Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of design and performance perfection was on full display at the 2025 iF Design Awards, held today in Berlin. The Prancing Horse proudly took home two of the most coveted honors, as the Ferrari 12Cilindri and 12Cilindri Spider were the only cars to receive the prestigious Gold Award — one of just 75 awarded globally across over 10,500 entries.
The international jury praised the cars for their “ingenious use of graphic elements that wrap the 3D surfaces” and a design that manages to be “both exciting and reassuring.” Reflecting Ferrari’s rich heritage while pushing forward into the future, the 12Cilindri models blend references to iconic 1950s and ‘60s Grand Tourers with cutting-edge aerodynamics and sleek, modern execution.
Ferrari’s celebration didn’t end there. The new Ferrari F80 also received an iF Design Award, cementing the marque’s reputation for peerless innovation and aesthetic mastery. Under the guidance of Flavio Manzoni, the Ferrari Design Centre continues to create models that perfectly balance form and function, ensuring that every Ferrari is as beautiful as it is thrilling to drive.
Founded in 1953, the iF Design Award is considered one of the most important design competitions in the world, and this year saw entries from nearly 70 countries. To win a Gold Award amid such fierce competition is a testament to Ferrari’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
