Milan,
April 8, 2025 – The Ferrari 12Cilindri has been awarded the prestigious Car
Design Award, a coveted recognition in the automotive design sector. The award
ceremony, attended by Flavio Manzoni (Ferrari Chief Design Officer)
representing the Prancing Horse, took place today in Milan at the ADI Design
Museum during the Milan Design Week.
The
Car Design Award was established in 1984 and is aimed at projects that have
significantly contributed to the evolution of automotive design. The winners of
the Car Design Award have always been selected by a jury of experts,
representatives of the most prestigious automotive publications at
international level.
Five
Ferraris have received awards in the Production Cars category since 1984: the
first was the Testarossa in 1985, followed by the Ferrari Roma in 2020, the 296
GTB in 2022, and the Ferrari Purosangue in 2023. The Prancing Horse Design team
won the prestigious award in the same year in the Brand Design Language
category.
The
ADI jurors chose the 12Cilindri because “the design of the 12Cilindri
encapsulates the historical essence of the Ferrari V12s of the Fifties and
Sixties, revisited and taking into account the aerodynamic requirements that
today are a science and no longer just an intuition. An indissoluble link with
tradition that looks to the future and has led this project to unite two souls,
sportiness and elegance, to create an out-of-the-box icon.”
FERRARI
12CILINDRI
The
Ferrari 12Cilindri is inspired by the Ferrari Gran Turismo cars of the 1950s
and ‘60s and fully embodies the mission of the front-engine, two-seater Ferrari
V12s in a blend of elegance, versatility, and performance. It represents the
latest evolution of this lineage, passing on a unique heritage and elevating it
to new standards of performance, comfort, and design. The shapes express
sportiness, class, and sobriety: simple and harmonious lines integrate
innovations such as integrated active aerodynamics to ensure unparalleled
performance, the reverse-opening bonnet that enhances the engine compartment,
and the twin pair of exhaust pipes typical of Ferrari 12-cylinders.
