The Ferrari F80 uses 'power optimization' to provide drivers with more strength at critical moments.
Meet the successor of the LaFerrari.
The new Ferrari F80 hypercar features an innovative capability to record the circuit it is driving on and also provides a boost to the driver at the right moment during the next lap. This function, called “Boost Optimization,” analyzes the straights and curves of the track and, without requiring any additional action from the driver, delivers more power to its hybrid system to help achieve the best possible lap time.
Drivers can choose the “Performance” mode to enjoy a constant amount of electrical energy for as long as possible, or select the “Qualify” mode, which maximizes the boost power at the right moments, at the cost of a rapid battery drain. Unlike Ferrari's SF90 Stradale and 296 GTB models, this car does not have a fully electric driving mode.
The F80 features an all-wheel-drive powertrain with a rear V6 engine that produces 900 horsepower. Combined with its three electric motors, it reaches a maximum power output of 1200 horsepower. The brand claims it to be their "most powerful production car to date." These electric motors are the first fully developed and manufactured by the company, based on the design of the MGU-K engine used in Formula 1.
Two of these electric motors are located on the front axle alongside an inverter and an integrated cooling system, allowing for torque vectoring and reducing the vehicle's weight. Additionally, a DC converter providing 800, 48, and 12 volts contributes to weight reduction, as the F80 does not require a separate 48-volt battery to power its active suspension and e-turbo systems. The model also incorporates a slip control system with a "digital twin" and active aerodynamics that increase downforce during corners to maintain optimal balance.
The production of the Ferrari F80 is limited to just 799 units, each priced at over 3 million dollars. These units have already been allocated to current customers.
