2024 Ferrari F80 - LaFerrari replacement (F250)

[Jump_Ace]

They really couldn't name it something besides the Ford super duty pickup that's been around for decades?

With the looks of it, you could fit an F250 in the frunk.

After watching a couple videos on these cars I’ve decided the W1 looks better than the F80. And I don’t even like the W1.

I have mixed feelings on this one. I'm not sold yet on the front end, that black "unibrow" seems a bit odd to me. I understand it on the 12Cilindri (which I'm not a big fan of) but here, I don't quite get the reasoning behind it. Other than that, the rest of the car looks impressive. That being said, hate or love it, it most certainly has that "this is something very special - presence" which I don't get enough of with the W1.

I guess now we only need to wait for Porsche to complete the set so we can compare old vs new trinity.

If Porsche manages to bring out the 918's succesor and have it look close to the Mission X concept, it will blow both the F80 and W1 out of the water on looks alone.

That would be cool to see. I hope they use it as inspiration for the successor of that car.

Side note, the more I look at the side profile of the F80, maybe it's just me but speaking of inspiration, the lines reminds me a bit of the Ferrari Vision GT that was released on GT7. Especially because of the wheel arches that are quite pronounced and the roof lines along with the door panel shape 🤔

V6 is lame for your flagship "hypercar", especially when you put your incredible naturally aspirated V12 in your ****ing SUV but not this.

It's won le mans twice, it's got credentials at least.

Watched some footage of this in motion over the weekend. I assume it was from the Ferrari Clienti event at Imola.

I'm really not sure of it's looks now. That Daytona Plexiglass nose just looks odd and it's shape is also a bit slab sided, especially at the front as it pans passed the camera.

You don't so much notice it from the in-studio photos with studio lighting, but the way in which the headlights are integrated into the black strip, just doesn't work well in natural light. The black strip should have been the same height as the lights instead of being taller and having thin strips of black above them.

in motion from 1:20, and yeah not a looker

I still like it somehow haha

I'll be fair, both LaFerrari and the Enzo, neither were lookers at the time, to me anyway. We accept them now, I think partially because much worse designs have come out and we know where the barrel can be scraped. Enzo was an F1 body with lights and LaFerrari looked a bit out of sorts I guess? Plus if I squint it looks like a red Huayra.

But I think the most beautiful Ferraris of the last 25 years have been the 458 and the 296, even though the latter still has a rather busy looking back end.

This isn't a looker either, but I suppose that won't matter when it's being pushed to Vmax on the autobahn, or being crashed into a wall, or being hidden away in a garage.

The black strip is definitely a missed opportunity. From the front side, it makes the bumper area look taller.
