FERRARI F80 FIRST US DELIVERY HITS LA AT $3.9 MILLION

# The F80 Era Begins Only 799 units will be built, all of which have already been reserved by customers, with each priced at approximately US$3.9 million. The first Ferrari F80 to reach American shores has arrived in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, marking a historic moment for the Prancing Horse. This delivery signals the start of what Ferrari calls its most ambitious hypercar program yet. The F80 represents Ferrari's answer to the hybrid hypercar wars. Combined, the powerplants produce a total of 1,200 PS (883 kW; 1,184 hp). That power comes from a 3.0L twin-turbocharged Tipo F163 CF 120° V6 petrol engine derived from the Ferrari 499P Le Mans Hypercar, and three electric motors. The engine produces 900 PS (662 kW; 888 hp), while the electric motors produce 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp). ## Le Mans Tech Meets Rodeo Drive Ferrari has not disclosed a release date, but outlets expect deliveries to begin in late 2025 or early 2026, the latter primarily for the U.S. The timing aligns perfectly with Ferrari's strategy to capitalize on America's supercar appetite. Only 799 will be built, and they will start reaching U.S. customers in early 2026. The F80's powertrain blueprint borrows heavily from Formula 1. Naturally, there is also technology carried over from Formula 1, from which the F80 inherits both the concept of the MGU-K (with the development of an industrially manufacturable electric motor similar to the unit used in Ferrari F1 cars) and the MGU-Hs. This isn't badge engineering. This is Ferrari taking its most successful racing technologies and making them street legal. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 2.15 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h (0 to 124 mph) in 5.75 seconds. Those numbers put the F80 ahead of its predecessors and most competitors. ## The $4 Million Question will likely cost $4 million to $5 million, depending on one's appetite for options on top of the $3,735,000 starting point. The price positioning puts Ferrari in direct competition with McLaren's W1, which makes the $2.1 million, 1,275-hp McLaren W1 look like a steal, at least on paper. That pricing strategy reflects Ferrari's confidence in the F80's positioning. 799 is a huge number. That's 200 units more than the LaFerrari and 400 more than the McLaren W1, and yet the F80 costs over a million dollars more than its main rival. Despite initial reports of slow sales, Ferrari has clarified that all 799 units of the F80 have already been allocated and that the recent reports are untrue. ## Engineering Without Compromise The F80's aerodynamics package generates over a ton of downforce, producing 1,050 kg at speed. This isn't just for show. The rear diffuser, the front triplane wing, the flat floor, and the famous S-Duct work together to generate 1,000 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, with 460 kg on the front. The rear diffuser, which is 1.80 meters long—a record—contributes to more than half of the total downforce. The chassis represents a generational leap from the LaFerrari. It features a carbon fiber monocoque combined with aluminum trellises at the front and rear. This choice of materials results in a 5% weight reduction compared to the LaFerrari, while increasing rigidity by 50%. With these optimizations, the F80's dry weight is only 1,525 kg. ## What Comes Next initial customer deliveries expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026, giving the company just enough lead time to shake down early models and fine-tune production. And unless otherwise announced, all signs point to a deliberately measured rollout, paced so that the final units align with Ferrari's 80th-anniversary celebrations in 2027. The F80 arrives at a pivotal moment for Ferrari. With hybrid technology becoming the norm in hypercars and full electrification on the horizon, the F80 represents Ferrari's final statement on what internal combustion can achieve when paired with electric assistance. Expect more F80 deliveries to accelerate throughout 2026. all F80 buyers are bound by an 18-month holding period, preventing them from registering the car or selling it within the first 18 months after delivery. When the F80 does hit the resale market, prices are expected to start at around €6 million, reflecting a premium of €2 million over the original price. The first F80 in America signals more than just another supercar delivery. It marks Ferrari's commitment to pushing hybrid technology to its absolute limit before the inevitable shift to full electrification.
