Maranello,
4 June 2025 – Ferrari
has been honoured with the highest design award from the German Red Dot
Award association. The F80, Ferrari 12Cilindri, and Ferrari 12Cilindri
Spider all received the Red Dot: Best of the Best in the Product
Design category.
The
Red Dot Award, a leading industrial design award, honours innovation and
excellence in the industry. Celebrating its 71st year, the awards ceremony will
be held on 8 July 2025 in Essen, Germany.
Over
the past 11 years Ferrari has won 32 Red Dot Awards: no other car
manufacturer has achieved comparable results since the award was inaugurated in
1955. Since 2015, the jury has awarded Ferrari no fewer than 13 Red Dot:
Best of the Best prizes.
The
awards highlight the exceptional work of the Ferrari Styling Centre led by
Flavio Manzoni, which focuses on creating innovative cars that continue
Ferrari's legacy and represent the ideal balance between form and function.

12CILINDRI
FERRARI
12CILINDRI SPIDER
The
Ferrari 12Cilindri and the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider are inspired by Ferrari
Grand Tourers of the 50s and 60s and fully embody the mission of the
front-engine V12 two-seater Ferrari in a blend of elegance, versatility, and
performance. They represent 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 front-hinged clamshell bonnet that
enhances the engine compartment, and classic design cues, like the twin pair of
exhaust pipes typical of Ferrari 12Cilindri. In the case of the Ferrari 12Cilindri
Spider, the much-appreciated retractable hardtop (RHT) allows the car to switch
to open-air configuration in just 14 seconds, even while driving at speeds up
to 45 km/h.
F80
The
F80 is Maranello's sixth supercar. The carbon-fibre chassis houses a hybrid
power unit that delivers 1200 cv, 900 of which come from the 499P-derived V6
engine, that took two consecutive Le Mans 24 Hours victories in 2023 and 2024.
The three-litre V6, internally known as F163CF, boosts the specific power
output level to 300 cv/l. The remaining 300 cv are produced by the 800 V hybrid
system with an electric front axle (e-4WD) and a rear electric motor (MGU-K).
The technological transfer from Formula 1 introduces e-turbos (MGU-H), which
generate power from the excess kinetic energy from the rotation of the turbines
and eliminates turbo lag. Designed for maximum performance, the car produces
1050 kg downforce at 250 km/h. At the rear is an active wing which adjusts
continuously both for height and incidence. The active suspension, whose upper
arms are made using 3D metal additive manufacturing technology, dramatically
improves the handling especially on the track. The Boost Optimisation records
the track and provides an extra power boost in the areas needed to reduce lap
times. The ‘1+’ cockpit is asymmetrical: its single-seater effect is geared
towards driver comfort, even though the F80 is homologated for two people. The
F80 is limited to 799 units and will be produced until 2027, the year the
company celebrates its 80th anniversary.
