The Red Racing Mako Pup by Alastair Gibson in collaboration with Carbon Art 45 is a striking fusion of high-performance racing and oceanic design. Inspired by the 2022 Scuderia Ferrari Formula One car, which claimed victory at the 2022 British Grand Prix, this sculpture embodies speed, precision, and elegance.
A scaled version of the original Racing Mako, the sculpture is crafted to the true birth size of a Mako shark pup, capturing the sleek, aerodynamic lines of the ocean’s fastest shark. Every detail mirrors the racing spirit of Ferrari’s championship-winning technology.
Selected components and materials used in the sculpture are sourced from modern Grand Prix cars, integrating authentic motorsport engineering into the piece. The Red Racing Mako Pup is a unique collectible, celebrating the perfect intersection of nature, art, and Formula One performance.
