The 250 GTO’s 50th anniversary has already passed, but its legacy still influences the design of Ferrari's modern cars. One such example is the CascoRosso, a concept car created by designer Dejan Hristov. The CascoRosso is a modern reinterpretation of the 250 GTO, combining classic Ferrari elements with futuristic technology and design. This concept car is a glimpse into what a contemporary Ferrari might look like while honoring the iconic design of the past.

At the heart of the CascoRosso’s design is a rear-wheel-drive, front-engine configuration inspired by the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. The hybrid engine, with its battery placed behind the cabin, allows for optimal weight distribution, ensuring a well-balanced driving experience. This hybrid setup not only improves performance but also showcases Ferrari’s commitment to embracing new technologies in its vehicles.

Visually, the CascoRosso is a striking blend of luxury and innovation. Its gullwing doors open upwards, giving the car a sense of elegance and exclusivity. The headlights, cleverly hidden behind air grilles, add a futuristic touch, and they automatically reveal themselves when turned on, further enhancing the car’s sleek appearance. This attention to detail demonstrates the level of craftsmanship Ferrari is known for.

The technology in the CascoRosso is equally impressive. Instead of traditional side mirrors, the car features two cameras that provide a wide field of view, displayed on a monitor inside the car. This not only improves aerodynamics by eliminating the need for bulky side mirrors but also offers drivers clearer and more reliable visibility of their surroundings, enhancing both safety and convenience.
