As specialists in rare and collectible vehicles, we’re always watching for the next generation of automotive icons. The new Ferrari F80 is one of those cars, forward-thinking, expertly engineered and already generating serious attention worldwide.
The F80 signals where the collector and performance market might be heading next.
A new chapter for Ferrari
The Ferrari F80 is the brand’s most advanced road car ever.
Created to celebrate 80 years of Ferrari, it joins the lineage of icons like the F40, Enzo and LaFerrari.
Rather than a naturally aspirated V12, the F80 is powered by a 3.0L twin-turbo V6, paired with three electric motors. Together, they produce a staggering 1,183bhp.
Key performance specifications
- Power: 1,183bhp
- Engine: 3.0L V6 + 3 electric motors
- 0 – 62mph: 2.15 seconds
- Top speed: 217mph
- Downforce: 1,050kg at 155mph
- Drive: All-wheel drive with electric motors front and rear
Designed with purpose
Everything about the F80 is built to perform.
The carbon-fibre body isn’t just for show, it improves weight and rigidity. Meanwhile, the car’s aerodynamics adjust in real time using active wings and airflow systems. Whether on the road or track, it’s constantly adapting to deliver maximum grip and balance.
Back to basics
Step inside the F80 and you’ll notice something different – Ferrari has taken a simpler, more driver-focused approach.
Gone are the complex screens and layered menus. Instead, you get physical buttons, a clean dashboard layout and a driving position that keeps you fully connected to the car.
It’s a refreshing change and one that puts the focus back where it belongs.
On and off the track
On track, the F80 is brutally quick. It delivers grip, downforce and braking power in ways that feel more like a race car than a road car.
Yet, it’s surprisingly usable on the road. The ride, while firm, smooths out at speed. The V6 engine has a mechanical edge and the electric motors add a new layer of engagement that feels futuristic without being sterile.
