form, the F50 was... Something. The California, 360, 430, and Enzo all looked better but weren't beautiful by any means. The last really good looking cars they had were the Daytona, the 330, Dino, and 365; up until the 458.
lockpickerkuroko@reddit
18 years after the Miura.
somerandomdude452@reddit
Ok the commonly quoted genesis of supercars, hell the old Jaguar XK120 and the 300sl would probably qualify as the original supercars.
lockpickerkuroko@reddit
If you're gonna go far back then why not qualify the Blower Bentleys as supercars?
But even so, the Testarossa doesn't fit anywhere in that definition. It didn't define the wedge design, that's the work of Roy Cannara and the 1966 concept he made (alternatively, Gandini with the Carabo in 1969 and Bertone with the Stratos Zero in 1970). Side strakes were already a thing on Koenig Specials-tuned cars in the 70s. The aforementioned Miura, the Dino, and countless other cars predate it for mid-engined design.
The Testarossa was an evolution of the 365/512 BB lineage. It was a response to people saying those cars were too rough and coarse at the time.
Also, the 288 driving like crap? I'd be curious to hear whether that's personal experience. Everything I've seen suggests it's quite the compliant, competent vehicle. 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,5
somerandomdude452@reddit
I used the Xk120 and the 300sl as examples because they were some of the first really high performance post war cars, the modern definition of supercars I've always seen is Price, Exclusivity, and performance. All 3 of which those two had. I've never known of anyone saying that supercars have to be mid engined.
As for the Testarossa, I agree with you but a lot of people classify the Testarossa and the Countach as the first to supercars. I personally don't believe that to be true as plenty of other cars such as the ones you mentioned like the Miura and Dino predate them.
As for the 288, I almost certainly screwed up which car I'm talking about, the 288 is actually one of the few Ferraris from that time that I really like. I can't keep their damn nomenclature straight in my head though. It was one of the boxy wedge shaped Ferraris from the 80s, I've heard it drove like crap, was unresponsive, underpowered and unreliable from multiple different sources.
And no I haven't driven these cars, I'm pulling this all out of my ass from various car magazines and reviews I've seen over the years which is why my details are a little blurry.
lockpickerkuroko@reddit
You might be thinking of something like the 208 GTB then - Italian market only, where they downsized the V8 in the 308 to sub-2 litres for tax purposes. Either that or the much-maligned Mondial (I know we have an owner here in the sub).
And, fair enough! When it comes to Italian supercars I've only ever had the pleasure of driving a manual 355 (the owner wanted to compare it to my NA2) and it was at veeeeery low speeds (never crossed 80km/h).
autobauss@reddit
Pinafarina designed cars in the timeframe you mentioned, not Ferrari.
RiftHunter4@reddit
I need to roast this.
None of this means anything. We're talking about a digital "thing". It's just a rendering or 3d model, at most. Its not even something for a Racing Sim like the Grand Turismo Vision cars. Ferrari apparently decided that fake vents weren't enough and now is making fake cars and pretending they're real products.
I will be banned from entering Italy for saying this, but I barely consider Ferrari to be an enthusiast brand anymore. They're a car-themed lifestyle brand that peaked in high school. Their motorsports programs have been sub-par. They don't make anything with a manual. Their cars don't even look that good anymore. They are the most overhyped brand in the history of the automobile.
Lonely-Entry-7206@reddit
Thought it was another concept turns out worse an NFT.
OWeise@reddit
What a load of absolute wank Ferrari has turned into.
ALaLaLa98@reddit
Tunred into?
Please...this is perfectly on-brand for Ferrari.
8N-QTTRO@reddit
They used to make cars that won races.
Lonely-Entry-7206@reddit
You mean F1 championships.
ALaLaLa98@reddit
They still do.
stoned-autistic-dude@reddit
It went public and this is what they’re doing to appease their shareholders. Shareholders are a cancer on products because they just want more profit every quarter without exception, even if it means gutting the brand entirely to do it. So now you can get bullshit like this:
What’s better than selling zero product and making money? Imagine! Little to no overhead and your only product is an image.
Shareholders and private equity have fucked every product they have managed to get their grubby hands on.
Whole-Scene-689@reddit
Ferrari is such a zombie brand. I predict it's gone within 10 years
RadPhilosopher@reddit
Didn’t Lamborghini already have the first “digital” hypercar with the V12 Vision Gran Turismo?
LeBoredMemer@reddit
enzo ferrari rolling in his grave rn
FMecha@reddit
Isn't the Ferrari VGT the same premise, given their lore drop says it was mechanically based on the 499P? Granted that one was before they won Le Mans but still.
Thomas_633_Mk2@reddit (OP)
The Ferrari VGT isn't exclusive and/or on the block chain in the same way. I know BVLGARI did something similar with super unique versions of their VGT, but:
They actually came with a watch, albeit that the VGT was part of the stuff that came with the watch
You can use it in GT7 to flex on the poors in a very very popular game, this just gives you a picture
FMecha@reddit
In sense of being a virtual concept car, not the NFT/blockchain aspect, I admit.
Rynowash@reddit
I’ll sell you a picture of a new car that I designed. It’s really nice! Low, low price of 927,765.06. Per car. DM me your credit cards and or bank details. I’ll get one to you in about 2 weeks. Or so.

Look at that fucking thing! Wow. That's something.

“Generative design” is Ferraris way of saying this is AI slop.
TheDuckFarm@reddit
I’ll bet whoever buys won’t even drive it.
SharpMZ@reddit
Not even a car for a videogame like GT7 or Assetto Corsa, but a fucking NFT in the year 2025. At least give the assets to Kunos Sims so they can put this in AC:Evo.
bwoah_gimmethedrink@reddit
they are completely lost with the current design language
ALaLaLa98@reddit
Ignoring the absurdity of this whole thing...I'm pretty sure their claims are objectively not true.
I'm not going to waste any time proving that though.

Christ alive, this is the dumbest fucking shit I've ever seen. Imagine the fury of all the fucking Yanko Design student projects that could have been sold for 6.9 million a pop and never actually built.
The only part of the Ferrari tradition this is celebrating is the tradition of "speculative investing".

Another horrificly stupid looking super car. How the once mighty have fallen. Styling by blind robots on LSD.

They have been doing Vision GTs so this is nothing new. Yes I know it's for a different game but same concept

What about that Red Bull one in Gran Turismo from like 2010.
maxlax02@reddit
“…F76, the first car created exclusively for the digital world in the form of an NFT.”
You can’t be serious…Ferrari has completely lost the plot.
It’s also hilarious to me that the “first digital hypercar” is just an undrivable rendering of a (fuck ugly) car. When there are actual drivable digital versions of Ferraris in video games and racing sims.

The fuck? Ferrari doing paid AC mods?
