SPY PICS: 2025 Ferrari F250 hypercar shaping up nicely

The 2025 Ferrari F250 hypercar has been spotted undergoing development testing again, this time without its enormous rear wing but with some of its expected production trim.

Obscured under a black veil held in place by blue hundred-mile-an-hour tape, the camouflaged F250 prototype was spotted skulking around suburban Maranello running on electric power, preventing our spy photographers from identifying what engine is stashed behind the cabin.

The working theory is the F250 – a codename that’s yet to be officially confirmed – will feature a development of the force-fed V6 plug-in hybrid system that powers the Ferrari 296 GTB, albeit with the combustion engine and electric motors dialled up to new levels.

Ferrari will undoubtedly be looking to eclipse both the previous LaFerrari hypercar and the current plug-in hybrid supercar in terms of sheer firepower and performance, meaning the F250 should be good for at least 746kW/1000Nm, a sub-2.8sec 0-100km/h time and a top speed north of 350km/h.

We’ve even seen reports and rumours of more than 1000kW being pumped out by the new-generation powertrain.

A closer look at the camouflaged body reveals this particular vehicle is fitted with near-production-spec exhaust outlets, huge ground-effect aero elements front and rear, sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres and unsurprisingly massive brakes at both ends.

Given this car is wearing a secondary mask over its already-camouflaged body, we can safely assume the F250 pictured here is wearing its production-spec body underneath, which adds weight to rumours of its global debut taking place later this year, now that the 12Cilindri has made its global debut.

And given the original Ferrari Enzo first appeared in 2002 and the LaFerrari in 2013, a new Ferrari hypercar – and the first without V12 power – to celebrate the Italian brand’s Le Mans victory in June won’t be far away.

The F250’s multi-year production run is expected to be limited to less than 1000 units across all body styles (coupe and Aperta convertible) and variants as per the LaFerrari, with the project set to be wound up by an ultra-exclusive track-only derivative perhaps called the XX.

Prices are said to be headed toward the €2 million ($A3.2m) barrier and, as usual, Ferrari’s most loyal customers will be offered dibs on what’s expected to be another sold-out limited-edition hypercar from the famed prancing horse brand.
