With the F80, the most powerful Cavallino ever built, Ferrari continues the lineage of legends like the GTO and F40, incorporating technology directly from its Formula 1 single-seater and the Le Mans-winning 499P.
Ferrari will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2027, the same year production concludes for the F80. Limited to just 799 units, the all-new Cavallino Rampante delivers a staggering 1,200 cv (1,184 bhp), making it the most powerful road-going Ferrari in history. The rest of its numbers are equally record-breaking. A €3.6 million price tag, an electronically limited top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h), and 0–62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration in a blistering 2.15 seconds and 0–124 mph (0–200 km/h) in 5.75 seconds.
The F80 is the latest heir in Maranello’s modern dynasty of supercars: 288 GTO (1984), F40 (1987), F50 (1995), Enzo (2002) and LaFerrari (2013). Like its predecessors, it borrows from the track technology of its era and adapts it for the road. In this case, hybrid power, active suspension, advanced braking, and aerodynamics.
At its heart lies a thermal-electric hybrid powertrain producing 1,200 cv in total. The combustion engine is Ferrari’s F163 CF, a 3.0-litre, 120-degree twin-turbo V6 delivering 900 cv, delivering a staggering specific output of 300 cv per litre. It’s paired with a hybrid system featuring the e-4WD axle and MGU-K electric motor. Notably, this is the first electric motor designed, tested and built entirely in-house at Maranello, derived directly from Ferrari’s Formula 1 experience. Two electric motors on the front axle provide four-wheel drive.
Designed by Ferrari’s Centro Stile, the F80’s exterior is unmistakably futuristic, with clear echoes of aerospace engineering. The all-new multi-material chassis blends innovation and function: a carbon-fibre tub and roof sit atop aluminium front and rear subframes, all fastened with titanium screws. Inside, the 1+1 cockpit unapologetically prioritises the driver above all else. This layout sharpens aerodynamics and unlocks extraordinary downforce: up to 1,050 kg of ground effect from 250 km/h onwards.
Among the F80’s other standout features are a completely re-engineered bespoke active suspension system, an eight-speed, dual-clutch F1 DCT gearbox, and the CCM-R Plus braking system. Co-developed with Brembo, these carbon fibre brakes offer improved mechanical strength by +100% and thermal conductivity by +300% over previous generation solutions. Coated with a layer of silicon carbide (SiC), they deliver incredible wear resistance and shorter bedding-in times.
