The 2025 Ferrari F80 hypercar has been revealed as the exotic Italian car brand's long-awaited replacement for the LaFerrari, previewing the future design and technology that will be shared by all future Ferraris.

Just 799 Ferrari F80 road rockets will be built, retailing at an incredible €3.2 million once you add stamp duty, luxury car tax and all other on-road costs, it works out to roughly $A5.2 million a pop.

The advanced F80 will be limited to just 799 cars with all already spoken for ahead of deliveries set to begin in Q4 of 2025.

Do the math and that sees the company rake in an impressive $4,154,000,000.

Lining up alongside the LaFerrari, Enzo, F50 and legendary F40, the Ferrari F80 introduces the Italian supercar-maker's latest hybrid powertrains and next-generation aerodynamics.

2025 Ferrari F80 powertrain

Said to be based on a completely bespoke carbon-fibre monocoque, the centrepiece of the latest Ferrari hypercar is its wild electrified 120-degree 3.0-litre V6 that has two turbochargers and an astonishing five electric motors.

According to Ferrari, the 3.0-litre V6 isn't lifted from the 296 GTB coupe.

Instead, it's been borrowed from the Le Mans-winning 499P endurance racer.

Capable of revving up to 9200rpm, the V6 twin-turbo alone pumps out 662kW and 850Nm.

Allowing such a high-output is two-electrically-assisted turbos which uses small electric motors that live between the turbine and compressor wheels that raises boost pressure and reduces lag.

A further small electric motor acts as a starter-generator that torque-fills at lower revs.

Sending its might to the rear wheels is an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that's mounted on the rear axle.

The final two e-motors produce 105kW/121Nm each and drive the front pair of wheels to provide for all-wheel drive and complex levels of torque vectoring.

Supplying power for all five electric motors is an ultra-lightweight 2.28kWh battery back that lives behind the two seats and is charged by clawing back energy under braking.

There's no plug-in capability.

Despite the five motors, the battery and all the extra wiring and control modules, Ferrari claims the F80 actually weighs 40kg less than the LaFerrari at 1525kg dry.

2025 Ferrari F80 performance numbers

As you might expect with that level of power, the F80 takes just 2.15 seconds to launch from 0-100km/h, while 0-200km/h takes 5.75 seconds, while top speed is 350km/h.

Those figures both overshadow the latest McLaren W1 that is rear-wheel drive and can only manage a 2.7 seconds 0-100km/h dash, although from 0-200km/h the W1 almost equals the Italian with a time of 5.8 seconds.

On road and track the Ferrari F80 bags F1-inspired pushrod suspension that employs complex 3D-printed suspension arms, plus an advanced active anti-roll system developed by motorsport experts Multimatic.

Using a further four electric motors, the F80 is able to cancel out lateral body movement as well as manage dive, pitch and roll.

The brakes are also all-new and feature massive composite discs and Brembo-branded six-piston calipers on the front axle, while wide 20-inch (front) and 21-inch (rear) carbon-fibre wheels are standard.

At speed, the F80 can generate a huge 1050kg of downforce at 200km/h thanks to sophisticated underfloor air-bending, a huge S-duct at the front end and a large active rear wing.

The body itself is narrower than normal, cutting drag further but means the driver and passenger seats are staggered to make space.

2025 Ferrari F80 exterior and interior design

The final piece of the puzzle is new blocky styling, supposed to play homage to the Ferrari F40, among other famous road- and race-bred Ferraris from the past.

The cabin, meanwhile, is state-of-the-art and shuns the usual infotainment system of a large digital instrument cluster ahead of an unusual oval steering wheel.

A second much smaller touchscreen helps operate the climate control, while the passenger gets the option of their own screen.

There's no word if right-hand drive will be available or if any of the 799 Ferrari F80s sold have been snapped up by Australian buyers.
