Ferrari Australasia has kicked off the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix with the local debut of its multi-million-dollar 1200hp (882kW) F80 hypercar, with guest appearances by F1 drivers Sir Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.

    The 2025 Ferrari F80 was unveiled to guests at a pre-race event held at Casa Ferrari, the brand’s exclusive trackside venue at Albert Park in Melbourne.

    Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 hybrid drivetrain based on the architecture of Ferrari’s Le Mans-winning race car, the F80 boasts outputs of 882.35kW (1200hp) and 1100Nm+.

    That makes it good for a 0-100km/h run in just 2.15 seconds and 0-200km/h in 5.75 seconds.

    The €2.9 million (A$5 million) hypercar from Maranello was revealed to 400 guests by Scuderia Ferrari F1 drivers Charles Leclerc and Sir Lewis Hamilton. Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Hamilton makes his debut for the Ferrari team at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne this weekend.
