The F12berlinetta, a successor to a long line of legendary V12-powered models from Ferrari, including the 599 GTB Fiorano, 575M Maranello, 550 Maranello, Testarossa and BB, just to mention a few, has only been in the market for a little over a year , but we’re pretty sure that the Italians are already working on its replacement.
They’re not the only ones, as aspiring designer Dejan Hristov found some time to visualize his idea of what Ferrari’s next V12 two-seater should look like.
You can read Dejan’s thought process behind the creation of the F12berlinetta’s successor, which he named CascoRosso, in the description below, but we’ll tell you that he drew his inspiration from the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO and that he imagined the car to feature a V12 hybrid powertrain.
Thanks to Dejan for the pics!
From Dejan Hristov:
“The Ferrari CascoRosso is a two seater commercial car, which is inspired from the models of Ferrari Motor Sport as they developed through history. It is a symbiotic of style from the modern Ferrari bodies and the legendary Ferrari classics. One of those classics is the Ferrari 250 GTO from witch I got the main inspiration for this model. The idea was for the CascoRosso to be reincarnation of the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, a modern, futuristic version of it.
Next year, Ferrari is celebrating 50 years since the birth of the 250 GTO, the world’s most expensive car. I imagined the model as a successor to the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta with front engine, but also as a hybrid with battery placement behind the cabin, that enables better distribution of the weight.
Instead of wing-mirrors, the model has two cameras with wide focus range generating one picture on the camera display showing side view mirror picture and rear view mirror picture. This system simplifies the driving giving better clarity, improves the aerodynamics because there aren’t wing-mirrors and the cameras are integrated in the car-body and there is no need for rear window.
The front lights are hidden behind a shutter which opens automatically when the light are turned on.
The doors are imagined to open in attractive way and you don’t need much space to open them. When opening, one part of the door enters the body of the car and that is one of the characteristics of this design that makes it unique.”
