Ferrari has a new flagship hypercar, and it’s called the F80. This wild creation fills the void left behind by the LaFerrari, and just 799 examples are bound for the production line, each starting from around $3.9 million before taxes. The vast majority of these will probably have pretty simple paint schemes but if customers want to make their F80s stand out, the online configurator reveals plenty of wild options available.
A large array of colors is available for the F80, split into Standard, Historical, Classic, Special, and Matt finishes. Some of these are nicer than others, but there are several that look quite bizarre, none more so than the Verde Masoni Opaco matt option you see below, or the Green Jewel paint featured up top. Other striking paint options include Blu Corsa and Rame Mica, a deep shade of pearlescent red that we think looks absolutely fantastic.

The Italian carmaker also offers a slew of liveries for the F80, most of which consist of two-tone racing stripes that stretch over the hypercar. One of the most eye-catching configurations we could come up with combines a Giallo Modena (yellow) stripe with a Rosso Dino (orange) one, although it does look quite odd. Indeed, none of the liveries look particularly nice and cheapen the overall aesthetic of the F80.
Customers can also opt to have their own choice of number applied to the doors and/or hood. Much like the 12Cilindri, all F80 models have a gloss black strip connecting the headlights but we would like to see the option of having it in body color.
Five different interior configurations are available, dominated by Alcantara and exposed carbon fiber surfaces. As the F80 is being marketed as a ‘1+1’, only the color of the driver’s seat can be changed, meaning the passenger seat can only ever be bathed in simple black Alcantara. However, for shoppers who open up their checkbooks, we’re sure some custom options will be available that aren’t included in the configurator.
From a performance standpoint, the F80 feels like a step above to the LaFerrari, even though it no longer has a screaming naturally-aspirated V12. Instead, Ferrari has fitted it with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 related to the engine of the 296 GTB and Le Mans-winning 499P. Supplementing this engine are three electric motors, resulting in a grand total of 1,184 hp. That’s a healthy amount more than the 950 hp of the LaFerrari but does fall short of the 1,258 hp of the new McLaren W1.
