The Ferrari F80, successor to the LaFerrari, made a striking debut at Times Square in New York, kicking off its highly anticipated U.S. tour. As one of Ferrari’s most advanced hypercars, the F80’s presence in the heart of Manhattan turned heads and set the stage for its journey across the country.
Over the coming weeks, the F80 will be showcased at select Ferrari dealerships throughout the United States, giving enthusiasts an up-close look at this automotive marvel. Ferrari previously hinted at a U.S. event for its latest flagship hypercar, and this Times Square appearance confirms its commitment to creating buzz in the American market.
Ferrari is producing only 799 examples of the F80, making it one of the most exclusive hypercars in the world. Starting at $4 million, the price has already climbed to over $6 million in some cases due to limited availability and high demand. A significant number of these will find homes in the U.S., further solidifying the country’s reputation as a leading market for luxury and performance vehicles.
The F80 combines cutting-edge technology with Ferrari’s racing heritage. At its heart is a mid-mounted 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, delivering an impressive 900 hp. The car also features an electric front axle and an F1-inspired MGU-K system, adding another 300 hp for a total output of 1200 hp. This hybrid powertrain enables the F80 to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in a blistering 2.15 seconds, with a top speed of 217 mph.
As the F80 embarks on its U.S. tour, its New York appearance is a fitting start for a car that exemplifies Ferrari’s vision for the future of high-performance engineering.
