Ferrari has officially unveiled its latest unique car model, named the CZ-26, at an event in Monterey. This one-off example is the result of the Special Projects programme, in which bespoke vehicles are developed to specific customer requirements.
The CZ-26 model was developed in collaboration with a customer from the United States and the Ferrari design studio, which led the project under Flavio Manzon. The technical basis of the vehicle is the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, and the CZ-26 retains its technical specifications, meaning that performance and mechanics are aligned with the original model.
The aim of creating the CZ-26 was to shape a car with a recognisable character through strict lines and pure form, combining a technological approach with a modern design language. The stylistic concept of the vehicle is defined by horizontal lines and a silhouette with two clearly expressed volumes, while the central capsule-shaped cabin sits on four prominent elements positioned above the wheels.
The front of the car features a functional grille that spans the full width, into which hidden lighting elements, a brake air intake, and sensors are integrated. The rear is characterised by a chopped tail, 'floating' light clusters, and a prominent diffuser, further emphasising the dynamism and modernity of the design.
Aesthetically, the CZ-26 design draws on Italian industrial design from the 1970s, but interprets it through a contemporary perspective, achieving a blend of tradition and innovation in a unique automobile.
