Watch a racing driver thrash a Ferrari F80 on a public road


Customer deliveries of the Ferrari F80 began last month. One of the first cars was delivered to the UK. Hopefully, these cars will be used and not just stored in a garage. Here’s Paul Rees demonstrating how they need to be driven.

This onboard POV was shot in Andalucia, Spain, where Paul can be seen thrashing the F80 around a twisty country road. The F80 looks mindbogglingly quick around corners. However, there’s something missing – a stimulating sound.

The F80’s twin-turbo V6 hybrid is no doubt extremely capable. But it lacks the hair-raising sound of a V12. As one commentator said, “it sounds like a LaFerrari screaming underwater.”

The F80 uses a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that produces 900 hp. The internal combustion engine is paired with an electric front axle and an F1-derived MGU-K, which adds another 300 hp, taking the total output to 1200 hp.
