Ferrari has introduced the F80, a groundbreaking addition to its supercar legacy, joining the ranks of icons like the 1984 GTO and the 2016 LaFerrari Aperta, limited to just 799 units. With its blend of hybrid power, cutting-edge engineering, and remarkable design, represents the pinnacle of Ferrari’s technological prowess and redefines performance standards in the automotive world.
For 40 years, the prancing horse has been offering its most loyal customers exclusive, overpowering, limited-run supercars, a tradition that began in 1984 with the 288 GTO. The F80 is no exception, carrying forward this tradition with a blend of performance, design, and engineering that will undoubtedly etch its name into the annals of automotive history.
The all-new Ferrari F80 does not follow the V12 recipe. Instead, it comes with a V6 that features dual turbos and is closely related to the one powering the 296 GTB. F80 produces an astonishing 900 horsepower, complemented by an additional 300 horsepower from its hybrid system. This powertrain draws heavily from Ferrari’s motorsport success, particularly in the World Endurance Championship (WEC), and features groundbreaking innovations like electric turbo technology (e-turbo) and an advanced hybrid system.
The Ferrari F80 V6-hybrid powertrain produces a combined 1,200 hp. The F80 will get to 100km/h (62mph) in 2.15 seconds, and double that 5.75 seconds. It will then stop from 200km/h in less than 100 metres. Maximum speed is 350km/h (217mph).
The F80 has a traditional two-seat layout with a driver-focused cockpit—Ferrari calls it a “1+” configuration, prioritizing the driver’s experience without sacrificing passenger comfort. Narrow cabin dimensions minimize drag and weight, while luxurious details like custom seating add comfort. The steering wheel, designed specifically for the F80, features intuitive controls, blending sportiness with practicality. The control panel is angled toward the driver, and the driver’s seat is a bright red adjustable sport bucket, as opposed to the passenger’s seat, which is fixed to the chassis.
The F80 balances extreme performance with usability. Equipped with advanced four-wheel drive and a new braking system featuring motorsports-grade CCM-R Plus brakes, which offer significantly better mechanical strength and thermal performance than traditional carbon brakes. Ferrari has also added advanced active safety features such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and traffic sign recognition, a rare inclusion in hypercars. Despite its incredible power, Ferrari has prioritized road-friendliness, making the F80 easy to drive for daily use, a rare achievement among supercars of its caliber.
Ferrari took most of its aerodynamic cues from Formula 1. The pointed nose combined with Ferrari’s signature S-Duct gives the F80 a whopping 1,014 pounds of downforce at 155 miles per hour on the front end alone. With an active wing and a massive 71.0-inch diffuser, the F80 produces 1,300 pounds of downforce at the rear, for a total of 2,204 pounds of downforce at 155 mph—nearly identical to the McLaren W1’s 2,205 pounds, though that’s achieved at 174 mph. The F80 signals a new direction for Ferrari’s visual identity. It combines sleek modern aesthetics with subtle nods to Ferrari’s illustrious past, creating a supercar that embodies both innovation and heritage.
Priced at €3.6 million, the Ferrari F80 is not only the most powerful but also the most expensive Ferrari ever produced. Only 799 units will be built, with production beginning at the end of 2025 and continuing through 2027.
