On Ferrari Friday’s, William Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace will be discussing all things Ferrari and interviewing people that live and breath the Ferrari brand.
FERRARI HAS UNVEILED THE F80 AND WROTE A NEW chapter in the history of legendary supercars bearing the badge. The F80 will be produced in a limited run of just 799 examples and joins the pantheon of icons such as the GTO, F40, and LaFerrari by showcasing the best that the Maranello-based marque has achieved in terms of technology and performance.
Ever since 1984, Ferrari has periodically released a new supercar that represented the pinnacle of cutting-edge technology and innovation of its era and that was destined to become enshrined
in popular culture. Intended for the most discerning clients of the brand, these cars immediately became legends in their own lifetime, making an indelible mark not only on the history of Ferrari, but on the history of the automobile itself. The latest addition to this family, the F80, is tasked with embodying the ultimate in engineering for an internal-combustion-engined vehicle and employs all the most advanced technological solutions, including latest-generation hybrid technology for the powertrain, to achieve unparalleled levels of power and torque. Every
aspect of the architecture is conceived to maximize performance, from the carbon-fiber chassis and extreme aerodynamic solutions far beyond anything seen before in a road legal car, to the new
active suspension optimized to let the driver wring every ounce of performance from the car on the track.
Unlike anything else in the current supercar world, the F80 combines all these attributes with uncompromising levels of usability on the road, where it can be driven with ease. This ability shaped
every choice made in terms of technology and architecture to achieve the goal, which at first sight seems impossible, of creating a track-oriented supercar that’s just as drivable as a production range model.
As with all the supercars preceding it, the F80 marks the start of a new design era for Ferrari, with a more tense, extreme design language accentuating its race-bred soul. There are clear references to cues borrowed from aerospace, which underscore the cutting-edge technology and elegant engineering of each and every technical solution. But there are also nods to its hallowed progenitors which clearly declare the illustrious lineage of the F80.

[00:00:00] As part of Ferrari Fridays, William Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace will be discussing all things Ferrari and interviewing people that live and breathe the Ferrari brand. Topics range from road cars to racing, drivers to owners, as well as auctions, private sales, and trends in the collector market.
Hello everyone and welcome back to the Ferrari Marketplace channel. Yes, it’s been a while. Yes, I apologize. Yes, I know I said I was going to have a lot more stuff coming, but you know what? I got crazy busy. So, now that the temperatures are cooling, I’m going to I have some free time, so to speak. I guess that’s kind of maybe not so true, but now that I’m going to be indoors a lot more, uh, I have the time and we can start nailing out some more of these podcasts to keep you guys entertained throughout the winter.
Because as we all know, especially up here in the north, northeast, northwest, it gets cold, [00:01:00] it gets snowy, and you really can’t take your cars out unless you’re a maniac, got all wheel drive, or you just want to have some fun. But why not? You know what? It’s a car. Car’s a car, right? So, but anyways, really want to welcome everyone back.
I appreciate you guys listening. We appreciate all the support we’re getting. Big shout out to the motoring podcast network. Big shout out to the exotic car marketplace. Big shout out to the garage style magazine. Really big shout out to Mr. Beaty and Slot Mods if you haven’t checked out Slot Mods check out the video just did on it We dropped it.
It’s on the channel on the Garage 65 channel and also to Hot Shoe Studios to Tony Thank you very much my man. But anyways, onward and upward Today’s episode we are talking about the one the only the successor The one in the lineage of many, many cars that Ferrari’s put out. The 288 GTO, F40, F50, then we went into the Enzo, then the LaFerrari, and [00:02:00] now what do we have?
Thrrrrrrr Double! The F 80. Yes. Ferrari dropped their newest and latest hypercar today, the Ferrari F 80, keeping in line with kind of how all the names go, which I really like. You know, they could have came up with some goofy name, like La Ferrari, Ferrari, the Ferrari, which it kind of grows on you. But anyways, I, I like that going kind of at 40.
