The Red Dot Award, a leading industrial design award, honours innovation and excellence in the industry. Celebrating its 72nd<\/sup> year, the awards ceremony will be held on 07 July 2026 in Essen, Germany. Over the past 12 years Ferrari has won 35 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 for the following cars: FXX-K, 488 GTB, Ferrari J50, Ferrari Portofino, Ferrari Monza SP1, SF90 Stradale, Ferrari Daytona SP3, Ferrari Purosangue, Vision GT, Ferrari Roma Spider, Ferrari 12Cilindri & 12Cilindri Spider, F80, Ferrari SC40.<\/p> This breadth of recognition underscores the consistency of Ferrari\u2019s design language and the strength of the work carried out by the Ferrari Design Studio in balancing innovation, heritage and functional clarity across markedly different product expressions. This year\u2019s Best of the Best award also highlights the exclusivity and extraordinary value of the Special Projects programme, which enables a select group of clients to create the One-Off Ferrari of their dreams through an ongoing dialogue with Maranello\u2019s designers and aerodynamicists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The styling buck of the car is currently exhibited at the Museo Ferrari in Maranello, offering visitors a direct view of the project at full scale and an insight into how the car\u2019s proportions and surfaces were developed before production. Displayed as a key milestone in the design process, the buck highlights the defining volumes and graphic elements that shape the model\u2019s identity and provides a tangible link between the initial design phase and the finished One-Off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FERRARI SC40<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ferrari SC40 is a new One-Off from Ferrari\u2019s Special Projects programme, created as a unique, tailor-made car for a single client and developed by the Ferrari Design Studio under the direction of Flavio Manzoni. Conceived as a pure, uncompromising berlinetta, it is a mid-rear-engined V6 that derives its architecture, chassis and powertrain from the 296 GTB, while adopting an entirely new design that pays tribute to the legendary F40 without being its literal reinterpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its theme draws inspiration from industrial design, combining precise geometries with muscular, squared volumes, and is defined by proportions such as a long, low nose, a short rear overhang and a high fixed rear wing finished in the bespoke\u00a0Bianco SC40. Inside, the extensive use of reinterpreted carbon-Kevlar material alongside technical fabrics and Alcantara\u00ae reinforces the link to the F40 ethos, while the hybrid powertrain delivers a combined 830 cv and enables 0\u2013100 km\/h in 2.9 s and a top speed of over 330 km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SPECIAL PROJECTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Special Projects programme is aimed at creating unique Ferraris (so-called \u201cOne-Offs\u201d) characterised by an exclusive design crafted to the requirements of the client, who thus becomes the owner of a one-of-a-kind model. Each project originates from an idea put forward by the client and is developed hand-in-glove with a team of designers from Ferrari\u2019s Styling Centre. Once the car\u2019s proportion and forms have been defined, detailed design blueprints and a styling buck are produced before the manufacturing process for the new One-Off begins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The entire process takes around two years on average, during which time the client is closely involved in assessing the design and verification phases. The result? A unique Ferrari <\/a>sporting the Prancing Horse logo and engineered to the same standards of excellence that characterise all of Maranello\u2019s cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1LI_AES_10_Promo.jpg\")
