Ferrari F80: The New Supercar From the Prancing Horse

models

The Ferrari F80 represents a paradigm shift in performance, leveraging a direct transfer of Le Mans and Formula 1 technology to create the marque’s most powerful road car ever. At its heart is a state-of-the-art 1200 hp hybrid powertrain, mating a 900 hp, 3.0-liter V6 derived from the victorious 499P endurance racer with three electric motors, including an e-4WD front axle.

This immense power is harnessed by extreme active aerodynamics generating over 1000 kg of downforce and a sophisticated active suspension system, ensuring unprecedented dynamic control. Its multi-material chassis, blending carbon fiber and exotic alloys, provides a rigid foundation for a futuristic design that pays homage to legendary predecessors like the F40. The F80 is not merely a successor but a new technological epoch for Ferrari, redefining the hypercar benchmark through its profound integration of motorsport innovation into a road-going application.

Exterior

Forged from the DNA of aerospace and Formula 1, the Ferrari F80’s exterior is a breathtaking statement of raw power. Its radical architecture creates an aggressive, hunkered-down stance, as if the car is gripping the tarmac itself before a launch. The front is pure intimidation, featuring vertical aero blades that stand proud of the bodywork in a ruthless, modern tribute to the legendary F40. Above this, the cockpit emerges like a fighter jet’s canopy, with headlamps that vanish into a sinister black visor that seems to slice through the air. The rear is a symphony of muscular, sculpted lines where the tail lights are embedded within a multi-layered structure that integrates with the active wing, creating a visceral and technically masterful presence from every angle.

Innovations

The Ferrari F80 is a technical masterpiece, representing a new epoch of innovation by transferring cutting-edge technology directly from Formula 1 and Le Mans to a road car. The revolutionary hybrid powertrain is central to this leap, featuring a potent 120° V6 and, for the first time, an MGU-K electric motor conceived, developed, and manufactured entirely in-house by Ferrari. Innovation extends to every component, from the all-new multi-material chassis and radical active suspension to the extreme aerodynamics that generate unprecedented downforce. The F80 also debuts the motorsport-derived CCM-R Plus braking system and a new SSC 9.0 dynamics control system that uses a "digital twin" to create a near-telepathic connection between driver, car, and road.

Interior

The interior of the Ferrari F80 is a masterclass in driver-focused design, creating a "1+" configuration that cocoons the driver in a compact, single-seater-inspired cockpit. To achieve a narrower, more aerodynamic cabin without sacrificing comfort, the passenger seat is ingeniously set further back than the driver's and visually integrated into the surrounding trim. A new, smaller steering wheel with flattened rims enhances visibility and tactile control, marking a return to physical buttons for more intuitive access to functions. The entire layout converges on the driver, with every control and instrument panel designed to create an unparalleled, intimate connection to the car and its performance.
