The Ferrari F80 is here at last, the successor to the LaFerrari after over a decade and the newest top-of-the-line model to come out of Ferrari since the ‘F80’ lineage that began with the iconic GTO in 1984. Other models in this line were the F40 in 1987, the F50 in 1995, and the Enzo Ferrari in 2002.
Continuing with the minimumism theme in motorsport, the Ferrari F80 drops the V12 for an even smaller but more powerful 3-liter V6; identical to the unit used in the Ferrari 499P Le Mans Hypercar. Though there could be some disappointment from the V12 enthusiasts, the V6 in the F80 is going to become the most potent gasoline engine ever built by Ferrari. The car’s hybrid system teams up with three electric motors and that makes it possible to have a total power output that reaches 1,200 horsepower-basically, clearly placing it within the hypercar category.
The F80’s gasoline engine produces an astonishing 900 horsepower on its own, while its electric turbo technology enhances the power output and responsiveness at low RPMs. With the additional electric motors generating 300 horsepower, two of them on the front axle and one integrated with the engine and transmission, the F80 showcases Ferrari’s advanced engineering.
To handle its immense power, the Ferrari F80 generates 2,204 pounds of downforce, aided by a sophisticated rear wing-diffuser system. This setup allows the car to achieve remarkable acceleration, reaching 0-60 mph in just 2.15 seconds and 0-124 mph in 5.75 seconds.
Designed in-house at the Ferrari Styling Center, the F80 boasts a futuristic design with cues from older Ferrari models like the F40. Its interior aims to resemble a Formula 1 cockpit, with the driver’s seat positioned centrally. Production is limited to 799 units, all of which are already sold, with deliveries set for late 2025.
