LaFerrari-Replacing 2025 Ferrari F250 Is Taking Shape, Packs Hybrid Twin-Turbo V6 Muscle

The carparazzi have recently spotted a prototype doing its thing outside Ferrari's well-known Maranello headquarters, but as opposed to earlier prototypes, the pictured supercar is equipped with production-spec panels. Heavily camouflaged both outside and in the cockpit, said vehicle is equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes featuring silver-painted calipers fore and red calipers in the rear.

Michelin performance rubber also needs to be mentioned, along with doors that cut into the roof à la the LaFerrari and the Daytona SP3. Similar to said V12 monsters, a single wiper is tasked with cleaning the F250's wraparound windshield.

There's much aero trickery at work up front, with an emphasis on the S-duct hood. The rear end appears to be hiding a sort of active wing, and chances are that Ferrari also went for active rear aerodynamic diffuser flaps. Older prototypes of the F250, on the other hand, sport fixed rear wings.

While admiring the vehicle's rear, it's hard to ignore its oval-shaped exhaust finisher. The design and location suggest 296 oomph in the form of a 3.0-liter V6 with a couple of snails for good measure. Spy videos of the F250 confirm the six-cylinder lump, which also powers the 499P endurance racer that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans back in 2023.

LMH-class racing cars are required to weigh a minimum of 1,030 kilograms (2,271 pounds) and put out no more than 500 kilowatts (671 horsepower) from the internal combustion engine. As for the hybrid part of the powertrain, that's restricted to a maximum of 200 kilowatts (268 horsepower).

Let's call that 940 ponies combined, whereas the road-going 296 nets 819 cavalli vapore at full chatter. It's easy to imagine over 1,000 ponies from this fellow. If the Prancing Horse manages to keep the curb weight low, it should also stupidly good in the corners. Think so good that Ferrari's new flagship would knock off the SF90 XX Stradale to second place on the Fiorano circuit's leaderboard for the fastest series-production/road-legal vehicle.

Hearsay suggests that only 599 berlinettas and 199 spiders will be assembled in total, volumes that align with the self-imposed limit of less than 5% of total volumes for the Supercar and Icona series. The Prancing Horse delivered 13,663 vehicles last year, with 5% of that meaning 683 vehicles and change.

There is a high possibility that Ferrari will use its forthcoming F250 for a new XX series of track-only machines. A mere 30 are believed to be in the offing. By comparison, the road-going SF90 XX is limited to 799 berlinettas and 599 spiders.
