Forge (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Competizione Ventidue was a conceptual restomod created by London-based design studio Forge Design. It reimagined the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB SEFAC “Hot Rod” as a modern reinterpretation that blended mid-century elegance with contemporary engineering. The concept was rooted in 1959 cultural touchstones—including Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum—and was envisioned as the kind of car an ascendant Davis might have driven. The design featured a hydrogen-burning V12 powerplant, composite bodywork, an aluminium-carbon fibre hybrid chassis, fully independent suspension, and modern lighting and brake systems. It was presented purely as a digital design exercise—an homage to analog artistry and craftsmanship in the age of digital design. The project was showcased online and through media outlets but never entered production.
