Ferrari has unveiled the new HC25, a bespoke One-Off model created through the marque’s exclusive Special Projects program. Revealed during Ferrari Racing Days at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, the unique roadster serves as both a sendoff to Ferrari’s non-hybrid mid-engine V8 lineage and a stylistic bridge toward the company’s next generation of flagship design language.

Designed by the Ferrari Design Studio under the direction of Flavio Manzoni, the HC25 is based on the architecture of the Ferrari F8 Spider. It retains the donor car’s chassis layout and twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 engine while extensively reworking nearly every visible surface. Ferrari describes the HC25 as the final expression of its non-hybrid mid-rear-engine V8 spider formula, while simultaneously previewing themes seen in newer halo models such as the Ferrari F80and Ferrari 12Cilindri.
Visually, the HC25 departs significantly from the F8 Spider. Ferrari says the design emphasizes pure geometric forms and sharply carved surfacing while maintaining the muscular rear haunches expected of a modern Ferrari. The car’s defining feature is a contrasting glossy black central “ribbon” that visually divides the body into two volumes. Beyond aesthetics, the ribbon also integrates cooling ducts and thermal management functions for the powertrain.
The side profile is especially dramatic. Ferrari’s designers created an arrow-like graphic that begins at the rear wheels, sweeps through the doors, and merges into the rear screen to visually pull the cabin forward. Even the door handles are concealed within long aluminum blades integrated into the bodywork. Slim new lighting units, including vertically arranged boomerang-shaped daytime running lights, were developed specifically for the HC25 and do not appear on any other current Ferrari model.
The exterior is finished in a matt Moonlight Grey paint paired with glossy black contrasting elements. Yellow accents on the brake calipers and Ferrari emblems continue inside the cabin through matching graphics and trim details. Ferrari also developed a unique five-spoke wheel design for the car, featuring diamond-finished outer rims and dark inner spokes intended to exaggerate the wheels’ visual diameter.
Mechanically, the HC25 remains every bit a modern Ferrari supercar. Its twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 produces 720 cv (710 hp) and 770 Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch F1 gearbox. Ferrari claims a 0-100 km/h time of 2.9 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 8.2 seconds, and a top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph). The engine revs to 8,000 rpm and sends power through Ferrari’s suite of electronic chassis systems including eDiff3, F1-Trac, SSC 6.1 and Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer Plus.
The HC25 was commissioned through Ferrari’s Special Projects division, the program responsible for creating one-of-one models tailored to individual clients. Ferrari says the process typically takes around two years from initial sketches to final delivery, with the customer closely involved throughout the design and development stages.
