A rare chance to snag a Ferrari F80 build slot has popped up online, and it’s causing a stir—the hypercar isn’t even out of the factory yet. Some German dealer tossed the listing up, asking a jaw-dropping sum just for the privilege of being near the front of the line.
Ferrari finally pulled the wraps off the F80 in late 2024 after years of hushed-up development, calling it the F250 in its secretive phase. It’s the big-name successor to the LaFerrari, carrying the weight of legends like the Enzo and F40. Expectations? Sky-high. And the Italian marque isn’t holding back, touting the F80 as a wild leap forward: retro styling cues slapped onto a cutting-edge, wind-cheating shape.
This thing isn’t just pretty—it’s a technical beast. Ferrari says it claws down an insane 2,200 pounds of downforce at 155 mph. Inside, the driver gets all the love, with a cockpit tilted their way and a passenger seat that feels like an afterthought. Under the hood? A twist. No screaming V12 here. Instead, the F80 rocks a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, borrowed from the 296 GTB but cranked up to 887 horsepower. Throw in three electric motors, and suddenly you’re sitting on 1,183 horsepower of Italian engineering gone feral.
The specs read like fantasy: 2.15 seconds to 62 mph, a top speed kissing 217 mph, and a dry weight lighter than most hypercars. And yeah, it’s Ferrari’s first AWD beast—though good luck trying to creep around silently on battery power. Only 799 will ever exist, all coupes for now.
The slot up for grabs? Rosso Corsa paint, black Alcantara dripping inside, and a few driver aids thrown in. But here’s the kicker: €6.3 million. That’s nearly double what the car itself costs. Frenzy? You bet. Ferrari’s latest halo machine already has collectors salivating, but caveat emptor—anyone dropping that kind of cash better double-check with Maranello first.
