2025 Ferrari F80 Reminds You Why Ferrari Is Ferrari

Ferrari has introduced its latest weapon, the F80.

Like all of Ferrari's flagship hypercars, the F80 was designed to push the boundaries of performance and technology. In classic Ferrari fashion, the F80 is a powertrain with a vehicle attached to it. A 3.0-liter V-6 engine paired with three electric motors produces a total output of 1,184 horsepower—making it the most powerful production Ferrari to date.

The gasoline engine alone is worth 900 horsepower, with an additional 80 horsepower coming from the rear electric motor. The other two motors are mounted on the front axle, providing torque vectoring and regenerative braking capabilities. Altogether, the electric motors contribute 325 horsepower, which are juiced by an 800-volt lithium-cell battery pack with a capacity of 2.3 kilowatt-hours.

The result is blistering performance, with the F80 accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.15 seconds and reaching a top speed of 217.5 mph.

The F80’s design features an asymmetrical carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, with aluminum subframes and a roof made entirely of carbon fiber. Notably, the driver's seat is adjustable—unlike other supercars with fixed seating—and the F80 comes with butterfly doors, enhancing both style and functionality.

Aerodynamics were a major focus for Ferrari, with the F80 incorporating technology derived from Formula 1 and the World Endurance Championship. A pointed nose and active aero features, including a 71-inch rear diffuser and an active wing, generate a total of 2,204 pounds of downforce at 155 mph, closely rivaling the McLaren W1’s downforce figures. The F80’s advanced suspension system uses spool-valve dampers from Multimatic.

The F80 offers three driving modes: Hybrid, Performance, and Qualify. While it lacks a fully electric mode, the Hybrid setting prioritizes energy recovery, while Qualify mode unleashes the car’s full power for maximum performance.

Ferrari’s new Boost Optimization technology, available in the Performance and Qualify modes, can strategically increase power on track-specific sections—similar to the ERS strategies employed in Formula 1—further enhancing the car’s capabilities during high-speed runs.

Stopping power is handled by Brembo’s new CCM-R Plus braking system, offering enhanced mechanical strength and thermal connectivity compared to traditional carbon brakes. The F80 also incorporates modern active safety features such as automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist, an unusual but welcome addition for a hypercar.

The Ferrari F80 is priced at $4 million USD, making it the most expensive Ferrari ever produced. It will be limited to just 799 units with production expected to begin in late 2025 before ending in 2027.
