About F80
Ferrari builds a true hypercar roughly once a decade, and each becomes a landmark. The F80, revealed in October 2024, follows the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo and LaFerrari, and it is the most powerful road car Ferrari has ever built. Its heart is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 derived from the engine in the Le Mans-winning 499P, paired with electric motors that drive the front axle, for a combined output of about 1,200 metric horsepower.
The choice of a V6 surprised fans who expected a V12, but Ferrari argued that the six-cylinder's racing pedigree and light weight made it the right engine, and the ferocious numbers silenced most objections. The car's shape, with a deep channel through the nose and a cockpit built around the driver, with the passenger seat set slightly back, was dictated by aerodynamics and racing thinking. Production is capped at 799 cars, all allocated to Ferrari's most loyal collectors long before deliveries began.
The F80 competes with the McLaren W1, the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Valhalla and, in raw output, electric hypercars such as the Rimac Nevera. Its price of several million dollars put it far beyond the LaFerrari's, and early cars draw intense attention from collectors and spotters alike. Ferrari has also used the F80 as a showcase for technology, including active suspension and hybrid hardware, that will inform its future road cars.
Coverage here tracks deliveries, first drives, track appearances and spotting reports, as well as the auction market for the hypercars that came before it, where F40s, F50s and Enzos regularly set records. For anyone curious about where Ferrari's engineering is headed, the F80 is the clearest statement of intent, and its reception among collectors says a great deal about the appetite for hybrid hypercars. Expect values on the resale market, if any owner is ever willing to sell, to be watched just as closely.
