    Salon Privé and the Royal College of Arts have announced the results of the ‘Concours of the Future’ design competition. The first three winners are Francesco Binaggia, Jiyeong Park and Jannis Carius.

    Below is the design of the 2nd place which belongs to Jiyeong Park. It pays homage to the great 1967 Ferrari 330 P4. It looks quite nice, it refers to P4/5 by Pininfarina too.

    ''Vera chose to redesign the 1967 Ferrari 330 P4, one of the most beautiful formative cars in the world.

    In 2006 the P4 was successfully redesigned by Pininfarina for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elégance, so she imagined a 3rd version of the Ferrari 330 P4 will be made 39 years after the 2006 car, debuting at the ‘2045 Salon Privé’ in London.
    The designer thought that in 2045 a trend will arise that people will want to feel directly the essence of everything due to too much development of scientific technology and the lack of expression through minimalism. Therefore, Ferrari P2045’s main concept is ‘Maximise the Quiddity’. The philosophical word ‘Quiddity’ means the ‘essence of an object.’

    In order to move this concept into a car, she wanted to express the essence of power by design, so she designed exposed circuits which can visualise the energy flow. It is an expression of performance and a striking design element at the same time. She also expressed this concept by the use of natural feeling textures.

    In terms of redesigning Ferrari 330 P4, she tried to make a strong character line from the front fin to the rear fin, because she thought the most interesting design element of the original Ferrari 330 P4 is the fins.

    It not only plays a role in creating down-force, it makes a unique and distinctive character line. Therefore, she emphasized the sharply angled character lines of these fins, and expressed the depth which can be felt from the Ferrari 330 P4.

    Well in my opinion it's a great homage BUT it is too futuristic to be classic plus the fact that involving ELECTRICITY (batteries etc) isn't the best thing to keep something in classic ''idea''. It would interesting though to read the opinion of JG because he knows better that no one else how to pay tribute to something precious like P cars.
