F80 Ferrari F80

Ferraris favorite colour is no longer red. It’s greed.

I am curious as to how their sales will be affected now that the F80 carrot stick has been fed to its customers. Maybe the next carrot stick will be a mid engine car with the 12 cilindri V12.

512 TR Successor man oh man oh man. I would do some delicious things for it to happen.

It's an endless loop. They've been fed the F80 carrot stick, but they also want the 296 VS and Icona 4 right? Oo if you purchase the new BEV you might also get the 12 Cilindri VS in 2027, and then it's time for Icona 5 etc. etc.

Yes. There will likely be an Icona as consumers are willing to pay a big premium for non-hybrid models.. That’s a series of cars for which spec sheet data and lap times are not important. The Icona 3 is based on the Laf. I wonder if Ferrari could extend the life of that chassis or modify to adhere to modern crash regulations for an Icona 4.

Interesting.

They are different cars. There will likely be an Icona 4 which you will only get the privilege to buy if you ordered an F80.

It's really splitting the Ferrari Guys. I'm just reading what they're saying but the Daytona has definitely gone up a couple of notches in my book.

Then there is Forza for people who don't have the privilege.

this just falls in line with the logic of capitalism, profit at all cost, it's the only thing that matters in this system

The car is immensely disappointing. Ferrari has lost their way. 296 is best current car they produce. It’s exceptional. The rest are missing the mark. This one more than the others. And that sound (lack there of), geez !

After the latest hypercars, the value of the AMG ONE will be better understood.

This messy design is wonderful compared to F80.

Can you remind me.. is the 296 the one you can afford?

Being able to afford and get allocated are quite different things

The F80 is everything a 2024 Ferrari halo car needs to be in how it looks, how it’s engineered and how it is expected to perform.
The ball wasn’t dropped; it was served on the tee at a 135 mph and is gone. Just like the other 798.

About the V12, my take, as someone who can only fantasize about it, yes I would very much like it with a NA V12. But fact reality is, Ferrari sells other V12 cars and folks buying this will most definitely own 1/more of it. So, it is okay that F80 is about something else - the Lemans connection.
I am sure F40 too got flak in it's time for not having a V12, but now, it is one of the most celebrated of the big 5 (6 now).


More should do what 4RS does, quite outside, deafening inside . No rules against that. Yet!

I don't think anyone cared. The F40 was an evolutuion of the 288/288 GTO Evoluzione, which itself was a 308 on steroids, it's TTV8 was designed to meet the 4.0 litre Group B limit, which was the reason for it not being a V12. Ferrari's first halo V12 was the F50, which most reviewers (at the time) found inferior to the F40.

And yet, now is widely lauded and sought after. I remember seeing it fly down the main straight at Kyalami. Bugger me - what a sound.

I know, but the F50 like the 288 GTO were cheap for a long time.

The F50 was cheap for a long time? I don't remember that.

You're happy with the quiet V6? Don't get me wrong, 900 HP from a six cylinder is incredible. But the sound is so bad. I feel like on one hand it gives credence to the 296 (which as an owner makes me happy), and makes me quite excited for what exactly will power the 296 VS, but I'm at a loss for the sound. I had friends at the reveal. They said it was baffling quiet. I just think for the ICONA series SP3 to have a V12 and this to have a V6 is bad. At least stick an 8 in there, but Ferrari V8's haven't sounded good since the 458 .

I guess my main observation regarding this car, and the W1, and their luke warm reception, is that the car world is so much different than it was. Straight line speed is now CHEAP. Electrics have seen to that. A Taycan Turbo S will probably beat this car and certainly the W1 in the quarter mile. When the P1/918/LAF came out, the next mid engined (or rear) was a freaking 650S (or was it 12C still?), a 991 Turbo S, and a base 458. The performance gap was unfathomable. Now, these car's are just sort of, there, performance wise with other cars that cost 1/10 (no hyperbole) the price.

Whatever the 296 VS looks like, it won't be far off the F80 in performance. I'm expecting 4.0-4.1 seconds, official, from 100-200, which is max .5 seconds slower over that mark against the F80. And it will be more usable. And, hopefully, better looking (since I think the F80 looks striking from some angles and terrible from others). I'm sure whatever the 750S replacement will be, it's performance will step the game on from the 750/765 and that's a scary thought. Again, making the W1 even more irrelevant.

There's no way I wouldn't take a P1 or a LAF over a W1 or F80. Just no way. And that's a shame considering the premium OEM's are looking to charge over those cars. Perhaps 2015-2020 was peak automobile in terms of looks, engagement, and performance. Seems so from where we are heading.

Relatively cheap, my friend, lol.

I do believe F50's were 500-600k about 15 years ago.

One of my all time favorite tracks. I want to visit and drive there one day.
As for the F50....hot damn what a car. The price has absolutely exploded beyond belief too.

They're about 4 million more than that now, LOL.
Talk about an investment.

So wonderful it's illegal to drive in the US
