Ferrari has a new performance flagship model called the F80, and instead of a howling V-12 engine you'll find a twin-turbo V-6 plug-in hybrid powertrain under its exotic-looking bodywork. Touted as a successor to iconic Ferraris such as the 288 GTO and the LaFerrari, the F80 features engineering from the brand's Formula 1 racing team. That plug-in-hybrid powertrain boasts 1184 horsepower and is said to be capable of launching the F80 to 62 mph in as little as 2.2 seconds. Active aerodynamic elements, an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and an active suspension system have all be specially tuned to unlock the F80's envelope-pushing performance.
Ferrari's latest range-topping hypercar is all new for the 2026 model year, joining the lineup alongside the brand's other performance models.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance: The F80 is powered by a plug-in-hybrid powertrain that makes an incredible 1184 horsepower and features technology gleaned from Ferrari's F1 racing team. A mid-mounted twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 engine is assisted by three electric motors to hit that output number, and acceleration should be nothing short of explosive. With two of the electric motors driving the front wheels, the F80 is also all-wheel drive. An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic is standard, as is an active suspension system that uses four 48-volt electric motors to control damper stiffness at all four corners. When we get a chance to drive the F80, we will update this story with driving impressions and instrumented test results.
0–60-MPH Times: Ferrari claims some impressive acceleration numbers for its new flagship model. The company says 62 mph arrives in as little as 2.2 seconds and 124 mph happens in as little as 5.8.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG: Ferari says fuel economy is TBD. We’ll update this story when those figures come in.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo: While there are two seats inside the F80's cabin, the best seat in the house is obviously reserved for the driver. From the small, flat-sided steering wheel to the relative lack of digital display screens, the F80 is set up to be a driver's car first and all else second. In fact, rather than calling the F80 a two-seater, Ferrari refers to it as a 1+ in its press materials. Underscoring the driver-centric design, the F80 features a bright red driver's seat, while the passenger's seat—which is not adjustable and is little more than padding affixed to the car's carbon-fiber tub—is covered in black upholstery, receding to the background in photos.

Infotainment and Connectivity: There's no infotainment display inside the F80's cabin, at least not in the traditional sense. A digital gauge cluster is the primary display for most everything inside the car and it's operated via steering wheel buttons. A secondary, smaller display on the center console exists merely for climate controls. We don't have all the details on the F80's connectivity features, but don't expect Wi-Fi, a voice assistant, or in-dash gaming features.

In addition to the reviews; you might think that a car as focused on performance as this might avoid the integration of driver-assistance features, but Ferrari has endowed the F80 with several, including automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlamps. For more information about the F80's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:
- Standard automated emergency braking,
- Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist,
- Standard adaptive cruise control
