The new project has been named HC25 and was developed by the Special Projects division, which specializes in producing unique vehicles based on the brand's production models. The car combines modern design with a classic technical concept — beneath the body lies a traditional gasoline V8 without a hybrid system.
Such projects hold a special place in Ferrari's lineup. They allow wealthy clients to obtain a vehicle with a unique appearance and individualized details, while retaining the proven production platform and specifications.
Design with an Emphasis on Modern Forms
The appearance of the HC25 stands out noticeably from Ferrari's standard models of recent years. When creating the car, designers used elements characteristic of the brand's contemporary supercars, including the new 12Cilindri and F80. The vehicle received an elongated front section, slim lighting, and complex body geometry.
One of the most distinctive details is a black decorative element in the front part of the body, visually uniting the headlights. A similar line appears behind the cabin, emphasizing the width of the rear fenders.
Additional attention has been paid to the details:
- hidden door handles are integrated into an aluminum decorative line;
- the primary body color is executed in the Moonlight gray shade;
- yellow elements are used on the brake calipers and brand emblems;
- the interior mirrors the body's color scheme.
The cabin retains the architecture of the production Ferrari F8 Spider model, yet features bespoke trim and unique color accents. In particular, yellow inserts on the seats echo the body's lines.
The Foundation of the Project — Ferrari F8 Spider
The technical foundation for the HC25 is the Ferrari F8 Spider — one of the brand's last supercars equipped with a purely gasoline V8 engine without electric assistance. For many brand enthusiasts, this holds special significance, as modern Ferraris are increasingly shifting to hybrid powertrains.
The vehicle is fitted with a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Its power stands at 720 horsepower. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes approximately 2.9 seconds, and the top speed exceeds 340 km/h.
Ferrari opted not to modify the powertrain or chassis structure. The primary attention was devoted to the design and customization of the automobile.
Project for the Collection
Development of the HC25 spanned about two years. The precise cost of the car remains undisclosed; however, similar projects are typically valued at several million euros. The final price depends on the complexity of body modifications, interior trim, and the extent of personalization.
Interestingly, the car lacks the removable hardtop provided on the standard F8 Spider. This makes the model more visually striking but limits practicality in poor weather conditions.
Ferrari has previously released similar exclusive projects based on the F8. One such example was the SP-8, also created as a single unit for a private client.
The Role of Individual Projects in Ferrari's Strategy
The Special Projects division remains an important part of Ferrari's business. Such vehicles are produced in limited editions or as single units and allow the company to maintain strong interest among collectors.
Furthermore, such projects serve as a demonstration of the brand's capabilities in design and personalization. At the same time, the technical foundation typically remains production-based, preserving the reliability and characteristics of already proven models.
The HC25 has become another example of how Ferrari combines contemporary design solutions with classic gasoline engines, which are gradually becoming rarer in the world of supercars.
