Another set of drawings from the car exhibit at MoMA.
The Ferrari 541 is considered one of the most beautiful Formula 1 race cars of all time. It debuted in 1990 and won six of the sixteen races it entered, nearly winning the World Championship for Ferrari for the first time in seven years. Its shape was designed using exhaustive wind-tunnel studies and a precise size/weight/materials formula to maximize its aerodynamic properties. With minimal drag, it could handle at speeds over 200 mph (322 kph) and withstand lateral forces of up to 4G.
On the left is the Ferrari logo. Agip is the Italian gas company. The six-legged dog of its logo represents the four wheels of the car with the two legs of the driver.
