# Hybrid Hydrogen Hot Rods The Ferrari Eternita Captures the Crown at Ferrari's World Design Contest By Michael Hines | Published 2011-07-25 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ferrari-eternita References: [ecofriend](http://www.ecofriend.com/entry/ferrari-eternita-hydrogen-hybrid-wins-ferrari-world-design-contest/) & [wired](http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/07/the-hybrid-ferrari-of-tomorrow/) I can't help but wish that I was one of the three designers behind the Ferrari Eternita concept. Not only did the three designers, South Korean design students Kim Cheon Ju, Lee Sahnseok and Ahn Dre, win Ferrari's World Design Contest, but they also created a kickass eco-friendly supercar that runs off of a hybrid hydrogen engine. The Ferrari Eternita is one of the sleekest concept cars ever conceived and sits so low to the ground it is almost ridiculous. The design beat out nearly 400 other entries into the contest, which asked participants to create a "Ferrari of the Third Millennium." Cars entered had to be lightweight, fuel-efficient and come equipped with the most cutting-edge technology available. While Ferrari has no plans to create any of the concepts entered into its contest, it does plan on giving the winning team three-month internships at Ferrari's headquarters in Maranello, Italy. You can check out the Ferrari Eternita, along with the second and third place entries here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Hybrid Hydrogen Engines:** The Ferrari Eternita showcases the potential of hybrid hydrogen engines for eco-friendly supercars. - **Sleek Concept Cars:** The Ferrari Eternita highlights the demand for futuristic and low-profile concept cars. - **Cutting-edge Automotive Technology:** The Ferrari Eternita emphasizes the importance of integrating the latest technology in fuel-efficient vehicles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Design:** Automotive design companies can explore new opportunities in creating concept cars with hybrid hydrogen engines. - **Automotive Engineering:** Automotive engineering firms can focus on developing sleek and lightweight designs for futuristic supercars. - **Automotive Technology:** Companies specializing in automotive technology can develop cutting-edge solutions for fuel-efficient and eco-friendly vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Game-Exclusive Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gran-turismo-7.md) - [Omni-Fuel Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andrietta-concept-car.md) - [Italian Sports Car-Branded Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ferrari-ev-charger.md) - [Concept Racing Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vita-nova.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Supercar Teasers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpine-a4810.md) - [Single-Edition Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sf48-unica.md) - [Hydrogen-Electric Racecars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/missionh24.md) - [Sports Car-Inspired Luxury Superyachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gran-turismo-mediterranea.md) - [Stealth Racer Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-f1-concept.md)
