The Ferrari F80 sounds like an absolute masterpiece of engineering! It’s incredible how Ferrari has once again pushed the boundaries of hypercar performance and technology. The hybrid V-6 powertrain, combined with those electric motors, gives it an astounding 1,184 horsepower, making it the most powerful Ferrari ever produced. It’s fascinating that they’ve moved away from their iconic V-12, opting instead for a high-tech hybrid setup inspired by their Le Mans race cars.

The performance figures are mind-blowing: 0-62 mph in just over 2 seconds and a top speed of over 217 mph. The attention to detail in both the powertrain and aerodynamics really shows Ferrari’s F1 expertise, with features like the S-Duct and active aero delivering more than 2,200 pounds of downforce. The Boost Optimization system is also an interesting tech innovation, letting drivers maximize power on the track exactly when they need it.
The design, penned by Flavio Manzoni, has some cool retro touches, and the asymmetrical chassis adds a unique, functional twist to the interior. Priced at around $4 million, it’s certainly exclusive, with only 799 units planned for production. The F80 is definitely set to make a mark in hypercar history, just like the LaFerrari did over a decade ago.

At the heart of the Ferrari F80 is a reworked version of Ferrari’s signature engine architecture, but with a twist. Rather than the traditional V-12, the F80 has a 3.0-liter V-6 engine, which is loosely based on the 120-degree, hot-vee engine used in the Ferrari 296 sports car and the 499P Le Mans race car. This V-6 engine alone cranks out 900 horsepower, but thanks to the integration of three electric motors, the total power output soars to 1,184 horsepower. This makes the Ferrari F80 the most powerful Ferrari ever produced, and it shows in the numbers. The F80 can accelerate from zero to 62 miles per hour in just 2.15 seconds, and it reaches 125 miles per hour in 5.75 seconds. Its top speed is an impressive 217.5 miles per hour.
