Ferrari F76 Concept Redefines Driving with Dual Steering Innovation

Shared Velocity - The world of automotive design is entering a new era — one where imagination meets digital innovation and the boundaries of what a car can be are redrawn. Ferrari, a brand long celebrated for turning passion into performance, has stepped boldly into this space with the unveiling of the F76 Concept. More than just a design experiment, the F76 is a vision of what driving might look like in the decades ahead, when emotion, technology, and artistry merge seamlessly into one experience.

Created under the direction of Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari’s chief designer, the F76 exists entirely in the digital realm. It’s a “design manifesto,” as Manzoni describes it — not meant for production, but to explore and define the future forms of Ferrari vehicles. Its name, F76, honors Ferrari’s first victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1949, tying the company’s proud racing legacy to a bold, forward-looking concept. In doing so, the F76 becomes a bridge between Ferrari’s glorious past and its technological future.

At first glance, the F76 feels unmistakably Ferrari — muscular, elegant, and aerodynamic — yet its design is far from traditional. The car’s body features squared wheel arches and a floating front splitter, details that recall the spirit of the F80 hypercar while pushing its lines toward something almost sculptural. The structure consists of two separate fuselages, one for each driver, shaped to optimize airflow and redefine interior space. Ferrari calls this a “form-follows-function” philosophy, proving that every design decision serves both purpose and beauty.

Perhaps the most radical aspect of the F76 is its two steering wheels, enabled by advanced drive-by-wire technology that replaces mechanical linkages with electronic control systems. This innovation allows both drivers to steer, accelerate, and brake in perfect synchronization, sharing the sensations of speed and precision in real time. Ferrari describes it as a new way to experience driving — not as a solo act, but as a shared emotion. It’s a futuristic idea that challenges the traditional bond between car and driver, opening the door to new interpretations of performance and connection.

Despite being a purely digital creation, the F76 includes details that hint at real-world possibilities. Retractable headlights, reminiscent of the legendary F40, make a nostalgic return, while tail-lights integrated into the massive rear wing demonstrate how design and aerodynamics can work as one. These touches suggest that while the F76 may never hit the road, elements of its design language could inspire Ferrari’s upcoming generation of vehicles — including its much-anticipated first electric model. | kHMAIrCHAeM |

In the grand narrative of Ferrari’s evolution, the F76 is more than a concept; it’s a statement. It reminds the world that innovation doesn’t mean losing touch with identity, but rather deepening it. Through its blend of digital artistry, aerodynamic ingenuity, and emotional storytelling, the F76 shows that the spirit of Ferrari — that timeless mix of performance, beauty, and passion — can thrive even in a future defined by electrons and imagination. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FERRARI | AUTOCAR | AUTOCAR IN X | TOPGEAR | CARSCOOPS ]
