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.