F50. Bam. Let’s go with F80. Yeah, you got a couple in there in between, but I like the continuation and keeping that lineage going. I really, I kind of dig it. So, anyways, first impressions, me personally, love it. I think the thing is awesome. It, uh, doesn’t, you know, I guess if you look a lot of these hyper cars that come out, you know, they all have the same look to them, the same kind of style, everything like that.
Now, of course, you have to understand, as everyone knows, a lot of these, the design aspect of things is aerodynamic driven. So you kind of have to all of a sudden reverse engineer, so to [00:03:00] speak about your aerodynamics, what do you want to achieve performance wise? So then what do you do? Okay, here’s what we want to achieve.
Okay. What do we need to do? Drag all that kind of stuff. So, but what I really, really dig and you can see it as soon as you, you know, when you start looking at it, get those first images. It’s not, I want to say you’re spitting, you know, image replica of it, but you can see the heavy, heavy, heavy influence.
The Le Mans winning 499 car has on it. It’s got that it’s, it’s low, it’s why the cockpit’s a little bit more narrow than the body, you know, it’s not going out to the edges. It’s got a really, really cool look to it. I really dig it. It’s definitely going to stand out when wherever at the lucky bastards that get to buy one.
Uh, hopefully they drive them and take them out. Uh, but you know, it’s just got a really. Really muscular mean look to it when you’re staring at it. You know, it’s uh, the silhouette and everything like that It’s just got that very 499 esque look to it, which is really cool. Now the one thing you will see in the front They kind of pull it [00:04:00] off of the new 12 cylinder If I pronounce that right, probably not.
But anyways, they got that dark color, the band going across to replicate from the Daytona back in the day, which had just kind of a tidbit. Everyone else, it was never officially called the Daytona from the factory. The writers and media nicknamed that and dubbed it the Daytona after obviously the 24 hours Daytona and it competing it and saw it actually, that thing came out of the factory.
It was just a three 65. So, but. Media dubbed it so but anyways you look at the front and you’ll see they’re going across and for those of you that don’t know that going across what happened was or what it is is the European cars that were built or when they built the 365 that actually the designer they put as a plexiglass it went all the way across it was clear and actually put these really cool like little lines and everything like that.
You check it out because you know, the headlights were reset, recessed in to the front there. So the plexiglass went all the way across the front. So that’s where they look. But the [00:05:00] problem was is here in the, uh, old lucky USA we are because the morons in, uh, the, uh, in Washington DC decided, Oh no, you know, your headlights are too low, whatnot, because your headlights had to be a certain height or like that.
So. The 365 and that stuff here is they were pop ups. So once they popped up, they met the minimum requirement for height wise. So to kind of get that same look, you know, they would paint that, that color or whatnot to kind of give it that look. So hence that’s why. But anyways, back to the F80. So you look at the front.
You know, it’s really cool and obviously there’s a lot of the active aero going on. There’s a lot of that, you know, going, but you know, it’s, it’s not, it doesn’t jump out at you. It doesn’t have like all these little flap things and all this stuff like that. It’s all kind of tucked underneath the nose and that.
So which is really cool. And a lot of stuff’s underneath. So it’s not really kind of overpowering the car having all these little, Doodads and gadgets and whatnot on the front and all these little lines breaking up the whole, I guess you’d say, view of it because you got all these little flaps popping up and into that stuff, you know, a la, like, if you [00:06:00] look at Pagani’s and whatnot like that, you know, they got all these flaps that pop up and everything like that to help control it, uh, aerodynamics and that, but the problem is it really kind of messes up the lines, but that’s just me personally.
So, now going around, like I said, the, you know, the, uh, The greenhouse you got the cockpit. It’s really cool. How it’s kind of shrunk into the car I guess you don’t speak so you got shoulders to it going all the way down So it’s not like you have smooth on the side It’s really neat and then when you open up the doors, you’ll see the tub to it Which is really really cool get ahead of myself though because that’s we’re getting in the interior But the only one drawback I have with this when you get into the back gas and looking at it It looks like a C8.
Yes, it does. It’s one of my first impressions. I saw it go. Wow, that looks very C8 ish Um, I think there could have been something they could have done with the lights maybe Uh, the taillights something along those lines kind of get it away, but it’s got a very very far Chevrolet C8 esque look to it. Now that’s just [00:07:00] me I don’t know.
