This connecting rod was part of the engine of the Ferrari 150° Italia, the single-seater with which Scuderia Ferrari competed in the 2011 Formula 1 World Championship. Entrusted to Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, the car gained a victory in the British GP as well as several podium finishes, contributing to Ferrari's third place in the Constructors' Championship. The connecting rod is mounted on a pedestal featuring minimalist elegant lines designed by the Ferrari Style Centre and made of transparent methacrylate, a special polymer with outstanding durability and extra-clear – as clear as glass – appearing, making the item look as if it were floating. The vertical element, made of polished anodised aluminium brushed at different intensities and with anti-fingerprint treatment, lends depth and dynamism to the shadow cast by the piece. Created for collectors and enthusiasts who wish to own a fragment of Ferrari's spirit, each certified and authenticated Ferrari Collectibles piece celebrates the legendary Ferrari mechanics, symbol of innovation, craftsmanship and beauty. Born for speed, reborn for beauty.
