This brings Ferrari’s incredible tally of Top Gear awards to 21 awards in 23 years, including its 8th Supercar of the Year title. With a limited run of just 799 examples, the Ferrari F80 is writing a new chapter in the history of legendary supercars bearing the Prancing Horse badge, joining the pantheon of icons such as the GTO, F40 and LaFerrari by showcasing the best that the Maranello-based marque has achieved in terms of technology and performance.
Jethro Bovingdon, Contributing Editor at Topgear.com enthused: “Ferrari has embraced knowledge from F1 and endurance racing to create a whole that’s raw and energised but exploitable, intuitive and usable. The F80 sounds a bit tame from the outside, but inside it snorts, fizzes, shrieks and roars. So many layers, so much performance.”

The Ferrari 296 Speciale takes its rightful place in the exclusive lineage of special version Ferrari berlinettas and, just like its forebears – the Challenge Stradale, 430 Scuderia, 458 Speciale and 488 Pista – has been conceived to set the new benchmark in terms of driving thrills and engagement, not just for the marque’s production range, but for the segment as a whole.
Jason Barlow, Editor at Large at Topgear.com, stated: “It’s clear that the aim was to create a track-focused Ferrari with greater dynamic bandwidth than ever. It’s civilised enough that you wouldn’t think twice about hammering the 296 Speciale round Silverstone and then driving it home... to Italy. It raises the bar yet again in all the key measurables, and plenty that aren’t algorithmic. A sublime mix of analogue and digital.”
Ferrari’s Gianmaria Fulgenzi, Chief Product Development Officer, collected the awards and commented: “It is a privilege to receive these prestigious awards on behalf of my colleagues in Maranello for the latest incarnation of important and iconic model lines which set the new benchmark for performance and driving thrills. These coveted titles honour the achievements of a team of dedicated engineers who constantly strive to achieve the most ambitious technical objectives.”
