Only 799 of the New Ferrari F80 Are Going to be Made
Ferrari introduced us to their brand new supercar in October. the F80 is their most powerful car to ever roll out the gates of the Ferrari factory thanks to it’s v6-hybrid powertrain pulling a combined power of 1200 hp.
The architecture of the powertrain was ripped directly from the 499p which has proven it’s worth by taking out two consecutive victories at the Le Mans.
Unfortunately for us only 799 examples are being made.
Ferrari’s goal was to create a supercar that was road legal as well as being perfectly suited for the track. Finding that balance can be tricky with the amount of aerodynamics that have gone into its carbon-fibre chassis and narrowed cabin. On the inside it feels more like a single seater, but does have room for two. Ferrari opted to call this layout “1+”. This trimming was done to trim weight and create less drag. Friends should enjoy your new ride from a distance.
Aerodynamics play a key role on the F80, with solutions such as the active rear wing, rear diffuser, flat underbody, front triplane wing and S-Duct working in concert to generate 1000 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. This result is further enhanced thanks to the active suspension, which contributes directly to generating ground effect. Performance is boosted by the electric front axle, which brings four-wheel drive capability to make even more effective use of the torque and power on tap, and the new brakes with motorsports-derived CCM-R Plus technology.
The F80 is equipped with the first Ferrari road car engine to benefit from a new approach for statistical knock control, which lets the engine operate even closer to the knock limit, allowing the use of higher combustion chamber pressures than ever (+20% compared with the 296 GTB) to unleash even more of the engine’s potential.
It has a max speed of 350 km/h and can go from 0 to 200km/h in just 5.75 seconds.
I can’t wait to see pictures of one of these on the side of the highway on fire surrounded by live-streaming Tik Tok influencers who couldn’t handle it’s torque.
