Ferrari’s latest flagship hypercar, the Ferrari F80, has made its way to Dallas, Texas, with an exterior that looks different every time the light hits it.
The Ferrari F80 is already one of the Italian automaker’s most exclusive creations, with just 799 examples planned for production.
But this particular car has a color-shifting finish that moves between blue and green, making it stand out even among multimillion-dollar supercars.
And its looks are backed up by a hybrid powertrain producing a staggering 1,200 horsepower.
The Ferrari F80’s paint job changes from blue to green
The first Ferrari F80 hypercar to arrive in Dallas has been spotted wearing a seriously eye-catching finish that seems to transform depending on the viewing angle.
Images shared by car spotter Collin County Cars show the hypercar appearing deep blue in some lighting, almost black in others, before revealing green tones as the light changes.

The glossy finish gives the new F80 an almost liquid appearance, adding another layer of drama to its already aggressive design.
Black wheels and contrasting details around the bodywork help bring the look together, while Ferrari’s signature styling ensures there’s no mistaking what you’re looking at.
It’s a striking alternative to the bright red paint often associated with the Italian brand, and it suits the F80’s futuristic appearance particularly well.

The hypercar produces 1,200 horsepower
While the paintwork might grab your attention first, the F80 has the performance to match its dramatic appearance.
Under the bodywork is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with an electric hybrid system, producing a combined 1,200 metric horsepower.
The Italian automaker says the F80 can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in just 2.15 seconds and reach a top speed of 217 mph.

The hypercar also benefits from technology developed through Ferrari’s motorsport programs, with an aerodynamic design built to generate downforce and keep the car stable at high speeds.
Its hybrid powertrain combines the performance of a combustion engine with electric assistance, making it one of the most technologically advanced road cars Ferrari has produced.

Ferrari is only building 799 examples
The F80 was unveiled in October 2024 as Ferrari’s latest limited-production flagship, following legendary models such as the F40, Enzo, and LaFerrari.
Just 799 examples are planned, with an announced starting price of around $3.9 million.

That exclusivity makes every delivery worth paying attention to, particularly when a customer opts for a finish as distinctive as this one.
The exact name of the Dallas car’s color-shifting paint has not been confirmed, but its blue-to-green appearance gives it a look that’s difficult to confuse with another F80.
With 1,200 horsepower, a top speed of 217 mph and an exterior that changes color in the light, this Ferrari certainly makes a memorable first impression in Texas.
As they always say: don’t mess with Texas.
