Ferrari Modulo Revival | Car Design

Many would simply fling their eyebrows high when told that the original Ferrari 512 S Module by Pinninfarina was actually unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Auto Show. And now after 40 years, the modernistic version of this already futuristic car is back to tickle our sci-fi senses albeit in a more sustainable manner. Though strictly at a conceptual stage, this remarkably avant-garde conception was contrived by a design team of Emmanuel Laffon de Mazieres and Bastien Petelot.

Infused with a sleek demeanor, classy bearing and a fervently innovative technology, the Ferrari Modulo of the 21st Century will certainly be a supercar to behold. The inconspicuous wheels will be ’sunk in’ within the body frame like the original design; supposedly, for enhancement of rolling efficiency and airflow. On the other hand, the improved (if we daresay that) styling is quite evident from the roof of this version, which completely incorporates a swanky glass facade (in comparison to the original 70’s model). The linearity of the astute form along the measured edges have been specifically dealt with to accentuate upon the aerodynamic quality of the car.

According to the designer:

“Everything on this car is designed around aerodynamism and reduced rolling resistance. The extremely low profile, the controlled airflow, the sharp back-end edge help reduce drag and improve performance.”

Now coming to the part that interests us Ecofriend folks, the fascinating supercar will actually flaunt an all-electric engine that alludes to the very low emission side of affairs. So, if we ever get a chance to roll around the city blocks in this ultra-futuristic green monster, we would gleefully accept it with our bowing heads.

Ferarri Eternita | Car Design

Ferrari launched a contest in which it was seeking car designs that would have optimum fuel efficiency as well as performance. The winning entry was by a group of South Korean students from Hongik University, Seoul, that came out with the concept of a hydrogen hybrid vehicle called ‘Ferrari Eternita’.

The three designers – Kim Cheon Ju, Lee Sahnseok and Ahn Dre created a formidable design that topped amongst the 400 entries to the competition. This futuristic car is low-lying and almost touches the ground with its rear wheels incorporated into the main body of the car in order to lessen drag. The Eternita is powered by a sustainable hydrogen-hybrid engine that would make this swanky sports car a low emission vehicle!

Earlier, Porsche also came out with its hybrid car models and Ferrari also seems to be keen to create a sustainable vehicle that is eco friendly in nature. Eternita is not yet slated to be rolled out next by Ferrari – however, the stylish design and name of the car surely sound “Ferrari-isque”! However, car enthusiasts would surely await this one should Ferrari decide to go ‘green’ and initiate production of the clean Eternita.

Ferrari Xezri Concept Car by Samir Sadikhov

Ferrari Xezri Concept Car by Samir Sadikhov: Cars with latest modern designs lure today’s car enthusiasts. The premier car makers are in competition with each other to bring fresh and new ideas which are then incorporated while designing the cars. That’s why world’s top car making giants are looking for talents who can come up with innovative and fresh ideas. Ferrari, a car manufacturer, has introduced three new talented car designers to the world who have finished three year post-diploma course in transportation design in the academic year 2010-2011 from Design School of Turin IED. The final year projects which were done by these talented students were reviewed by Ferrari minutely before rewarding them for their works. Samir Sadikov, a resident of Azerbaijan, who has designed Ferrari Xezri on the principles of “Flexible aerodynamics” won the second prize.

This newly designed sports car has been built keeping the flow and dynamics of wind in mind. The specialty of this design is that the rear wing of the car which is placed horizontally on the roof activates automatically and absorbs wind from outside to cool the engine when the car achieves a super speed of 200km/hr and higher.

This prize is the second win for Turin IED which has previously won first position in the same contest in 2005. Seeing the car which is designed after principles of flexible aerodynamics by Samir, zipping through the deserted flyovers with ease like red fire in great speed, the CEOs of Ferrari Amedeo Felisa, Paolo Pininfarina and Flavia Manzoni are all praise for it. They even say that the design of this new car reminds them of designs of some old Ferrari.

This new car design along with two other award winning projects i.e. 540 Pegaso and Ethesian by fellow students Giuseppe Ceccio, Giacomo Pierine Matteo politano and Alessandro Nardolillo will be displayed at an exhibiton at their school’s headquarters until the end of September.
