Ferrari Reveals HC25 As A Unique F8 Spider Based Supercar

Although the Ferrari F8 Spider officially left production in 2023, the Italian brand has continued to use its platform for some of its most exclusive custom projects.

The latest example is the Ferrari HC25, a completely unique interpretation of a modern Maranello supercar.

The car was created through Ferrari’s One-Off program for an anonymous customer with extremely deep pockets.

Unlike the earlier SP 8, which was also based on the F8 Spider, the HC25 follows a very different design direction.

A New Look Inspired By Ferrari’s Future

The design team, led by Flavio Manzoni, found inspiration in Ferrari’s latest hybrid models. The influence reportedly comes from cars such as the F80 and 849 Testarossa.

That gives the HC25 a visual connection between Ferrari’s future and the final generation of pure V8-powered supercars without electrification.

The most striking detail is the way the body appears divided into two parts. The front and rear sections are finished in matte gray, while a glossy black central section separates them.

That black area includes the air intakes and the glass engine cover. Long custom silver door handles act almost like connecting pieces between the two halves of the car.

A Body Created Only For This Car

The entire exterior body was developed specifically for the HC25. None of the panels were carried over from the standard F8 Spider.

The lighting is also completely new. Slim main headlights are paired with vertical boomerang-shaped daytime running lights, and the same visual theme continues through the black central body section.

Special two-tone five-spoke wheels with a double rim design add to the futuristic look. The cabin keeps the basic layout of the F8 Spider but receives a new mix of colors and materials.

The seats are trimmed in leather shades that match the exterior, while yellow accents and contrast stitching add a stronger performance character.

Under the unique bodywork, the familiar F8 Spider hardware remains. Power comes from a 238-cubic-inch twin-turbo V8 producing 720 horsepower.

Power goes to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential.

Ferrari says the setup allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds. Top speed is 211 mph.

A Private Ferrari Built For One Owner

As with all models from Ferrari’s One Off program, the company has not revealed the price or the identity of the owner.

The Ferrari HC25 will be shown during Ferrari Days at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. After that, it will join the private collection of the customer who commissioned it.
