Ferrari Monza SP1 Wins 2020 Golden Compass Award

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Ferrari announced on the 14th that the 'Ferrari Monza SP1' has won the 'Golden Compass' award, the world's most prestigious honor in the field of industrial design.

At the awards ceremony held on the 9th, Flavio Manzoni, Chief Designer, and Jane Reeve, Head of Communications, received the award on behalf of Ferrari.

Established in 1954 and held biennially, the Golden Compass is the oldest and most authoritative award in industrial design. The final winners are selected by a jury composed of experts from various fields worldwide, including designers, critics, historians, and professional journalists. The Italian Association of Industrial Design (ADI) jury evaluated the Monza SP1, stating, “Although it is not a design that reminisces about the past, it portrays the memories and legacy left by Ferrari while simultaneously showing the future ahead.”

The Ferrari Monza SP1 is the first vehicle in the special limited edition segment 'Icona,' produced for a very select group of customers and collectors. The Monza SP1 was inspired by the legendary 1950s Ferrari racing cars 'Barchetta' models, including the '1947 166MM,' '750 Monza,' and '860 Monza.' These models, designed with the goal of winning racing competitions, secured multiple victories in the World Sports Car Championship, leaving legendary records in Ferrari's 1950s racing history.

Meanwhile, the Monza SP1 previously won the 2019 Red Dot Design Award Best of the Best and the 2019 iF Design Award Gold.
