That is the Competizione Ventidue: a hydrogen-fuelled, excessive efficiency, Ferrari restomod idea created by London-based design studio Forge Design. Proper now, it’s solely an idea, impressed partially by a little bit of artistic reimagining and various history-making. 

‘We wished to reimagine the automobile that Miles Davis may need purchased simply after his album dropped,’ says Kieran Singleton, Forge Design’s managing director. ‘He was an enormous Ferrari fan and liked driving quick in stunning automobiles; that is imagined because the automobile he purchased, loved, upgraded and maybe even raced.’

The automobile was a class-winner at Le Mans in 1961, serving to solidify the 250’s standing as the last word basic automobile funding (examples promote at public sale for upwards of $8m).

Maybe conscious of the hefty funding wanted to get its enterprise off the bottom, Forge Design has gone all-out for applied sciences that haven’t but hit the mainstream. These embody a hydrogen-burning engine and composite bodywork.

‘We’ve all the time liked the basic strains of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB, and after seeing a development within the variety of restomod tasks not too long ago, actually wished to have a go at our personal,’ says Forge’s design director David Seesing. The studio is utilizing the idea to advertise its abilities at conceptual design, rendering, and modelling. 

The Ventidue makes for a hanging calling card, but it surely’s not the one 250 GT SWB restomod on the market – British specialist producer RML can construct a bespoke ‘Quick Wheelbase’ proper now, for round £1.6m.
