Austin, Texas, hosted Ferrari’s debut of the one-off HC25, a Special Projects car for a single client that closes the brand’s non-hybrid twin-turbo V8 spider chapter.
Based on the F8 Spider, the HC25 keeps the mid-mounted V8 and chassis layout but swaps in bespoke bodywork, including a full-length gloss-black band and Ferrari’s first vertical LED daytime running lights.
Ferrari said the car was designed under Flavio Manzoni to blend heritage with cues from newer models such as the F80 and 12Cilindri, making it a styling bridge as much as a collector piece.
The HC25 also underscores how Ferrari’s one-off program works: each project typically takes about 2 years, with the client shaping materials, design and technical details alongside Ferrari engineers.
Is Ferrari's HC25 a final tribute to the V8, or a nostalgic glance back on the path to an electric future?
Why build a futuristic supercar on a discontinued, non-hybrid platform instead of a newer, more advanced model?
