Ferrari built this for one person. Probably someone who owns three yachts. Maybe five.
The car is the HC25. It looks sharp, futuristic, like a sketch from the future that someone rushed into a mold. It is based on the F8 Spider. That model stopped being made in 2023, leaving us with a lingering question—isn’t it a shame they killed the last open-top Ferrari with a pure, unassisted V-8?
They didn’t kill the feeling though. Just the name.
Under that sleek nose sits the twin-turbo 39-liter V-8. Non-hybrid. Old school. It makes 710 horses. The HC25 hits 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds because torque is cheap when you have turbochargers helping it. Top speed is a polite 211 mph.
The Look Matters More
Forget the engine for a second. Look at the lines.
A black band runs across the whole car. From the fenders up to the engine cover. It slices the car into two halves. Visually, it works. It looks aggressive. There’s a milled aluminum bar on the doors that interrupts the black, holding the handles, giving the side profile a pause for breath.
“The HC25 divides the visual weight of the car into distinct, aggressive zones.”
The headlights are thin. Mean. Vertical DRLs drip down the front. It hints at the new flagship F80 without copying it. It feels connected but distinct.
Inside? Grey and yellow. Yellow brake calipers out back. Yellow accents on the seats shaped like boomerangs. It’s a theme, sure. But the cabin structure? Unchanged. Same dash, same buttons. They painted the furniture; they didn’t redesign the house.
Power Where It Belongs
The drivetrain is the same as the standard F8. Why fix it if it breaks nothing? The 568 pound-feats of torque goes to the rear wheels via that seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It snaps into gear. You feel it in your teeth.
Cost? Unknown. Ferrari Special Projects doesn’t talk money. You imagine seven figures, minimum. Maybe more. Rich people don’t read the invoice carefully. They just sign.
It is a beautiful, fast, bespoke ghost. Rare enough that you will likely only ever see this one picture. That makes it worth something.
Or maybe that makes it nothing more than a shiny rock with wheels. Who really knows?
