The all-new Ferrari F80 hypercar has recently been registered for industrial design protection in Vietnam, according to data from the National Office of Intellectual Property.
This is Ferrari’s newest hypercar, which was globally launched in October 2024 with a limited production run of 799 units. However, all of them were sold out even before the official debut of the car.
The registration information was published in the May 2025 issue of the Industrial Property Gazette, with the original application dating back to September 2024, even before the global launch of the car. The application was represented by an intellectual property company in Hanoi, which had also performed similar procedures for the Ferrari Purosangue before the official distribution of the SUV in 2023.
However, the registration for industrial design protection does not necessarily mean that the Ferrari F80 will be available in Vietnam. This could simply be a legal step to protect the car’s design from potential copying. As of now, there is no confirmation of any Vietnamese customers on the list of buyers who pre-ordered the F80 – a car with a starting price of approximately $3.9 million, equivalent to 101.38 billion VND.
The Ferrari F80‘s design takes inspiration from the legendary F40 and the Daytona SP3 supercar, featuring sharp, angular lines that optimize aerodynamic performance. The pointed nose, combined with Ferrari’s distinctive S-Duct, generates a massive 460 kg of downforce at 200 km/h on the front end alone. Active aerodynamics, including a rear wing and a large diffuser, contribute to a total of 1,000 kg of downforce at 200 km/h.
Under the hood, the F80 boasts a hybrid powertrain that combines a 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine with three electric motors, delivering a combined output of 1,184 horsepower. This setup propels the car from 0-100 km/h in just 2.15 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in 5.75 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 350 km/h, making the F80 the most powerful Ferrari ever built.
Even though only 799 units of the F80 exist worldwide, the fact that it has been granted industrial design protection in Vietnam leaves open the possibility of its presence in the local market, at least through private imports. For car enthusiasts in the country, this development is noteworthy, especially with the rise of hybrid and electric supercars gradually replacing traditional internal combustion engine models.
