A unique Ferrari

26 May A unique Ferrari

(Oilandgaspress) -–A new Ferrari from the One-Off series, part of the Special Projects programme, was unveiled at the Ferrari Racing Days in the Circuit of the Americas: the HC25. Designed by the Ferrari Design Studio under the direction of Flavio Manzoni, the car is a mid-rear internal combustion engine V8 model derived from the F8 Spider, from which it inherits its layout, chassis and internal combustion powertrain. The HC25 thus becomes part of the most exclusive segment of the range – a collection of unique cars, sketched and then built according to the wishes of a single client, who reaches the pinnacle of personalization offered by the Prancing Horse.

The main distinguishing feature of the HC25 lies in its ambition to reinterpret the forms and aesthetic codes of Ferrari’s mid‑rear‑engined spiders with a bold, forward-looking perspective. Developed on the F8 Spider platform – the last open‑top Prancing Horse model to feature the non‑hybrid turbo V8 in a mid‑rear position – it stands markedly apart from it. The styling of the HC25 remains voluptuous and sensual, expressing around the wheels the muscularity typical of Ferrari models, almost echoing the aesthetic language of the F80. This One-Off can be seen as an ideal bridge: on one hand concluding the story of the iconic mid‑rear‑engined V8 platform; on the other, projecting itself into the futuristic path Ferrari has taken with its flagship models, the Ferrari 12Cilindri and F80. The forms are pure and simple, defined by vertical flanks bordered by sharp crests, cleanly carved lines and geometric rhythms that harmonise with the natural sensuality created by Ferrari’s signature surface transitions across the car’s volumes.

The HC25 is characterised by a strong graphic identity: the dual-volume structure creates an interplay in which the front and rear appear as two distinct bodies, joined by a wrapping, highly three‑dimensional central band. This element appears as a functional black ribbon incorporating essential thermal-management components, including air intakes for the radiators and heat extraction for the powertrain – the true heart of the car.
