If you’re a fan of the Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell universe, you’ll probably love the open-world rendition found within Cyberpunk 2077, dubbed Night City. It’s a dystopian metropolis, controlled by the corporations and heavily reliant on robotics and cyber implants.
The game also features over 60 controllable vehicles of all types (cars, bikes, trucks, drones), styled to look as though they can handle pretty much anything you throw at them. The FerRAR.exe concept you see here is unfortunately not one of them, yet designer Leyang Bai made sure that it looked like it belongs in the game.

Visually, there is so much stuff going on with this car, it's hard to even know where to start. The first thing we noticed is it doesn’t really look like a modern Ferrari. There are no recognizable styling traits and it only features one badge, positioned in the middle of all that carbon fiber at the front. In a sense, you could pretty much call this car anything you like in terms of branding. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just an observation.

What it does look like, though, is a retro-futuristic Italian exotic because the designer used the iconic Ferrari 312P race car as inspiration. The more we analyze both designs side by side, the more connections we can make. The latter’s flared arches are naturally more angular here, as per Dystopian regulations, while the lighting units appear ultra-advanced.

“This was a straightforward project mostly intended to test the features of Blender,” said the artist. “The FerRAR.exe is a mixture of a Ferrari 312P homage and the style [of] Cyberpunk 2077, imagining what a LeMans hyper-car may look like in that world and that year.”

The FerRAR.exe also boasts some kick-ass aerodynamics, which include active aero elements embedded in the arches. They look a lot like the speed brakes you’d find on a plane, and their main purpose is undoubtedly to generate downforce – or it would be, if this wasn’t just an imaginary machine. Still, you can see how these aero elements work in the video below.

In the end, we feel as though this car could inhabit lots of futuristic worlds, and not just that of Cyberpunk 2077 or Blade Runner/Ghost in the Shell. It also looks like it belongs in The Expanse, even though the action there takes place mainly in space. Other examples of fitting “worlds” include those in Alita: Battle Angel, Dredd, Equilibrium, Gattaca, and Total Recall, just to name a few.
