London, Wednesday 2 July 2025. Ferrari North Europe proudly announces the debut of four exceptional Ferrari models as part of an enhanced brand presence at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. Each vehicle embodies Ferrari’s commitment to design, innovation, and performance.

Enhanced Presence:
For 2025, Ferrari will launch a new public display, which will host two new exciting  models that have joined the Ferrari model line-up this year. These include:

Ferrari Amalfi (Saturday onwards)
Ferrari’s newest 2+ coupé featuring a 640 cv front-mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 engine. The AmalfI evolves the Grand Tourer concept, blending elegance and excitement in a sports car capable of combining extremely high performance with great everyday versatility. The modern, sculpted design and high-tech interior include a triple-display HMI and advanced onboard comfort, including the reincorporation of physical buttons within the steering wheel design.

Ferrari 296 Speciale
The 296 Speciale is a special version of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined berlinetta that represents the extreme evolution of the 296 GTB, setting a benchmark in driving enjoyment. The plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a 120-degree twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor, delivering a total output of 880 cv. The ICE has been lightened and reinforced with components also derived from Formula 1, while the 8-speed DCT transmission has been optimized with the Ferrari fast shift strategy to maximize electric torque and make gear changes even quicker and more engaging. Weight has been reduced and aerodynamic downforce increased by 20% compared to the 296 GTB. The chassis has been revised for even more responsive and precise track behaviour; the new extra boost software strategy delivers full power during high-performance laps. Its compact dimensions and design integrate radical technical solutions—such as rear gamma wings, suspended splitters, and an enlarged diffuser evoking a racing aesthetic.

Other models exhibited at the Laundry Green display include an iconic Classiche-certified Ferrari F50, a Ferrari Purosangue from the ‘Tailor Made’ atelier programme, where detailed individual personalisation is selected to create a truly one-off specification.

Dynamic Debuts:
Two distinct new models make their UK dynamic debuts, as the pair take to the iconic Goodwood Hill in the Batch 6 – Supercar Run:

Ferrari F80
The F80 is Maranello’s sixth supercar. The carbon-fibre chassis houses a hybrid power unit that delivers 1200 cv, 900 of which come from the 499P-derived V6 engine, that took two consecutive Le Mans 24 Hours victories in 2023 and 2024. The three-litre V6, internally known as F163CF, boosts the specific power output level to 300 cv/l. The remaining 300 cv are produced by the 800 V hybrid system with an electric front axle (e-4WD) and a rear electric motor (MGU-K). The technological transfer from Formula 1 introduces e-turbos (MGU-H), which generate power from the excess kinetic energy from the rotation of the turbines and eliminates turbo lag. Designed for maximum performance, the car produces 1050 kg downforce at 250 km/h. At the rear is an active wing which adjusts continuously both for height and incidence. The active suspension, whose upper arms are made using 3D metal additive manufacturing technology, dramatically improves the handling especially on the track. The Boost Optimisation records the track and provides an extra power boost in the areas needed to reduce lap times. The ‘1+’ cockpit is asymmetrical: its single-seater effect is geared towards driver comfort, even though the F80 is homologated for two people. The F80 is limited to 799 units and will be produced until 2027, the year the company celebrates its 80th anniversary.

Ferrari 12Cilindri
The Ferrari 12Cilindri is inspired by the Ferrari Grand Tourers of the ‘50s and ‘60s and fully embodies the mission of the front-engine V12 two-seater Ferrari with a blend of elegance, versatility, and performance. It represents the latest evolution of this lineage, passing on a unique heritage and elevating it to new standards of performance, comfort, and design. The shapes express sportiness, class, and sobriety: simple and harmonious lines integrate innovations such as integrated active aerodynamics to ensure unparalleled performance, the front-hinged clamshell bonnet that enhances the engine compartment, and classic design cues, like the twin pair of exhaust pipes typical of Ferrari 12-cylinders.

The Prancing Horse will also be represented through a stunning line-up of historic and contemporary models, entered by devoted Ferrari collectors – many of which are supporting Goodwood’s 75 years in Formula 1 celebrations.

75 Years of Formula 1:
As the only team to compete in every Formula 1 season since the championship’s inception in 1950, Ferrari proudly embraces this year’s Festival theme: ‘75 Years of F1’.

Highlights include the Ferrari Tipo 500 F2, famously driven by Alberto Ascari, which won consecutive F1 world championships in 1952 and 1953. Equally notable is the Ferrari 640 from 1989 – the first Ferrari F1 car to successfully implement a paddle-shift gearbox, a pioneering technology that transformed the sport in the 1990s and directly influenced Ferrari road model development. Modern F1 icons also take to the Hill, including the legendary title-winning F2002, demonstrating Ferrari’s enduring legacy in motorsport excellence.

Ferrari’s presence at Goodwood wouldn’t be complete without the presence of the Scuderia Ferrari F1 team and Ferrari Drivers. The Scuderia Ferrari will be showcasing the Ferrari SF90 from 2019 and the SF21 from 2021.
