FIRST LOOK: Ferrari F80 – 1200hp, 4WD, LaFerrari Successor!

This – deep breath – is the new Ferrari F80. The successor to LaFerrari. And by extension, a halo Ferrari supercar with a lineage that stretches back from LaFerrari, through Enzo, F50 and F40, to 288 GTO. No pressure, then…

It’s a once-a-decade occurrence, the LaFerrari having been revealed way back in 2013. That car was Ferrari’s first hybrid, with the electrically boosted V12 powertrain pumping 963hp to the rear wheels. Eleven years on, there’s more electrical assistance, more power, more driven wheels, much more aero, but fewer cylinders…

So, how does the new Ferrari F80 move the game on from LaFerrari, and stack up to its predecessors? Over to Top Gear’s Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix…

So, do you think the F80 lives up to its predecessors?

[TopCarsTV]

James May was right. Chasing Nurburgring laptimes ruins cars

[ForTehNguyen]

Laferrari is better for 6 reasons:
1) Cylinder #7
2) Cylinder #8
3) Cylinder #9
4) Cylinder #10
5) Cylinder #11
6) Cylinder #12

They’d be better forgetting performance to an extent and refocusing on aesthetic beauty. There’s only so much performance anyone needs and that probably peaked in the 90s. Timeless beauty is something we can never have enough of. Probably why many of us dream of older Ferrari over this.

It looks like it came straight out of LEGO Speed Champions.

Perfect for crawling around Knightsbridge or Monaco at 15mph.

“Beauty in the truth” is another way of saying “I wish we still had Pininfirina”

[kirkrussellolipas]

Is it me or does it feel like the Ferrari Daytona SP3 should have been the LaFerrari Successor over this....

[ImBarryScottCSS]

The holy trinity successors are going to be REAL disappointing.

[arefinlabib]

This isn't a LaFerrari successor
This is a modernization of the F40

[arfa]

At this point, just call Pininfarina and beg them to come back.

[ashutoshtewari]

Ferrari's designs have been in a freefall since Pininfarina's exit, losing the elegance and innovation that once defined the brand.

[ClintonK]

I love the retro vibe to the front end.

[Ricarodo]

How would you like your front air grills?

- Chicken coop.

[wsnumqk]

This will age so much faster than Laferrari.

[devitbenz]

v6 with electric motors: ok
extreme aerodynamic: ok
styling design: trash
it’s official ferrari has lost their touch on designing hypercar

[stephenhenion]

4.4 seconds faster than the La Ferrari.... That's a whole lot of SCOOT!!! NICE JOB FFFEEERRRAARRIII!!
