Ferrari's Latest Flagship Hypercar Yours for $3.9M

With race-proven powertrain technology and limited to the first 799 wealthy customers with a spare $3.9 million rattling about, the new Ferrari flagship F80 has the wraps pulled off.

The model boasts the same engine platform as that used in the brand’s 499P racer that won the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours in 2022.

At the heart of the powertrain is a 3.0L gasoline V-6, code-named F163CF, claiming peak power of 900 hp at 8,750 rpm and with a rev limiter kicking in at 9,200 rpm, making it the engine with the highest power-to-weight ratio Ferrari has ever built.

The hybrid system has an electric front axle creating all-wheel drive and a Formula 1-derived MGU-K rear motor adding 295 hp to the F80's overall power output.

Its V-6 makes it the first Ferrari road car engine to employ new anti-knock technology allowing the use of higher combustion chamber pressure, up 20% compared with the 296 GTB.

Maximum claimed torque from the ICE is 626 lb.-ft. (849 Nm) from 5,550 rpm with a further 89 lb.-ft. (121 Nm) added by the front axle’s e-motor. Performance claims for the model with a curb weight of 3,355 lbs. (1,525 kg) is the 0-to-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint time of 2.5 seconds with 124 mph (200 km/h) reached in 5.75 seconds.

Ferrari makes no claims for outright top speeds but considering the car’s extensive race-developed aerodynamics package, it’s safe to assume it won’t be far off the Ferrari 499P’s top speed recorded at Le Mans of 216 mph (348 km/h).

The braking system of the F80 introduces CCM-R Plus technology, developed in collaboration with Brembo. This uses longer carbon fibers to double and triple heat dispersion over the previous-generation systems.

Two tire choices, with Pilot Sport Cup2 and Pilot Sport Cup2R variants, both offered in the sizes 285/30 R20 and 345/30 R21 (front/rear), were co-developed with Michelin for the F80.

Its chassis uses Ferrari’s multi-material approach, where the best-suited material for the task is used for each individual zone. The cell and roof are made of carbon fiber and other composites, while the front and rear subframes are made of aluminum and are fastened to the tub with titanium screws. At the rear there is an additional aluminum subframe, fastened to the main rear subframe with screws, for carrying the 800V battery.

To aid everyday use on highways, the F80 is equipped as standard with all the main ADAS functions currently available: adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function; automatic emergency brake; lane departure warning; lane keeping assist; automatic high beam; traffic sign recognition; and driver drowsiness and attention warning.