And it’s kind of one of those things. Now I mentioned it whatnot. People can’t, can’t unsee it. That’s kind of like that new Bugatti turbulent lawn, whatever it is. If you look at it, put it up next to a pig snout, take a picture of a pig in a snout, put up the new Bugatti next to it. You cannot unsee that.
It looks like a pig snout. So, but anyways, so it’s very CA desk. So, but it still looks damn sexy. And again, that back wing is active arrow. So it’s going to either, you know, for breaking, it’s going to be an airbrake. It’s going to tilt down. It’s going to level out for top speed, everything like that and go around.
So it’s really cool. It’s neat tricks. This is obviously the. The, uh, generation or genre or whatever you wanna call it, the uh, what the, what we’re in now with all the electronics and everything on these cars, you know, and it just, you know what, it just kind of scares me down the road though. I’ll be dead.
So, um, but people that are gonna have to deal with this, you know, you look at your, your pre-war car, your brass air cars, you stuff all the way up to [00:08:00] the, you know, eighties, even into the nineties, you know. You can still work on them yourself technically, because it was very basically your straightforward car.
You know, you started getting into having, you know, your on board computer to do diagnostics and that, but it was super, super basic. So you could still work on the car yourself. Get in there with the wrench and ratchet and all that. These cars this day and age, starting in the 2000s and whatnot, forget about it, because you’ll screw it up.
And, uh, obviously, that’s almost done, like, yeah, you’re gonna get for performance and whatnot. Yeah, it’s supposed to, you know, improve things, but it goes along the lines where these, Manufacturers want to control every aspect of these cars, you know, not just selling it, but then after sale maintenance, everything like that, beyond warranty and stuff, because you have some of these guys, well, the warranty will get voided if you don’t take it to an authorized dealer.
Which is insane. I mean, that’s just, I don’t know. I just don’t understand that, you know? And so, but anyway, so look at the car back to the F80. So exterior wise, everything like that. It’s [00:09:00] stunning. I really like it. I’m sure there’s going to be other people that hate it, but that’s all it is because everyone’s entitled to their own opinion.
But I said, like I said, I really liked the fact is it’s separating itself away from what some of these other ones have come out with. Now the AMG one, Came out so to speak recently, but IE that means it was, you know, customer deliveries, but we’ve been seeing that car since what, 2017. Um, you know, McLaren just came out with the W1, but they kind of mismatched in there the Senna.
And the 750 and whatnot. So you can see a lot of influences there. So, but McLaren, technologically great car performance, everything like that. But, you know, there’s a reason they’re nicknamed McCarrens. So, um, but you know, so that’s what I really love about the Ferrari. It’s kind of separating itself away from it.
Big jump, big step away from LaFerrari itself too, which is great to see. Now, supposedly Porsche is coming out with also another one here somewhere. It’s kind of, [00:10:00] you know, um, I really haven’t heard much about it. Maybe you guys have, but supposedly Porsche also is coming out. Now it’s interesting to see what Lamborghini is going to do.
Cause now obviously Lamborghini has got their Rovalto. It’s awesome car. Um, to having some gremlin issues, a little, you know, stuff like that, growing pains to be in a new car. But, with them entering into the WEC next year, you almost gotta wonder, are they gonna drop some sort of hyper, hyper car? On the public, you know, something to go online to what they have that we see.
So it’d be interesting to see that would be really cool to see Lamborghini jump into that hyper car game. Um, you know, for what they build, because, you know, they like to really, I would say, break the mold, but push the boundaries, you know, and get very bold and daring with their designs or they, which is fantastic.
Um, you know, but here’s the thing, like with the Ferrari, every like, you know, these things, they’re all going to smaller motors and turbos and everything like that. So, Let’s [00:11:00] get into the F80 and it’s mechanicals. So we got going on there. Yes, sadly it is a v6 So, no V12, no V10, no V8. Yes, it is a twin turbo V6.
