This is, without doubt, both an ambitious and complex undertaking. The client – a knowledgeable Ferrari collector – developed a brief for a modern sports prototype inspired by iconic models from the luxury brand\u2019s history. This was a big ask: the 80\/C had to be inspired by famous track cars that wrote their own styling rules, and in the process, influenced the design of Ferrari\u2019s elegant road cars. In line with this huge undertaking, the 80\/C had the longest development time of any Ferrari one-off in history, with working starting in 2015. The 80\/C emerged as a track car, so performance was a hugefactor in its development and radical changes had to be made to the runninggear of the donor car. The 488 GT3 chassis was used as a basis due to the model\u2019s performance and longer wheelbase, which permitted more creative freedom. The GT chassis allowed the designers to go with a cab forward-effect where the rear is lengthened, giving the car a more compact and aggressive character: a cornerstone in the styling of the 80\/C from the very beginning. The side view of the car is a definitive wedge shape. Alongwith the muscular front and rear wings, and classic wrap-around windscreen,this gives the aesthetically-pleasing impression that the cabin is fused withthe body. These features pay homage to the 330P3\/P4, the Dino, and the 250 LM berlinettas.In line with the client\u2019srequest, the car was designed with a dual soul incorporating both a racing setup – demonstrated by its showy carbon-fibre wing – and an exhibition packagefeaturing 21\u201d wheels, but without aerodynamic appendages. This allows thedesign to speak for itself; highlighting the purity of its forms. It has beenpainted a bright statement Ross Vero.
