Renowned Ferrari designer Giorgetto Giugiaro expressed his thoughts on the creation of the Ferrari GG50, a car crafted to commemorate fifty years of his remarkable contributions to the world of supercars. He mentioned, “To mark 50 years of activity in the world of car design, I decided to sculpt a Ferrari in memory of that great adventure and enjoy it with my family.”
The Ferrari F1 GG50 is a specially modified vehicle, incorporating Formula 1 inspired specifications aimed at enhancing performance. It is equipped with a V12 naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 540 horsepower and features a sequential automatic transmission.
Based on the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, the GG50 retains most of the fundamental mechanics but is notably shorter in length.
Giorgetto Giugiaro, a celebrated figure in the automotive industry, has been honored with the title of “Car Designer of the Century” and is an inductee of the esteemed Automotive Hall of Fame, achieving this recognition at the age of 64 while still actively shaping the industry.
Throughout his illustrious career, Giugiaro has been attributed to iconic designs such as the BMW M1, De Tomaso Mangusta, DeLorean DMC-12, Iso Grifo, Maserati Ghibli, among others.
