Meet Ferrari’s F1 car of the future

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Ferrari's Formula One car of the future. No, this isn't the work of an ambitious fanboy with some serious Photoshop skills, but rather Maranello's own design department. It's bonkers, and it is brilliant.

The brief? To "come up with an F1 car that is technologically advanced, and captivating to the eye". Also, it has to look bloody terrifying. Mission, you will agree, accomplished.

It's the work of Ferrari's design studio, and though the team mentions it's been designed within the current technical parameters, the Scuderia has of course made a lot of noise recently about a complete revolution of the design of F1 cars. Including a proposed power output to 1000bhp. Or even more.

Couple that to the fatter Pirelli rubber and monster aero, and you've got quite a package on your hands. No word on what powertrain Ferrari's fictional monster might pack, but, given Maranello's aversion to removing cylinders, you can bet your life it's not a turbo four-pot.

"Our challenge was to create something that was - to put it short - better looking," says Ferrari. "We value your comments on that."

So do we...
