Ferrari Introduces F80 Hypercar With 1,200hp Hybrid Powertrain, Successor To LaFerrari

The F80 is powered by a reengineered 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine that revs to 9200 rpm and produces 900hp. The powertrain is paired with three electric motors—two on the front axle and one on the rear that brings the total power output to 1,200hp mated to a 8 speed Dct.

The rear diffuser and wing create up to 1,000kg of downforce at 250 kmph.

Ferrari has used lightweight materials such as carbon fibre, titanium and aluminum in the making of F80. Additionally, It gets active suspension that is powered by 48V actuators and parts of the double-wishbone suspension system are 3D-printed. The overall chassis stiffness is improved by 50% compared to its predecessor.
