Ferrari P80/C One-Off Supercar
Ferrari has unveiled its latest one-off supercar: the P80/C. Designed by the Flavio Manzoni-directed
Ferrari Styling Centre in conjunction with the car’s client, and with
the help of Ferrari’s very own engineering and aerodynamics team, the
P80/C is a forward-thinking interpretation of the automaker’s Sports
Prototype. Taking four years to develop — the longest development period for any
Ferrari one-off ever — the P80/C is a pure track car, based on the
Ferrari 488 GT3. Using the GT chassis, this one-off brings the cabin
forward, allowing for an elongated rear which creates a more aggressive
aesthetic and feel; the tinted wrap-around windscreen is a clear
shoutout to Ferrari’s Sports Prototype. As a track car, performance was the main focus, so Ferrari did away
with unnecessary features such as large obvious headlights or
taillights. Utilizing extensive research on aerodynamics, the P80/C is
five percent more efficient overall. The body is entirely constructed of
carbon fiber, which is left bare in particular technical parts of the
car, the remainder of which is all finished in Ferrari’s signature Rosso
Vero. At the heart of the car sits a 3.9L twin-turbo V8 engine,
boasting 660 horsepower. (hypebeast)
