The retro design and name of the F80 evoke memories of the previous F40 and F50, but don’t be misled by its appearance.
Possessing 1,184 horsepower and priced at $3.9 million, the F80 is one of the fastest and most powerful road racing cars in Ferrari's history.
The engine of F8
The key to the F80 is its 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbocharged engine, paired with multiple electric motors, which elevates its performance to incredible levels.
This hybrid configuration is not only a leap towards the future but also a tribute to Ferrari's illustrious racing history, particularly their exceptional skill in Formula One racing.
Over the decades, Ferrari has refined the art of achieving maximum power with smaller, more efficient engines, and the F80 continues this tradition by applying race track experience to road performance.
Moreover, the F80's V6 engine boasts a maximum output of 1,184 horsepower and a peak torque of 626 pound-feet. Together with an additional 33 pound-feet from the rear motor and 89 pound-feet from the dual front motors, the F80 achieves a 0-62 mph acceleration time of 2.15 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph.
It slightly surpasses LaFerrari's top speed of 218 mph but has a noticeably slower start, with a 0-62 mph acceleration time of 2.4 seconds.
However, Ferrari's flagship model is not just about straight-line speed; the F80 features a carbon fiber chassis, active suspension systems, and various aerodynamic features, including an active rear wing, rear diffuser, flat underbody, tri-front wing, and S-shaped ducts (a technology from F1 that helps to mitigate the effects of turbulent air).
Overall, Ferrari's aerodynamic engineering enables the F80 to generate a maximum downforce of 2,204 pounds at 155 mph, approximately 65% of the F80's body weight.
F80 is already sold out
If you are looking to purchase an F80 now, it might prove to be a challenge. Dedicated collectors have already snapped up all 799 units of the F80, seemingly unconcerned that deliveries for this Ferrari will not begin until 2026.
Like previous flagship models from Ferrari, many of the F80s are likely to be stored away in warehouses, as their owners wait for their value to appreciate. Just like the LaFerrari, which initially debuted at a price of $1.5 million, the resale value has now approached $4 million.
