Ferrari F80 Full Throttle on Vallelunga

The F80 is Ferrari’s most potent road car yet. Instead of the marque’s traditional V12, the F80 introduces a reworked 3.0-liter V6, derived from Ferrari’s 120-degree  “hot V” engine found in the 296 and the 499P Le Mans racer. On its own, the V6 delivers 900 horsepower, but with the addition of three electric motors, total output climbs to 1,184 horsepower, setting a new benchmark for the brand.

The performance figures are equally striking. The F80 sprints from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.15 seconds and reaches 125 mph in only 5.75 seconds. Its top speed is recorded at 217.5 mph, placing it firmly in the realm of the fastest supercars on the planet.

Strap in as test driver Paul Englert showcases the raw potential of the Ferrari F80 on the demanding Vallelunga circuit. From the driver’s seat, witness how nearly 1,200 horsepower launches the LaFerrari successor into blistering hot laps, with Christian Gebhardt, Uwe Sener, and the rest of sport auto’s test team pushing the hybrid supercar to its limits.
