Ferrari is expanding its lineup of ultra-exclusive cars with the new HC25. This one-off creation was unveiled during Ferrari Racing Days at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas—and it's pretty epic.
Built through Ferrari’s Special Projects program, the HC25 is based on the F8 Spider but takes the brand’s mid-engine V8 formula in a much more dramatic direction. Designed by the Ferrari Design Center under Flavio Manzoni, the car was created for a single client and also marks the end of an era: Ferrari’s last non-hybrid twin-turbo V8 spider.
Although it shares its foundations with the F8 Spider, the HC25 introduces a completely different design language. The bodywork is sharper, cleaner, and more geometric, while still keeping the aggressive proportions Ferrari’s mid-engine cars are known for.

One of the standout details is the gloss-black band running over the entire car, visually separating the front and rear sections.
The headlights are unique to the HC25 and feature new lighting technology for Ferrari. For the first time, the LED daytime running lights are arranged vertically, creating a boomerang-style signature that follows the shape of the front fenders.
Inside, the cabin follows the same design philosophy as the exterior, mixing matte and gloss finishes throughout. The matte Moonlight Gray exterior color carries over into the interior materials, while yellow accents—inspired by Ferrari’s badges and brake calipers—appear in the stitching and various trim details.
The wheels were also designed specifically for the HC25. Their five-spoke design features a diamond-cut outer edge with darker finishes that make the wheels appear even larger. Ferrari also paid close attention to the car’s proportions, minimizing the visual size of the glass area and lowering the perceived body line to create an even sleeker profile.
Mechanically, the HC25 keeps the same layout as the F8 Spider, including its mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 and chassis setup. Ferrari hasn’t revealed any performance upgrades, but the real significance of the car goes beyond horsepower figures.
The HC25 represents a transition point for Ferrari. It closes the chapter on the brand’s pure internal-combustion V8 spiders while also previewing the styling direction future high-performance Ferraris could take.
