Maranello, 21 April, 2026 - On the occasion of Milan Design Week, Ferrari Hypersail reveals the livery of

its 100-foot flying ocean monohull: innovation, aerodynamics and design research define a new

frontier in ocean sailing. Born from a creative process in which the aesthetic language of the Maranello-

based company meets the most advanced offshore sailing technology, the project highlights the

increasingly deep connection between design, innovation and performance.

Ferrari Hypersail was conceived as an open innovation platform, where diverse expertise merges into

a collective process to redefine the boundaries of what is possible and achieve a synthesis of

engineering and style: that of the Ferrari Tech Team, guided by Matteo Lanzavecchia and Marco

Guglielmo Ribigini, the Ferrari Design Studio led by Flavio Manzoni, and naval architect Guillaume

Verdier.

The goal is to transfer into the nautical world the same design and aesthetic spirit that makes Ferrari

cars unique: a constant drive toward innovation without ever losing the essence of form.

Performance-driven design

In Hypersail, design is never merely aesthetic, but a direct consequence of function:

every volume originates from the interaction between wind, water and speed.

As an offshore ocean vessel, aesthetic choices have, from the very beginning, developed within strict boundaries

defined by precise aerodynamic and engineering constraints. Performance sets the rules, design transforms them into

beauty.

The Ferrari Design Studio, led by Flavio Manzoni, worked in close synergy with Ferrari’s engineering

team and naval architect Verdier to translate aerodynamic, hydrodynamic and structural constraints

into aesthetic opportunities.

The streamlined silhouette evokes the purity of proportions

of the Ferrari Monza SP1/SP2, while the exterior of the coachroof on deck recalls the graphics architecture

of the Le Mans-winning Hypercar 499P. The surfaces of the deck and the coachroof itself, developed

directly by the Ferrari Design Studio, were designed to ensure maximum technical efficiency, as in

the development of every car designed by the Prancing Horse.

Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari Chief Design Officer, commented: “Hypersail represented an unexpected

opportunity for the Ferrari Design Studio; a challenging objective due to its complexity, which allowed

• 

• 

ot new to this kind of endeavour. In the past, the experience gained in racing car projects,

one of the most technologically advanced sectors, has encouraged exploration into more complex

fields, allowing us to test ourselves and expand our expertise.”

A significant example is the solar panels, integrated the deck and hull sides. Their positioning was

determined through an advanced study of the solar exposure Hypersail will experience during

navigation. The panels are walkable and feature a specific grip; they have been integrated with

technical fastening systems, clips and dedicated treatments, ensuring maximum freedom of

movement for the crew.

“Hypersail is a vessel unique in scale and technology, engineered to deliver peak performance within

an environment as singular and unpredictable as the ocean. This is achieved through its core concept:

foiling, made possible by a sophisticated control system, leveraging the expertise gained from our

automotive developments, and powered by energy recovered from renewable sources such as wind,

solar, and motion,” explains Matteo Lanzavecchia, Head of Vehicle Engineering at Ferrari and Chief

Technology Officer of Hypersail. “The strategic choice of a monohull arises from the synergy between

maximum hydrodynamic and aerodynamic efficiency. Throughout every design phase, the

collaboration with the Design Studio allowed us to accentuate and refine Hypersail’s forms and

features, establishing it as a definitive benchmark of design and innovation.”

The livery: Giallo, Ferrari’s second soul

In developing the vessel’s livery, the Ferrari Design Studio

sought to bridge Hypersail’s vanguard design with the brand’s aesthetic heritage.

The chosen chromatic response is the Giallo Fly, a shade of yellow steeped in narrative legacy. Giallo

has historically represented Ferrari’s “second soul.” Originally inspired by an intuition from Fiamma

Breschi, friend of Enzo Ferrari and widow of driver Luigi Musso, famous for his yellow helmet, Giallo

Fly first appeared on the 275 GTB. In the context of Hypersail, the Giallo Fly with the name "Fly" creates

a seamless linguistic link with the vessel’s foiling nature.

The primary material of the hull is carbon fiber: its grey tone, in a new variant named Grigio Hypersail,

defines the livery, serving not only as an aesthetic choice but also as tangible expression of the

material’s inherent lightness and performance.

In this innovative project, the interplay between Grigio Hypersail and the iconic Giallo Fly creates an

aesthetic that is both cohesive and functional. Applied to the cabin, foils and hull lines, the yellow evokes

the stylistic codes of the most celebrated Ferrari cars, strongly expressing the brand’s DNA and

echoing the distinct color separation of the 512 BB, the first “integrated” livery.

From the hull to the Ferrari logo on the sail, introduced to ensure continuity with a distinctive visual

presence of the elongated “F” seen in recent years (the wing of the 2023/2024 F1 car, Lifestyle, the

Daytona SP3 donated for the charity auction in Pebble Beach), to details inspired by LaFerrari and the

lines of the F80, Hypersail defines a new paradigm between design and function in offshore sailing.

The exhibition at the Ferrari Flagship Store and the lighthouse-installation

During Design Week, from April 22 to 26, the Hypersail project will be showcased through a dedicated

exhibition path within the Ferrari Flagship Store in Milan. Embodying the pillars of design, innovation,

and performance, the project also features the Hypersail lighthouse-installation, an exclusive sculpture

by the Ferrari Design Studio on the HIGHLINE Milano main terrace overlooking Piazza del Duomo. This

iconic symbol positions Hypersail as a new symbol of inspiration for the future of technology and

performance in offshore sailing.
