Ferrari is getting ready to reveal its highly anticipated new flagship car, called the F250. This car will be the successor to the 2013 LaFerrari and represents a big step forward for the Italian supercar manufacturer. The F250 will feature hybrid technology and a powerful V8 engine, departing from the V12 engine used in its predecessor.
Although we don’t have many specific details about the engine yet, Ferrari’s focus on hybridization suggests that they will likely use an upgraded version of the 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine found in other Ferrari models. The Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo concept gave us a preview of what to expect, as it boasted a combined power output of over 900kW and 1100Nm.
By adopting a smaller engine, Ferrari can reduce the weight of the F250. This can be seen in the prototype’s carbon-fiber body panels and lightweight carbon-ceramic brakes. The F250 will also prioritize exceptional performance through optimized aerodynamics. It will feature a large rear wing and a front S-duct-style intake, which will not only enhance its appearance but also improve its performance.
Following Ferrari’s tradition of launching a new flagship hypercar every ten years, the F250 is expected to debut soon, possibly next year. As with previous flagship models, the F250 will be priced in the millions, making it a highly exclusive and sought-after car among Ferrari enthusiasts.
Leaked documents suggest that the F250 will be a limited-production car, similar to the LaFerrari. Initially, Ferrari will release a coupe version, followed by a targa or spider variant, and a track-focused edition.
Ferrari’s hypercar lineage has seen a continuous increase in performance over the years. It all began with the 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO, which had a power output of 294kW. This was followed by the 1987 Ferrari F40 with 352kW, the 1995 Ferrari F50 with 382kW, the 2002 Ferrari Enzo with 485kW, and finally, the 2013 LaFerrari with 708kW. If the F250 achieves the expected 900kW output, it will mark a significant leap in power compared to the 288 GTO, spanning four decades of Ferrari hypercars.
