1 / 10Ferrari’s New One-Off: Ferrari has revealed the HC25, a one-off model developed under its Special Projects programme and based on the Ferrari F8 Spider. The car was unveiled during Ferrari Racing Days at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas. Designed by Ferrari Design Studio under chief design officer Flavio Manzoni, the HC25 was commissioned for a single client as a fully customised supercar.
2 / 10Why HC25 Matters: The HC25 is significant because it is built on the F8 Spider platform, Ferrari’s last mid-engined open-top model powered by a non-hybrid twin-turbo V8 engine. Ferrari says the car acts as a design bridge between its earlier V8 models and newer flagship cars such as the Ferrari F80 and Ferrari 12Cilindri. The company says the HC25 reinterprets Ferrari’s traditional mid-engined V8 spider styling with a more modern approach.
3 / 10Completely New Look: Although it retains the F8 Spider’s chassis, layout and engine, the HC25 gets entirely redesigned bodywork with a sharper and more geometric appearance. Ferrari says the design was created to visually connect the older F8 Spider with the brand’s latest styling direction. The car also features revised proportions intended to reduce the visual height of the shoulder line and make the cabin appear lower and more compact.
4 / 10The Black Band: One of the HC25’s most noticeable design elements is a gloss-black section running across the middle of the car and over the engine cover. Ferrari describes it as a “dual-volume” structure because it visually separates the front and rear sections while also linking them together. The black band integrates radiator air intakes and powertrain heat extraction outlets, making it both a styling and functional component.
5 / 10Arrow-Inspired Profile: The side profile follows an arrow-shaped design theme centred around the black band. The section begins near the rear wheel arches, extends toward the doors and then flows into the rear screen. Ferrari says this movement visually pushes the cabin forward while emphasising the rear haunches. The door handles are integrated into a long aluminium blade built into the bodywork rather than using a traditional handle design.
6 / 10First-For-Ferrari DRLs: The HC25 introduces slim bespoke headlamps with vertically positioned boomerang-shaped daytime running lights. Ferrari says this is the first time the company has used a vertical DRL layout on a road-going model. The rear receives slim split tail-lamps, a redesigned diffuser and twin trapezoidal exhaust outlets. Ferrari has also fitted the car with bespoke five-spoke alloy wheels featuring diamond-finished outer rims.
7 / 10Matte Grey Finish: The one-off Ferrari is finished in a matte Moonlight Grey paint shade combined with contrasting gloss-black surfaces. Ferrari says the contrast was designed to highlight the car’s body structure and central black band. The wheels use dark-finished spokes with recessed detailing intended to visually increase their size while matching the car’s sharper design language.
8 / 10Cabin Gets Tweaks: Inside, the HC25 retains the F8 Spider’s overall cabin layout but introduces a grey-and-yellow colour scheme. Yellow accents are used on the seats, dashboard and stitching, inspired by Ferrari’s logo and brake callipers. The cabin combines leather and technical fabric upholstery, while boomerang-shaped graphics inside mirror the DRL design used on the exterior lighting elements.
9 / 10V8 Still Intact: Powering the HC25 is the same 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine used in the F8 Spider. The unit produces 720hp and 770Nm and sends power to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Ferrari claims the HC25 can accelerate from 0-100kph in 2.9 seconds and from 0-200kph in 8.2 seconds, with a top speed of 340kph.
10 / 10Ferrari Won’t Price It: The HC25 is part of Ferrari’s Special Projects division, which creates one-off vehicles tailored for individual customers using existing Ferrari platforms. Ferrari says each project is developed in close collaboration with the client and typically takes around two years to complete. Earlier Special Projects models include the Ferrari SP48 Unica, Ferrari SP51, Ferrari SP-8 and Ferrari KC23. Ferrari has not revealed the HC25’s price.
