Look at it.
Just look at it. The Ferrari HC25 isn’t a car for everyone, and honestly? That’s the point. It’s a “pure, uncompromising roll-top” straight out of Maranello’s Special Projects workshop, reserved for clients with too much money and very specific taste. Lucky break, isn’t it.
Flavio Manzoni—head of design—wanted something that looked forward while echoing the upcoming F80 hypercar. So they built this.
It’s got curves. Big ones. Voluptuous, almost, but tuned to hide the glass and lower the shoulders. A glossy black belt wraps around the middle, splitting the matte Moonlight Grey paint. It’s not just decoration either. Air goes in there. The arrow shape down the side tricks the eye, adding momentum where there shouldn’t be any, highlighting those massive rear haunches.
Even the lights are custom. New tech lets them make thinner lenses, a first for Ferrari. The DRLs? Boomerang-shaped. Unique. Inside, the boomerang theme returns on the seats—yellow stitching against grey fabric. Refreshing to see something that isn’t just carbon fiber and Alcantara pasted everywhere.
Under the skin, though, things are simpler.
Based on the older F8 Spider platform. Not the hybrid 296 GTS no one talks about properly. No plug-in hybrid complications. Just a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 screaming up to 8,000 rpm. 710 bhp. All sent to the rear wheels. The exhausts sit right above the aggressive diffuser, singing loud and proud.
Ferrari started these Special Projects way back in 2008. We’ve seen crazy things before. Remember Eric Clapton’s SP1 2 EC? Inspired by the 512 BB, naturally. Each of these one-offs takes about two years to make. The customer sits in the chair every step of the way.
How much is two years worth to them?
