Far more exciting, the F80 Aperta has been spotted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbSzTntDjl_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Derek Photography<\/a> for the first time outside the Maranello factory while undergoing testing as a heavily camouflaged prototype. Although the generous disguise suggests a complete transformation compared to the coupe, most of the changes appear to be happening above the cabin.<\/p>\n<p>While the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/789819\/ferrari-amalfi-spider-debut-details\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22789819%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22ferrari-amalfi-spider-debut-details%22%7D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amalfi Spider<\/a> has an electrically retractable roof, the F80 Aperta is expected to feature a manually removable top, just like the LaFerrari Aperta before it. Ferrari\u2019s open-air hypercar is swapping the coupe\u2019s fixed carbon-fiber roof for a fabric panel that owners will likely be able to stow in the trunk. It\u2019s worth noting that its predecessor was also offered with an optional carbon-fiber roof in either an exposed-weave finish or a glossy black look.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrari is building 799 coupes and, knowing the company\u2019s modus operandi, there\u2019s a good chance the convertible will be even rarer. It could break cover at some point in 2027, when the Italians will celebrate 80 years since the launch of their first production model, the 125 S. The first vehicle to bear the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/ferrari\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ferrari<\/a> name was also an open-top sports car. Hence, the timing feels right for the F80 Aperta to debut next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/ferrari\/f80\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">F80<\/a> may have only a V6 instead of a V12, but that hasn\u2019t deterred collectors from snapping one up. Ferrari sold all coupe allocations before the flagship even broke cover, so we wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the Aperta also sells out instantly. Given its removable roof and potentially lower production run, we\u2019re expecting it to command a premium over the coupe, which started at about $3.7 million before options.<\/p>\n<p>The F80 Aperta is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/775661\/ferrari-launch-20-cars-few-years\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22775661%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22ferrari-launch-20-cars-few-years%22%7D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">20 models due by the end of 2030<\/a>, alongside the hugely controversial electric Luce, the 12Cilindri Manuale with a simulated manual gearbox, and possibly a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/787369\/ferrari-296-challenge-stradale-spy-photos\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22787369%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22ferrari-296-challenge-stradale-spy-photos%22%7D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">296 Challenge Stradale<\/a> as a road-going version of the 296 Challenge race car. A new ultra-exclusive model from the Icona series is also likely to arrive, presumably with a V12 engine like the Monza SP1\/SP2 and the Daytona SP3.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Luce, Ferrari has shut down rumors that it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/799319\/ferrari-not-forcing-customers-to-buy-luce\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22799319%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22ferrari-not-forcing-customers-to-buy-luce%22%7D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pressuring its wealthiest buyers<\/a> to order the EV to secure build slots for its most exclusive models. The F80 Aperta will almost certainly be one of them, but Maranello insists these high-end cars don&#8217;t come with Luce strings attached.<\/p>\n<p>                            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motor1.com\/photos\/892774\/ferrari-f80\/#7930097_ferrari-f80\" class=\"msnt-photo-thumb-gallery-main-photo-box\" itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" data-url=\"\/photos\/892774\/ferrari-f80\/#7930097_ferrari-f80\" data-thumb=\"\" data-caption=\"\" data-src=\"\" data-sub-html=\"Ferrari F80\" data-entity-id=\"7930097\" data-download-url=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Ferrari F80\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                            <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                    20                                <\/p>\n<p>\n                            Source: Ferrari                        <\/p>\n<p>Motor1&#8217;s Take:\u00a0An Aperta version is the logical next step for Ferrari as it expands the F80 lineup.
