Ferrari Gears Up for Tomorrow’s Debut of Its Next-Gen Hypercar

Ferrari is finally ready to introduce a new flagship hypercar, stirring excitement among performance enthusiasts. Camouflaged test models have been spotted throughout the past year, but the wait ends on October 17. As the countdown winds down to mere hours, anticipation is at its peak.

In a surprise teaser shared across social media, Ferrari hinted that “something new is on the horizon.” Although the Instagram post was mysteriously taken down, the teaser remains available on Facebook.

The image shows a broad vehicle with a prominent wing hidden beneath a red cover. While it’s possible the reveal could involve a race car or a bespoke creation, all signs point to this being the long-awaited successor to the LaFerrari.

An official name has yet to be confirmed. The project is currently known by its codename, F250, though it’s unlikely to retain the V-12 hybrid configuration of the LaFerrari. Speculation suggests Ferrari’s latest hypercar could feature a V-6 at its core—potentially a historic first.

Rumors indicate that the F250 will borrow part of its powertrain from the 499P Le Mans racer, with a twin-turbo V-6 hybrid derived from the 296 GTB. Despite lacking a V-12 engine, the system is rumored to deliver an astounding output of over 1,200 horsepower.

This hybrid powertrain will feature a more complex configuration than the 499P’s single electric motor. Reports suggest the F250 will utilize three electric motors—two driving the front wheels and a third integrated into the transmission.

This setup is expected to give the hypercar an electric-only driving mode, making it compliant with urban regulations such as congestion fees or emission restrictions in European cities. Design cues from the 499P are likely to carry over to the new model, though earlier prototypes may have used misleading elements like dummy panels and fake exhaust outlets.

Beneath the red cover seen in the teaser, a low and wide silhouette with an imposing rear wing is visible, matching the general shape of the test mules and the 499P. Butterfly doors are all but confirmed, adding another layer of allure to Ferrari’s latest masterpiece.
