With the 100th Le Mans 24 Hour this weekend, you’d be forgiven for thinking this disguised and bewinged beast was in fact a Ferrari 499P race car.
Nope, it’s the all-new Ferrari F250 hypercar, and Car Magazine UK has spotted it testing near Maranello.

Announced for launch in 2026, it is believed a limited-production run of 600 units is in the offing. This will include 200 open-top Spider versions and a few XX track-only versions for Ferrari’s customer racing operation. And all have been accounted for. It is believed they will retail for roughly R45 million at the current exchange rate.

Still three years out from production, it’s anyone’s guess what’s lurking a midships in the Ferrari F250 hypercar. It will definitely be hybrid, most likely deploying a turbocharged downsized V6 mated to an electric motor with regenerative capabilities, rather than the V8 or V12 of yore.
