Ferrari has a long history of creating remarkable hypercars that not only impress with their performance but also embody cutting-edge technology. The latest addition to this legacy is the F80, a car that pays homage to 40 years of Ferrari’s most celebrated models. Collectors are eager for this new arrival, which joins iconic names like the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari.

Technological Innovations from the Track


With recent victories in the Le Mans 24 Hours races, Ferrari has confidently embraced hybrid technology in the F80, featuring a 3.0-liter V6 engine. While some might question the shift from traditional V12 engines, the F80 showcases an innovative powertrain inspired by Ferrari's successful race cars. It integrates Formula One technology, achieving a staggering performance: the F80 goes from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 217 mph.

Revolutionary Powertrain and Hybrid System


The F80’s powertrain is remarkable, producing a total output of 1,183 bhp—887 bhp from the combustion engine and 296 bhp from the hybrid system. This complex setup demonstrates Ferrari's commitment to advanced technology, as they design their own electric motors and inverters to enhance performance.

Aerodynamics and Design


The F80 employs ground effect aerodynamics, generating 1,000 kilograms of downforce at 155 mph. Its design features elements like a triplane wing and active rear wing that enhance stability. The chassis is made of T800 carbon fiber, providing both strength and lightweight properties.

Aesthetics Meets Performance


Ferrari’s design team has worked hard to balance beauty and functionality in the F80. Influenced by the space race and classic Ferrari designs, the F80 has a unique and aggressive look. The cockpit is snug, emphasizing performance while reducing weight and drag.

Price and Exclusivity


The F80 comes with a hefty price tag of $4 million, and only 799 units will be made. Ferrari’s top clients will be the only ones eligible to purchase this exclusive hypercar. With fewer units than the LaFerrari and more than the F40, the F80 is set to become a significant part of Ferrari's storied history.
