Ferrari just dropped something that isn’t a car you can drive, touch, or even park in your garage, but it might just be one of the most important Ferraris ever made. Meet the Ferrari F76 – the brand’s first-ever car built exclusively for the digital world, unveiled right on the heels of their third consecutive Le Mans victory. Yeah, this one’s different.
The name “F76” isn’t random either. It’s a tribute to Ferrari’s first-ever Le Mans win 76 years ago, in 1949, with Luigi Chinetti and Lord Selsdon in the 166 MM Barchetta. Fast forward to 2025, and Ferrari’s celebrating that legacy by going full-on digital, creating a car that exists only as an NFT.
The Digital Prancing Horse
This isn’t a car you’ll ever see on a track or in a showroom. It’s part of Ferrari’s new Hyperclub programme, a super-exclusive digital ecosystem for the brand’s top-tier clients and supporters of the 499P Le Mans program. Think of it like Ferrari’s version of a members-only metaverse, but dripping with heritage, generative design, and algorithmic art.
The F76 is being called a “design manifesto” by the team led by Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari’s design boss. In plain English: it’s Ferrari’s way of showing off what the future of their cars could look like and not just in terms of styling, but in how they’re conceptualized, engineered, and even personalized.

Design From Another Dimension
Visually, the F76 is a mix of science fiction and computational art. It’s built around a double-fuselage design that channels air through a central tunnel, literally turning the entire body into a functional wing. The aerodynamics are digitally perfected through generative algorithms and biomimetic design, meaning it draws cues from nature and architecture rather than pure race-car styling.
Up front, you get a floating splitter and retractable headlights — a nod to the ’70s and ’80s Ferraris, but reimagined for the digital era. Out back, four taillights are integrated into the upper wing, framing what Ferrari calls a “conceptual portal” — basically a gateway to the brand’s future design language.

NFTs, But Make It Ferrari
Inside (yes, even digital cars have interiors now), the F76 is all about shared emotion. It features two independent cockpits, each with drive-by-wire controls, meaning both driver and passenger can experience every steering, braking, and acceleration input simultaneously. It’s less about who’s in control and more about sharing the same pulse of performance, in real time.
Each F76 NFT is especially crafted. Hyperclub members could personalize their digital car through exclusive design drops over three years, making every unit unique. This wasn’t just about ownership; it was about co-creation, letting clients actually shape a piece of Ferrari’s design evolution.
So while the F76 might never see a racetrack or roll on asphalt, its impact is real. It’s a testbed for Ferrari’s digital future, where algorithmic creativity meets old-school passion.
The Ferrari F76 is the brand’s first fully digital car; designed by algorithms, inspired by Le Mans, and built for the metaverse. It’s not about driving; it’s about defining what Ferrari looks like when the laws of physics don’t apply.
