Ferrari F76 - The first "Digital Hypercar"

[RACECAR]

"the first car created exclusively for the digital world in the form of an NFT"

And they lost me right then and there. Not even gonna try comprehending the design because it doesn't even matter at this point. Who on earth in 2025, where AI is the new hot thing currently, is still hungering for NFTs?

It's dumber than that:

The two... let's call them "nacelles", are entirely separate and I have no idea what's supposed to go in the middle section of it. Also each has its own steering wheel and pedals. I'd suspect some part of a battery pack could go in the rear section of both.

There's also a giant hole between them, which I guess also allows "airflow management" to the rear section, as you might have wondered from the renders and as revealed by this design sketch:

Never thought I'd see a twin boom tail on a car

Typical of Ferrari to start a ponzi scheme five years too late. They'll still manage to grift money from it though

And the weird thing is, they went with the one that has the most convoluted barrier-to-entry imaginable and one which has effectively NO value left.

I've never seen a canopy covering a split cabin design before.

Words escape me...

How did you make your view even worse lol?? They're not only visually very different but the philosophy is s quite clearly different too.

Slightly off topic , People complain about Ferraris current design but at least they're not becoming a generic design like the whole segment is becoming. They look quite different, as a result they may age well in a few years when we're use to the looks.

Sure, your opinion 😊

the F76 is one of the digital assets of the initiative created by the Maranello-based company to support the 499P competing at Le Mans and in the World Endurance Championship,

They’re being pretty honest that this NFT car only really exists to help fund their WEC team. So… I think that’s not a bad idea?

I mean honestly you can hate everything Ferrari does on the lifestyle/road car side of things. But they’re pretty clear it really all just exists so they can get dumb rich people to pay them so they can go keep racing cars. That’s always been how Ferrari operates.

Except its not an opinion, its very much a visually clear & objective fact that they aren't the same, period. Your claim that they are IS an opinion (and one I assume is based on you not liking anything that "looks like a spaceship", hence you ignoring fact very much like a politician does)

No problem with being honest (Its frankly appreciated in a world of the same copy paste PR speak and now AI generated slop, which is arguably worse), but why use something that has frankly plummeted to being worthless nowadays?

Facts change to suit the climate of the day. You know, "I think, therefore I am" 😉

Well, they're effectively giving it away to the people who have already paid whatever obscene amount of money it cost to join the Hyperclub*, so in a way it already did pay for that.

*I swear this name sounds like some dumb thing Elon Musk would come up with.
