Ferrari F80
The Ferrari F80 features a ground-up chassis design to achieve its ambitious performance goals. Combining cutting-edge technology with Ferrari’s signature design DNA, it delivers an unparalleled 1200 horsepower, making it the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever. With 1050 kg of downforce, the F80 stays firmly planted on the road while offering exceptional performance without sacrificing driving comfort.
The F80’s electric motor is Ferrari’s first unit to be fully developed, tested, and manufactured in-house at Maranello. Drawing heavily from Ferrari’s racing expertise, the motor incorporates advanced technologies such as a tooth-coil stator, a Halbach array rotor configuration, and a carbon fiber magnet retention system—all inspired by Formula 1 design.
The F80’s carbon fiber front bonnet incorporates an S-Duct linking the two front wings with a fixed element. Two flaps within the structure form a triplane wing configuration, inspired by the 499P. This design highlights Ferrari’s ability to integrate race-proven aerodynamics into its production cars.
The F80’s design contrasts body-colored upper sections with clear-coated carbon fiber below, showcasing its technical sophistication. The headlamps, integrated into a visor-like element, serve both aerodynamic and lighting functions, giving the car a bold look.
At the rear, the short-tail design offers two configurations—wing stowed or deployed. Taillights set within a layered structure of the fascia and spoiler create a sporty, dynamic “sandwich” effect.
The F80’s compact proportions stem from a single-seat racer-inspired cabin, evoking the feel of an enclosed Formula 1 car. This innovative “1+” layout places the driver firmly at the center, with a cocoon-like cockpit focused entirely on them.
The passenger seat, seamlessly integrated into the cabin trim, is almost invisible. A longitudinal offset positions the passenger seat farther back, allowing for a narrower interior without compromising ergonomics or comfort.
The F80 debuts a newly designed steering wheel, set to feature in future Ferrari road models. Slightly smaller than its predecessor, it has flattened top and bottom rims and a reduced boss, enhancing visibility and emphasizing sportiness.
The lateral zones are optimized for improved grip, while physical buttons return to the spokes, offering a tactile and intuitive layout for ease of use.
