Ferrari Unveils the HC25: A Bespoke V8 Roadster Masterpiece
Ferrari has officially expanded its ultra-exclusive Special Projects programme with the debut of a striking new One-Off model: the HC25. Unveiled on May 18, 2026, at the Ferrari Racing Days held at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, the HC25 represents the pinnacle of personalized automotive craftsmanship. Designed under the direction of Flavio Manzoni at the Ferrari Centro Stile, this pure, uncompromising roadster is built upon the acclaimed F8 Spider architecture.
A Bold Evolution in Design
The HC25 serves as a design bridge, concluding the era of the iconic mid-rear-engined V8 platform while projecting toward the futuristic aesthetics of flagship models like the 12Cilindri and F80.
- Dual-Volume Structure: The car features a highly three-dimensional central black band that visually separates yet joins the distinct front and rear bodies. This band acts as a functional ribbon, housing essential thermal-management components such as radiator air intakes and powertrain heat extractors.
- Striking Illumination: For the first time, Ferrari has implemented vertical Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) that utilize the leading edge of the front wings to create a distinctive boomerang shape. The custom-built, ultra-slim headlamps perfectly mirror the split design of the rear lights.
- Color Profile: The exterior is finished in matt Moonlight Grey, providing a striking, decisive contrast against the glossy black central band. Yellow accents highlight the brake calipers, Ferrari logos, and cabin graphics.
- Custom Wheels: The dynamic five-spoke wheels feature a diamond-finished outer rim and dark spokes designed to emphasize their diameter.
Engineering and Performance Excellence
Beneath its bespoke exterior, the HC25 inherits the formidable non-hybrid turbo V8 powertrain and chassis layout of the F8 Spider.
- Engine Power: A 3,902 cc V8 turbo engine delivers a staggering 720 cv at 7000 rpm and 770 Nm of maximum torque at 3250 rpm.
- Acceleration: The HC25 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, and reaches 200 km/h in 8.2 seconds.
- Top Speed: This bespoke roadster is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 340 km/h.
- Transmission: Power is managed flawlessly through a 7-speed dual-clutch F1 gearbox.
The Pinnacle of Personalization
The HC25 is part of Ferrari’s Special Projects programme, which creates one-of-a-kind vehicles tailored entirely to a single client’s vision. The development of a One-Off typically spans an average of two years, during which the client collaborates hand-in-glove with the Styling Centre to assess design and verification phases. The final result is a uniquely engineered Maranello masterpiece sporting the Prancing Horse logo.
