Italian designer Adriano Raeli simply can not wait for the powerful heir of "LaFerrari" so he decided to present his vision of new supercar of the famous Italian manufacturer. He named this car the "F80" and described it as "street-legal F1 car," noting that he found inspiration in NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance) project -- a development project of a future combat fighter.

Ferrari LaFerrari is still hot news and only half way through its 499-unit production run. But an independent designer took it upon himself to try and envision what its successor may look like. He calls his creation the F80 and describes it as a “street-legal F1 car.”

As the successor to LaFerrari, Adriano Raeli’s Ferrari F80 is a car from the next decade, probably year 2025. It is not likely for Ferrari to make another hyper car any sooner than that. The F80 looks futuristic enough for that year, but the powertrain Adriano is proposing for it, is not.

The car should be driven by the twin-turbo V8 unit with 900 hp (662 kW), supported by a 300 hp (220 kW) K.E.R.S. system.

The 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration should take no more than two seconds, while the top speed will reach 500 km/h (310 mph). The F80 project features two asymmetrically-placed seats and weights only 800 kg (1763 lbs).

Raeli has impressed many with his design, and has even found a potential buyer if it becomes a reality. It's Nick Mason, Pink Floyd drummer and Ferrari collector.
