F80 [2025-] Ferrari F80

[Jonathan19]

Ferrari F80 vs Mclaren W1 design comparison:

Thanks for this! I think it's the W1 is for me.

Exterior design wise, it looks like one of the design concept studies that should have never made it to final selection, but it did.

Et tu Monster D???

I mean, in the realm of what constitutes the modern hypercar, this thing is leagues better than the dumpy silver bullfrog that is AMG One, the generic-to-the-point-of-anonymity W1 and awful duck faced Valhalla (if that ever sees light of day).

I personally don't think it looks bad. But yes, undeniably it just shows how both McLaren and Ferrari raised the bar with the LaFerrari and P1 in terms of design. Specs seem to be somewhat on par with the W1, but the weight is always the worrying factor with Ferrari. Around 35kg off the SF90XX dry when the latter was weighted at 1755kg by Sport Auto sounds to me like this thing is likely to be in the 1700kg realm once kerb. You can't hide that much weight. What I'm the most curious about anyways, is if they'll allow this to be tested/supertested on track or if they'll do a LaFerrari again and refuse any magazine test/comparison outright.

One thing that's also worth highlighting is how they are making 799 of them! That's the highest unit count of any car costing over 2M. Up until now the highest was the Chiron at 500. The LaFerrari was 499 units (+200 Apertas), and that was only 1.2M. And this car might get an Aperta version on top as well.

Together with the price, this car is gonna bring Ferrari some serious money. This is really showcasing the power of the Ferrari brand. Mclaren is "more exclusive" at 399 units for the W1, but we all know that this is just because they could only sell 399. And the car is merely 2M, compared to 3M+ for the F80.

I cant believe the chicken wire in the front stayed

They don't usually miss at the top end so this is a first I guess..

Regardless of looks it's also too heavy but I guess that isn't a surprise.

Good thing we have Mr.Rimac and Cosworth to keep things proper

So are you just supposed to drive it alone? No way that passenger seat is comfortable. It's also a claimed .5 seconds slower 100-200 vs a W1. That's a lot.

It's a giant Ferrari Lego, by Ferrari.

At least the interior is nice, and I love the endurance/sport prototype reference in the seat's colors

Also, to comment on the alleged F1/WEC connection: obviously there is none.

The Ferrari press release mentions "Formula1"/"F1" 15 times and "WEC"/"499" 6 times (which sounds kinda bad, until you read the Mclaren press release for the W1, where they mention "Formula 1" 39 times!) This supposed connection is really tiresome to hear about, especially when you consider that to get this link, Ferrari went with a V6. If Ferrari possess the technical expertise to get 300PS/L out of an engine, if they instead went with a 4L V8, the car would have had 1200PS from the engine and 1500PS in total - and would be clearly ahead of the W1. But, because they wanted to pretend the car is an LMH prototype for the street, they are now behind.

Just to make it clear, the LMH car is using a structural version of the V6 (which the F80 doesn't), the LMH car is limited to 680PS (so no data collected on running the engine at 900PS), the LMH car is using a 400V architecture (while the F80 is using 800V), and the LMH car doesn't have electric turbos (while the F80 does). The LMH car also has no e-motor in the rear, while the F80 does. And, looking at the F1 engine, that is a 1.6L, 90 degree unit with a single turbo revving to 15k RPM with pneumatic valves, while this one is 3L 120 degree one with twin turbos, revving to 9k RPM with spring valves.

So, basically everything of note is completely different. But I am sure it's all incredibly motorsport inspired...

For the people who are trying to have a better look at the design, the configurator is already up with plenty of color options. Might be worth giving it a shot.

That remains to be seen. Nothing against Rimac, Bugatti or Cosworth but, despite the official presentation of Tourbillon, all we have is a rolling order catalogue. 2 years is a long time.

Mix of SF90, 296, SP3, F50 and 12Cilindri.

Actually, is mainly F40: front fender, back fender, louvered engine cover, "fixed" wing, relatively square headlights, the naca duct look alike that forms in the door/ radiator opening.....

Are you suggesting they will cancel the project? I very much doubt that.

There is also T50 and that noisy Aston Martin thing, and of course the recent Ferrari V12 cars, so we still have those to admire.

I know the RB19 isn't road legal, but I can't wait to hear that thing.

Regardless, the objective problem with the F80 here is the weight, it's just too heavy unfortunately.

Ok in all black it is very sinister looking. And of course hides that horrible black line on the front.

The best design of the current hypercars is the Valkyrie IMO. It’s a pity it is so useless as a roadcar…

Fully exposed carbon fiber F80. Hides the black line which you can spec in carbon too. Just wanted to show what it could look like "without it".

 

[WBarnes]

Definite shades of F40 somehow.
