# Winding Wind-Cutting Cars This Ferrari Concept Car is Built for Track Racing By Jonathon Brown | Published 2013-02-16 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ferrari-concept-car References: [supercharged.fr](http://supercharged.fr/2013/02/ferrari-xezri-competizione-concept.html) & [samirsadikhov](http://www.samirsadikhov.com/104145/981700/portfolio/xezri-competizione) This [Ferrari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-12cilindri) concept car is an original design by Samir Sadikhov, with an added Competizione Edition treatment that makes it a racetrack only sports car. The original Xerzi design took second place at the 2011 Ferrari World Design Contest. The Competizione Edition treatment takes the original design and morphs it into a [race ready concept car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coyote-utopia). The redesigned features make the car more aerodynamic and sleek. The rounded windshield is a front design that allows air to slide up and over the car as it drives, reducing drag. Other design features include a larger front splitter, fender vents and side skirts. The roof also extends almost to the back of the car, which gives it a long and low frame. This version of the Xerzi Ferrari concept car also has different wheels. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aerodynamic Design:** The Competizione Edition treatment of the Ferrari concept car emphasizes a more aerodynamic and sleek design, which presents opportunities for innovative airflow and drag reduction technologies. - **Track-ready Sports Cars:** The racetrack-only sports car concept by Ferrari opens up possibilities for developing high-performance vehicles specifically designed for track racing and optimized for speed and agility. - **Redesigned Concept Cars:** The modifications made to the Xerzi Ferrari concept car showcase the potential for reimagining and enhancing existing car designs, paving the way for revolutionary automotive concepts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The advancements in aerodynamic design and track-ready sports cars create opportunities for disruptive innovation within the automotive industry, driving advancements in performance and efficiency. - **Motorsports:** The development of specialized race-ready concept cars presents the motorsports industry with opportunities to push the boundaries of speed, agility, and performance, leading to breakthroughs in racing technology. - **Automotive Design:** The redesigned concept car by Ferrari demonstrates the potential for innovation within the automotive design industry by reenvisioning car aesthetics and integrating new features for improved functionality and visual appeal. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Sci-Fi-Inspired Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-12cilindri.md) - [Stealth Racer Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-f1-concept.md) - [Premium Adventurous Racecar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mc20-dakar-edition.md) - [Game-Exclusive Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gran-turismo-7.md) - [Single-Edition Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sf48-unica.md) - [Retrofuturism Split-Body Race Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traroca-v1.md) - [Sleek Reimagined Racing Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-99x.md) - [Hypercar Racing Wheel Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/racing-wheel-concept.md) - [Video Game-Like Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milano-vision-gt.md)
