Ferrari Fiorano Concept

Created in 2005 at Turin-based IED by Giangiacomo Barbero and Hyun Ho, the Ferrari Fiorano Concept was one of the finalist projects in the "Ferrari - Concept of a Myth" Competition.

The Fiorano is inspired by Sport GT racing cars and by innovative aerodynamics concepts: one of the main goals of the project was to create a sportscar with a very high aerodynamic downforce.

It is powered by a V12 central engine, so it would be positioned above the F430 model lineup, being a virtual successor to the 1984 Testarossa.

The exterior body uses a design language that originates from various sources: stealth fighters, Comanche helicopters and ocean creatures like the hammerhead shark.