Now, the one cool thing about this is, it’s basically the same motor that is in the 296 that just came out, which is an impressive, impressive car. Obviously, you know, it’s still half a million dollars, but what you get power and performance wise out of that V6 is unbelievable. So, it’s, obviously, it’s running the twin turbos, but the twin turbos are electronic.
So, they have electric power to spool them up quicker. So basically it, I’m not going to say a hundred percent. It completely eliminates turbo lag, but it’s pretty dang close that you really even, you know, normal person driving it. They won’t even know that there’s any lag or what’s in that. Now you can get your guys out there that used to driving performance cars, race cars, they might feel that little twinge in their foot and [00:12:00] whatnot, but you know, they race cars and they, they, every little slight thing, You know, they’re bred to know that, but no person driving this, you know, and the, uh, the twat that can afford it to buy it, you know, the, you know, uh, he won’t know because it’s clueless.
So, you know, he might drive the thing 500 feet, you know, just to say, look at me, I own this. He’ll drive it from where it was, comes off to the, uh, transporter under the show field, or even if that may not even drive at 10 feet. So. That’s sad, but it is what it is. It’s where we live in cars, 3 million plus.
So obviously you gotta have very, very deep pockets for this. People that buy this car obviously had to be selected by Ferrari. So individuals that are selected to buy this car obviously have many, many, many other Ferraris. I’ll give you a point. In fact, Mr. David Lee, love that guy. He’s awesome. If you ever get a chance to cross paths with him, go up and talk to him.
Introduce yourself. David’s a phenomenal [00:13:00] guy. Super, super nice. And he will just tell you, he’s a super, super guy, not pretentious whatsoever. Super nice, willing to talk to you about everything and anything Ferrari. But again, he did a cool video because the people that got selected, they got sent a key for it.
And what, so he did a video on it. Which is really cool, so I guess that’s, and I don’t know if they knew they were getting it, I have no idea how that part of it works, uh, you know, I’m not in that boat, I don’t have that kind of money, um, but it’s um, it was really cool to see, but anyways, so if those select few, they’re gonna be able to get this car, hopefully they, they take him out, they drive him, I know Mr.
David Lee will. Uh, and get it out there in front of the public and let people see it and enjoy, you know, just enjoy it. The cool thing would be if they went the route like Mr. Hamilton does up there with his cars. You know, that was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. When in Columbus at triple F collections, the event, the event, or whatever I call it, Mr.
Hamilton had his cars there [00:14:00] and he lets people sit in them. The lines are, I mean, in his Bugattis, everything’s Bugattis doors open. Just get in the line. You get in there. You can sit in there for, I don’t know if he had a time down there. If you like similar for 30 seconds or whatnot, it didn’t seem like it, but Hey, people get in there.
They could take selfies, photos, whatnot, everything like that, which is awesome to see. Cause again, it’s a car. Let people enjoy it too as well. You know, you’re in blast and that’s what I think. Uh, Mr. Hamilton’s a fantastic guy. And again, him and Tommy, super, super nice guys. Don’t ever be afraid to go up and talk to those guys.
They will talk to you. Hey, you know, they’re not going to be pretentious about it. So if you haven’t listened to this podcast there, uh, Mr. Hamilton, they love to come up and chat with you some more. Personal just to kind of get to know you, uh, jump on the podcast. We’ll have a chat. So, but if you have to get this, we’ll see if you can, uh, maybe we can set something up.
You’re just in Chicago. I’m here in Cleveland. You’re nothing but a four and a half, five hour drive away. So, but anyways, back to the F80. So we’re getting into the cards, twin turbo V6, three electric motors. The [00:15:00] uh, V6 itself is putting out la, just a little under 900 horsepower, like 884 horsepower. Um, roughly in that neighborhood, 800, between 880 and 885.
That’s what they’re stating. Now, what’s the interesting thing is, because being the fact it’s the same motors in the 296, it’s pumping out almost 237 more horsepower than the 296. Same pretty much motor and that, but they, you know, worked their magic and they’re able to squeeze it out. Could you imagine if they were tweaking that and that 296 and pumping out that kind of horsepower on that?
