Ferrari' New Pride!
So Ferrari did a little something something, okay given it is not the fastest Ferrari ever made but for what it is, it is quite damn fast!
This Specific F80 that is set to launch in 2026 is merely a (3.0 liter V6 TurboPetrol but this one has 3 electric motors as well! Now I've not done that much research on it as I don't think there is that much information on it just yet!)
My Personal Opinion?
Well they didn't build this one for the looks of it, they built this one for functionality over looks. Now most people would say that there are a ton of Ferrari's that looks better and that is the truth of it but this really pulls me back to the older era of Ferrari's.
Doesn't it? With a twist of something modern!
I personally love the look of the front end!
The Specs!
This is what gets me!
The top speed is 350 KM/H might be you can get it to go faster! Of-course!
Now that 3.0 liter puts down a whopping 883 kW! That is absolutely insane! Compare that to a Audi 3.0liter V6? (I know you can't compare it but what does Ferrari do that makes them so spectacular? WHAT EXACTLY!
The car can go from 0-100 KM/H in 2.1 seconds! Taking it a little further the car can go from 0-200 KM/h in just 5.8 seconds! Absolutely insane if you ask me!
I wonder how long it will take to get to 350 KM/H? Must be under 30 seconds!
Along with that the car has an 8 Speed dual clutch transmission!
The Weight!
It's both heavy and light at the same time but something that moves at a pace of 0-200 KM/H in under 6 seconds has to be able to stick down on the ground right?
It weighs about 1575 kilograms but it almost has a fully carbon fibre body and an aluminum front end. So for something that weighs 1,6 tons and has pretty much a full carbon fibre body. Well that is something to consider right!
According to Ferrari it has the perfect balance of downforce and speed! It produces a 1000 kilograms of downforce at 250 KM/H, that should increase as it goes up to 350 KM/H! Now imagine you could find some way for that car to stick to the ground without having that tremendous downforce! Just imagine how fast it can go then!
The Independent Suspension!
Now that is another thing to consider!
The F80 has some of Ferrari's most advanced vehicle dynamic management systems fitted into it! The F80 has a fully independent suspension setup at each wheel and each suspension setup is actuated by its own 48v electric motors!
This means that you will get the best cornering from this car! The all time best! That also includes for the bumps in the roads and all that! Given if you drive this you will likely live in a country that has superior quality roads! You wont go driving on a pothole ridden road right?
The Hefty Price!
Now the price is what kills! It's a whopping R69 million (ZAR!) Just under $3.8 million USD! A whopping price to pay! But considering what you are getting it is something breathtaking!
If you want one you better act fast as there will only be 799 of them ever made! Somewhat of a odd number but I think the number 800 will be kept by Ferrari themselves! On a neat showroom somewhere!
