The new 1,200 hp Ferrari F80 in photos!

With a power of 1,200 hp, the F80 is the most powerful production car ever made by Ferrari.

Ferrari unveiled today its new Supercar simply named F80. An exciting new chapter in the rich history of Supercars at the Prancing Horse and an extraordinary exercise in style that cannot be ignored. A mind-bending blend of sobriety and absolute brutality, it is a complete break from everything Ferrari has offered us so far. The F80 will be produced in a limited series of only 799 units and joins icons such as the GTO, F40, Enzo, and LaFerrari.

When the 288 GTO, the F50, or the Enzo, to name a few, were indomitable power monsters with a strictly sports-oriented purpose, Ferrari aimed to achieve uncompromising levels of ergonomics for this new creation so that it could be driven “easily” both daily and on the track. Given the creations of Maranello, we already know this ease is relatively relative, but we can only applaud the Italian manufacturer’s approach to wanting to offer an exhilarating driving experience regardless of the driver’s skill, and no longer just of the driver. In this regard, the cabin can be described as “1+” because, although the car is homologated for two occupants, the choice was made to minimize width in favor of aerodynamics and weight. A sort of two-seat single-seater fully dedicated to its driver.

Under the carbon hood, there is a rear mid-mounted V6 at a 120° angle with a displacement of 3 liters, code “F163CF”. The thermal block alone generates a staggering power of 900 hp, making it the Ferrari engine with the highest specific power of all time at 300 hp/liter. The electric front axle (e-4WD) and the rear motor of the hybrid system contribute an additional 300 hp. The connection of this car with motorsport is particularly strong since the architecture of this engine is derived from the power unit of the Hypercar 499P which has won the last two editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Exceptional in every way, this F80 is also exceptional in terms of price, as it requires an investment of 3.6 million euros to become its owner.
