The European Design Institute in Turin took three Ferrari concepts to the Ferrari World Design Contest of 2011, and along with the Ferrari Xezri, which took out second place, here are the details on the other two as well. With a brief to create a hypercar of the future with surprising design, technology, performance and eco-sustainability, the Xezri was joined by other student creations, including the Ferrari 540 Pegaso and the Ferrari Ethesian.

The Xezri was created by Samir Sadikhov, studying Transportation Design, who created his hypercar inspired by the wind - both in terms of style and as a source of energy. He took as a study the principles of flexible aeronautical design, and the Xezri uses a large wing placed on the roof of the car that rises at speeds of over 200 km/hr, allowing air to flow into the engine compartment to cool the motor.

Other students studying Transportation Design created the 540 Pegaso by Giuseppe Ceccio, Giacomo Pierin and Matteo Politano; and the Ferrari Ethesian concept by Alessandro Nardolillo. These final two designs represent the last of the three models which were admitted to the finals of the Ferrari World Design Contest as all the thesis projects on car design from the 2010-2011 academic year of Transportation Design were admitted. Check out the extra pics below and the video for the 540 Pegaso and the Ethesian.