Which, my guess, if you got someone that knows how to operate, you know, uh, ECU management, everything like that, and have them plug in and do it, I’m sure you could probably figure it out pretty quickly and how to jump it up there. My guess it would void your warranty. Uh, and Ferrari’s got it! Outstanding warranty on their new cars.
I mean, it’s unbelievable what you get on that. I want to say I think is now it’s seven years unlimited mileage because they know these people aren’t gonna go nuts on mileage. Um, and bumper to bumper, everything like that. I mean, loaner [00:16:00] cars, the whole nine yards. So kudos to Ferrari for standing behind their product in regards to stuff like that.
I mean, that’s unbelievable. So, but anyways, so twin turbo V six. So you got the, you got the V6, turbo spooling up, going and thing, you got about 885 horsepower roughly. So then you jump in with your three motors. You got two in the front and you got one in the rear, in the rear axle. Your two front ones and that stuff puts your total output to about 1, 200 horsepower.
To about 2. 1 seconds, 0 to 60. It’s roughly in that range. Two seconds. So, um, you know, it’s, it’s rather impressive, I must say, but what helps is all wheel drive because the electric motor is in the front, motor in the back, so you got your grip, you’re just going at it, going at it, going at it. Now with the electric motors on the front of that, you do have torque vectoring, so in regards to that stuff, you don’t have to have rear wheel steering on this because it’s Plenty going, you know what you have there And it wouldn’t be even actually necessary No So and it saves a nice bunch of weight [00:17:00] because you’re not putting steering mechanisms as enough on the back wheels So it’s really cool to see that so those things are powering up gets going now the one thing this does not have Like some of the other ones came out.
There is no like full EV mode. There isn’t somewhere where you could drive safe Four miles, eight miles in an electric only. Nope, doesn’t have it, which I think is kind of cool. So some people might frown upon that because you got these guys. I mean, it’s like a neat party trick though. You know, it’s, you know, as they say, you know, you can start it up and go in your electric boat.
So you’re not waking up your neighbors or whatnot. Some along those lines. But it is what it is, you know, hey just have at it just go for it So I think that was kind of interesting. They said F that we’re not gonna do that It’s just hey you get going and right at it. I said I saw this real cool Short on YouTube the other day.
It was a guy. He had a Lamborghini It looked like he was a doctor because he does scrubs but someone had left a note [00:18:00] I don’t know if it was a Murcielago or Diablo, uh, what he had, or maybe it was, I think it was an Aventador. Uh, I don’t know what kind of exhaust he had on it, but obviously it was pretty loud.
He’s in a parking garage by and far. Someone left a note that says, you know, to whom it may, to the person or individual owns the Lamborghini. You know, you’re leaving early and your car is very loud, blah, blah, blah. So it showed him actually pushing the car. out to a spot so then it wasn’t loud and whatnot.
It was great. It was like, that’s cool, man. It’s being real considerate. It’s like, you know, uh, appreciate that much respect for him. But anyways, back to the car. So we’re getting to the powertrain got to all that. So you’re putting down impressive power numbers. So let’s go into the cockpit. Now they have, they have a designated original design thoughts was we’re going to do a single senior.
It was like, no, it just really doesn’t fit what for, you know, that ain’t it. So they call it plus one. Which, which is a little baffling. It’s, um, 1. 5, whatever it is. Look up how they state it. It’s kind of humorous. Basically, it is, I mean, there’s a passenger seat, but what it is, it’s [00:19:00] staggered just a smidge behind the driver’s seat, uh, to kind of give you that feel like they’re not right next to you and everything like that.
But what that does though is, you can actually get things closer to each other so you can kind of shrink that cockpit a little bit. Uh, width wise, because you kind of get things tucked in a little bit tighter. Now, the one cool thing is Also, I say one thing, the one cool, another cool thing is the fact is all these ones you see, they got the screen, they got it on the Pro Sangway, they had it, you know, all these other ones that started in the FF and that stuff, you know, so the patch you can’t see is going to change the screen.
Now there’s a configurator on there, and if I understood the configurator, you can delete that and not have that if you don’t want that. If you don’t want your patch, you’re dealing with that stuff or dicking around and touching, you know, which I personally do, I’d say get rid of it. They don’t need to see what’s going on.
