Apt for a billionaire’s living room, Ferrari turns V10 engines, hybrid V12s, and race‑worn F1 pistons into modern art at Milan Design Week


At Milan Design Week 2025, Ferrari isn’t just showcasing cars—it’s unveiling its soul. In a bold move that fuses motorsport legacy with design-forward thinking, the legendary marque has introduced Ferrari Collectibles: Symbols of a Legacy, a limited collection of race-worn components transformed into sculptural works of art. This isn’t about horsepower or lap times—it’s about emotion, memory, and the beauty of engineering in its purest form.


Each collectible is a genuine piece of Ferrari’s rich racing heritage. From pistons that once fired beneath Michael Schumacher in the dominant F2002, to the crankshaft that powered Fernando Alonso’s debut victory in the Ferrari F10, these are objects with stories to tell. There’s even a prototype V12 engine from the development of the LaFerrari—the brand’s first hybrid hypercar—fusing electric innovation with raw combustion energy. Presented not as parts, but as icons, these components bridge the worlds of high-performance engineering and high design.

What makes this collection so captivating is its visual simplicity. Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari’s Chief Design Officer, approached the project with the same mindset he applies to crafting supercars: subtracting the unnecessary to reveal only the essential. The result is minimalist, almost architectural.


Components are suspended in transparent materials, creating a sense of lightness and reverence. They feel less like industrial parts and more like relics from a modern temple of speed.


Housed within the Ferrari Boutique on Via Giovanni Berchet 2—an elegant corner of Milan’s design district—the exhibition feels right at home amid the creativity of design week. It’s a natural setting for Ferrari’s transformation from automotive titan to lifestyle tastemaker. This isn’t about selling cars. It’s about inviting people into the Ferrari mindset: one that celebrates craftsmanship, emotion, and relentless pursuit of perfection.

For those with an eye for the exceptional, this collection represents something rare. It’s a tangible link to moments of victory and innovation, reimagined through the lens of beauty. Whether you’re a design lover, a motorsport romantic, or someone who simply appreciates things done exceptionally well, these collectibles offer more than ownership—they offer presence.
