Ferrari p80/ c Continue The new Ferrari is conceived as a completely original interpretation of the Sports Prototype concept - it's the spirit of the last one-off Ferrari: P80/C. If that sounds like a challenge to create, it certainly is; but this is one that Ferrari Styling Centre, directed by Flavio Manzoni, combined with the Ferrari Engineering and Aerodynamics team, were interested in tackling. Working hand-in-hand with the car's client, they created a new one-off Hero Car with a unique soul. Here, in addition to the images of the car, you can follow the development of the car step by step, both through the drawings and video interviews of some Ferrari people who contributed to the birth of the P80/C. The short was to create a modern sports prototype inspired by some of the most iconic models in Ferrari history, such as the 330 P3/P4 and Dino 206 S 1960s - very radical cars in their time, and instant icons. Although conceived as a track car, their influence extends far beyond the racing circuit, inspiring a whole series of dramatically elegant road Ferraris. The P80/C project had the longest development period of any Ferrari one-off to date, and began work on it back in 2015. Why take so long? Because the team has made such a huge investment in research, both in terms of design and technology. Every element of performance and aerodynamics has been carefully analyzed, in a process that sets this car apart from previous Ferrari times. Such designs are usually stylistic interpretations of the current model in the Ferrari range. The P80/C is very different: it is a clean track car where peak performance is a major factor. This not only inspired the designers in terms of style, but also led them to choose the Ferrari 488 GT3 as the basis. Not only does this racing legend have extremely high performance, it also has a longer wheelbase (50 mm over 488 GTB) that has given the design team an extra creative dimension. The Ferrari 488 has a classic layout with a cab located in the middle of the car, if viewed from the side. The GT chassis, by contrast, allows for a more cab-forward accent, with an elongated rear, lending the car a powerfully aggressive character. The unique design of the P80/C has a strong and clear connection with Ferrari racing classics like the 330 P3/P4, Dino 206 S and 250 LM. The striking shape of the wedge dominates the view of the car's side at the front end. The curved, muscular shapes of the wings are accentuated by butts that merge into the side air intakes that power the engine, giving the impression that the cabin merges as one with the body. The front part is also cleverly separated, visually speaking, from the back. The toned windshield wraps clearly refer to the iconic Ferrari sports prototypes of the past, while flying supports To the roof seems to make the glasshouse resemble a racer's visor helmet. Since the P80/C is designed only to use the track, its designers had the freedom to dispense with the elements that are needed in a road car. For example, the headlights have actually disappeared - in fact, they have been reduced to simple slits that resemble an air intake in the grille 330 P3/P4. The same touch is repeated in the back of the car: the rear spoiler - which is extremely wide to maximize its aerodynamic characteristics - includes two taillights that seem to look like vents perfectly reflecting the front design. The architecture of the catamaran style of the rear part means that the rear body is almost non-existent, which allows the fully visible chassis of the car. There's a simple grille to help take heat from the engine compartment, as well as a prominent rear diffuser that almost seems to float on your back. Meanwhile, the concave engine cover with aluminum louvres is another clear reference to the Ferrari 330 P3/P4. The P80/C is entirely made of carbon fiber, which remains bare wherever the parts have a purely technical function. In contrast, the main body is painted in bright red under the name Rosso Vero - the name chosen by the client, proving that his loyalty to the tradition of Ferrari Sports Prototype extends to the color. On March 29, 2019 Ferrari entered service in 2015, the P80/C is the first Ferrari one-off track car. It is based on 488GT3, but does not adhere to the rules of racing. The collector, reportedly in the Hong Kong region, is about to become very happy. Interesting fact: The fall of millions on this Ferrari P80/C bought one collector access to the secret design studio of the company and its board of directors for four years, as well as a free short film produced by the dealer. Such handholding by supercar overlords in Maranello, and the delight of the customer in making their bow, can actually be more powerful than the car itself. Money negotiates under the 488GT3 racing car chassis, where the design and engineering team had freedom from the otherwise tight restrictions of the FIA. Ferrari says it is the first dedicated track car it has ever created as a one-off, although the P80/C does not reach the same extremes as the FXX K. What it offers, however, is the right to stay in this owner's garage somewhere in Hong Kong. Without the detailed specifications that usually accompany the new Ferrari, all we can do is look at the carbon fiber of the body at bay. Obviously, the ferrari people visualized a beautifully humpbacked 330 P3 and P4 racing cars, along with the Dino 206 S, while sketching this car. We see a striking resemblance to another Italian from this era, that stunning mid-engine coupe with a splash of Argentinian Ferrari will not patronize De Tomaso Pantera in public, but he definitely looked in that direction like everyone else since. Por. Photo Ferrari Among the modern Ferraris, the P80/C is almost a track-only version of the SP38, which debuted last year, the roadgoing 488GTB special purchased by a young Swiss. Notice the T-wing, a miniature spoiler just in the air from the roof that Ferrari borrowed from their F1 cars and is supposed to reduce turbulence by creating an extremely limited separation bubble before the air slips through the lower wing and upper wing. The diffuser sticks out a few inches behind the body of the car, which includes two flying supports that are not as dramatic as the Ford GT. However, every time the body panel merges with the wing on the roof, while creating the most delicate air cavities, there are reasons to celebrate. The interesting thing is that Ferrari will not show us. The owner doesn't want to push the car to the limit all the time, although the GT3's twin-turbo V-8 is unlimited from its 600-hp racing specification (the figure is 710 horsepower, at least as at 488 Pista). So all the aero bits snap off. 18-inch central wheels swap with custom 21s. Sometimes, and with whom it didn't happen? - you just want to flip the switch in the garage and admire every curve. There's a price for it, and it's worth it. This content is created and supported by a third party and is imported to this page to help users provide their email addresses.

This one-time Ferrari P80/C is indeed a 488 GT3 racing car under its absolutely stunning bodywork and it was ordered by a very special Ferrari customer who still remains anonymous. 19Bozzy92 on YouTube happened to catch him turning laps recently in Monza, apparently as part of a video shoot, as a Porsche camera car chased him. Yes, the irony here is not lost on us. All things are considered, the action is quite sedate but it is still a joy to see this machine in action. The video description says that this clip was filmed at the end of the day, and that the car may have already pushed a little harder around the famous Italian chain when the cameras are not installed on the SUV Porsche was present. As it stands, we see a few moments when the Ferrari driver carries a skinny pedal, although we suspect that this unique Prancing Horse is capable of much more. Gallery: Ferrari P80/C At Monza 6 Photos This gorgeous track-only supercar originated back in 2015 and was designed to pay homage to The Ferrari racing cars of the 1960s, notably the Dino 206 S and the legendary 330 P4. Power is not known, although under custom bodywork is almost certainly a version The 3.9-liter V8 found in the 488 GTE. As for this bodywork, its fabulously arched wings and continuous glass wraps give Ferrari a very very very A futuristic shape that still manages to carry a retro feel. The massive front splitter and rear wing use fruity air pressure to shove the P80 onto the tarmac, while a large S-channel in the hood and louvers in the wings further control the airflow around the car.