Tough shit. So, um, But anyways, it’s, it’s neat that you can have that option. So another thing is too is it’s two different colored seats. Now, again, you want to go [00:20:00] and spend and waste hours and hours and hours going to the Friar website. They have an F80 configurator up. And you can just go nuts. I got on there.
I was trying to pick this, you know, learn everything about it and get all the notes and everything. And I think I was on the configurator for about two and a half hours, just doing different colors, doing everything like that. There’s a lot of options. It’s really cool. I mean, you can’t go too nuts in regards to like, you know, carbon fiber add ons and everything like that.
There are some, but. There’s so many different color combinations. Color combinations you can do with the seat, the seatbelts and stitching. Um, I mean, it’s just, it’s really cool. All your exterior color choices and everything like that. You know, it’s, it’s awesome. I tell you, I mean, even if you’re not the biggest Ferrari fan, go on there and do it because it’s a lot of fun.
There’s a lot of different configurations you can do. You can get nuts with it. It’s really cool. The one thing I really liked, Also was for the wheels. You can go full carbon fiber if you want. Uh, but you can keep the lip like silver. [00:21:00] But you can also get just basically standard, you know, aluminum wheels.
I believe they’re aluminum. Uh, on there so they’re silver. Go back to how it used to be. You know, this trend with black wheels got, I don’t know how long ago it started. It was, you know, some years ago. Yeah. I don’t know if it was, you know, making it look meaner or menacing, but I think it also had more to do with hide and break dust.
Uh, but it was a trend and all of a sudden it went all the way down to, you know, SUVs and whatnot, you order it from the factory and buy it, it’s got black wheels, but it’s really cool to see that they’re going back to having silver. Silver wheels. Now, I wouldn’t necessarily go all the way back to doing what they used to do in the 80s and 90s, doing chrome.
Yeah, leave that back then. Leave it alone. Leave it back to history. Silver, though, looks cool. It gives really that cool contrast to it. Uh, it was nice to see, you know, Matt Armstrong. Uh, I believe it was on his, uh, Nissan, his GTR he did, he kept them silver and it just, it’s very, I don’t want to say retro, but it’s, it gives it a really kind of different look compared to what everyone’s kind of used to with the [00:22:00] black wheels.
So it’s cool to see that, uh, but then you get into like seat colors, y’all can tear all this stuff. I’m telling you. Go on the website and just start messing around with the Farquhar configurator. Now, the other, funny thing I thought with the configurators when you get done, there’s the option to send it to a dealer.
To your local dealer. Now, mind you, all these cars are sold. Mind you, these things are 3 million plus dollars. Uh, but you had the option, when you get done, to save it, send it to a dealer. I’m curious to see what happens. I set mine to a dealer. I want to see if I get a phone call. Cause I mean here, it’s kind of one of those scenarios that, okay, you have something that’s screwed around.
I mean, is it going to waste a lot of these guys time salesman? Oh, I’m sure. I’m sure they’re going to get super annoyed cause they’re going to just get these jokers just doing, you know, 50, 60 different configurations a day and just sending each one to the dealer. You know, so, but you know what, it’s fun.
And it’s not like the dealer’s got to like do any [00:23:00] work and produce a car. Cause they’re all sold. So what’s the difference? Let people have some fun, but I’m curious to see what they do. Do they take to the point where they take down the information? Hey, this, they could maybe buy, you know, a new SF 90 or something, which, you know, people are just not buying, um, and resales gone in the tank.
Um, so I don’t know, this is kind of, kind of fun little tidbit, but like I said, definitely check out the configurator. You can spend, you can waste a lot of your day and be careful because if you start some point in the morning and you’re at work. Before you know it’s going to be time to go home and you got absolutely nothing done But you did configure about 50 different types of ferrari f80s.
You could buy option and color wise So was it productive in my mind? Yes your boss probably not so much So but anyways, so getting back to the car So again, you know, my impression, I love it. I think it’s fantastic. I can’t wait to see what out on the road driving kind of get some impressions. Uh, cool to see what some of these guys do on it.
