In particular, the Ferrari 12 Chillindry, which is equipped with Ferrari's iconic natural inhaler V12 engine, is noteworthy in that it won its third design award this year after the "2025 Car Design Award" and the "IF Design Gold Award."
Over the past 11 years, Ferrari has won a total of 32 awards at the Red Dot Awards. This is a record that no car brand has achieved since 1955 when the Red Dot Awards began. Ferrari, in particular, has won the Best of the Best 13 times since 2015.
Meanwhile, the Red Dot Awards, one of the world's top three design awards, was created to honor the innovation and excellence of industrial design works. The Red Dot Awards ceremony, which marks its 71st anniversary this year, will be held on July 8 in Essen, Germany.
Inspired by the legendary grand tourer of the 1950s and 60s, the Ferrari 12 Chillindry and 12 Chillindry Spider reinterpreted the elegance, comfort and performance unique to the two-seater model with the V12 front engine. Both vehicles inherit Ferrari's unique heritage while also setting new standards in terms of performance, comfort and design.
The 12 Chillindry features sophisticated technologies such as an active aerodynamic unit harmoniously integrated into the entire line of the vehicle for both sportiness, dignity and moderation and unrivaled performance, a front hinge bonnet that makes the engine room stand out even more, and a twin tailpipe, the symbol of a 12-cylinder Ferrari. The 12 Chillindry Spider is equipped with Ferrari's much-loved folding hardtop (RHT), which can open and close 45km/h in just 14 seconds even while driving.
The F80 is Ferrari's sixth supercar. The carbon fiber chassis has a built-in hybrid power unit that exerts up to 1,200 horsepower. Of these, 900 horsepower comes from the 499P-based V6 engine, which has won two consecutive races in the Le Mans 24:00 in 2023 and 2024. The 3.0-liter V6 engine, codenamed F163CF, has an output of 300 horsepower per liter. In addition, the electric front axle (e-4WD) and rear motor (MGU-K) of the 800-volt hybrid system create an additional 300 horsepower. The technology transferred from F1, e-turbo (thermal energy recovery unit, MGU-H), effectively suppresses turbo racks by generating power from excess kinetic energy generated by the rotation of the turbine.
Developed for the highest level of performance, the F80 generates 1,050kg of downforce at 250km/h. The active wing located at the rear controls the height and angle continuously. The upper arm of the active suspension is manufactured with 3D printing and additive manufacturing technology, which significantly improves handling performance, especially when driving on a track. The Boost Optimization feature records the shape of the track on which the vehicle is driving with the aim of reducing lap time and provides additional power boost to the most needed sections of the circuit. The F80 is certified as a two-seater vehicle, but the asymmetric 1+ cockpit is designed with the comfort of the driver as a top priority, reminiscent of a single sitter. By 2027, when Ferrari celebrates its 80th anniversary, only 799 units of the F80 will be produced.
