Universo Ferrari exhibition

Ferrari has officially opened the doors to its first-ever Universo Ferrari exhibition in India. Held at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka in New Delhi from 17 October to 1 November, Universo Ferrari offers a comprehensive look at the Italian marque’s heritage, motorsport pedigree, technology, and craftsmanship. More pertinently, several exciting Ferraris are also on display at Universo Ferrari, some of them for the first time in India. Let’s have a look at the Ferrari cars that have debuted in India as part of Universo Ferrari.

Ferrari F80

Revealed in 2024 as a successor to the LaFerrari, and to commemorate Ferrari’s 80th anniversary, the F80 is the brand’s most powerful road-going offering yet. Producing a combined 1,200hp from its 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain, the F80 claims a ridiculous 0-100kph time of 2.15 seconds and a 0-200kph time of 5.75 seconds. All-wheel drive is fitted as standard, along with a slew of motorsport-derived tech like an MGU-K energy recovery system and electric turbos.

On the outside, the F80 matches the wildness of its powertrain with design elements like a slew of air ducts across the body, a black strip between the headlamps, an active rear wing, a central exhaust, and a massive rear diffuser. Inside, things are quite minimalistic and driver-focused – highlights include a motorsport-style ovoid steering wheel, a large digital driver’s display, an angled centre console, and bucket seats. Ferrari has sold through all 799 units of the F80, each retailing for €3 million (Rs 32 crore), before options.

Ferrari Luce

The Luce is Ferrari’s first EV, and perhaps its most controversial offering. Based on an all-new 800-volt architecture, the Luce features a 122kWh battery and four electric motors producing a combined 1,050hp and 990Nm. Ferrari claims a 0-100kph time of 2.5 seconds, a top speed of 310kph, and a range of up to 530km. Unlike other EVs, the Luce doesn’t pump artificial engine noises into the cabin via speakers – instead, the electric motors are tuned to emit a distinct, high-pitched sound.

Styled by LoveFrom, a firm co-founded by former Apple designer Jony Ive, the Luce features a distinctive two-piece body structure, with a gloss-black passenger cell enclosed within a coloured aluminium shell. It gets recessed LED headlamps, quad LED tail-lamps, suicide doors, and staggered 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels. At 5,026mm long, the Luce is the largest Ferrari yet, and its 0.254 drag coefficient is the lowest among road-legal Ferraris. The interior sports a retro-inspired design, with a 10-inch touchscreen, a 12.5-inch OLED driver’s display, and seating for five – a first for a Ferrari. Order books are open for the Luce in overseas markets, with prices starting at 550,000 euros (approximately Rs 6.1 crore) before options.

Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale

Unveiled a few months ago, the 12Cilindri Manuale is a limited-run special and the first Ferrari in 14 years to offer a manual gearbox. Only, this gearbox isn’t a true manual, but a simulated ‘Manuale By-Wire’ system based on the 12Cilindri’s 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. The experience is intact, however, with a clutch pedal, 6 speeds, a gated shifter, and the ability to stall and clutch-dump the car. If needed, you can even switch to automatic mode and let the DCT take over. Elsewhere, the Manuale retains the 12Cilindri’s 830hp 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, claiming a 0-100kph time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 340kph.

The exterior largely mirrors that of the standard 12Cilindri but gets exclusive Manuale badges, silver-finished Ferrari side logos, pinstripes on the front splitter and rear winglets, and bespoke five-spoke forged alloy wheels available in four finishes. Inside, the centre console has been redesigned to accommodate a rounded aluminium gear lever inspired by classic Ferrari gated shifters, available in silver or black. Buyers can also choose comfort or racing seats with six vertical grooves. Limited to 1,499 units, the 12Cilindri Manuale is priced from €590,000 (approximately Rs 6.42 crore), before options.

Ferrari 499P

The 499P Le Mans Hypercar was revealed in 2022 as Ferrari’s return to the top class of endurance racing after 50 years. It’s powered by a twin-turbo V6 based on the architecture of the engine used in the 296 GT3, itself derived from the road-going 296 GTB. Developed specifically for racing, the 499P’s V6 works with a bespoke 900-volt, 200kW energy recovery system (ERS) connected to the front axle, forming a hybrid all-wheel drive layout. A brake-by-wire system recovers kinetic energy, while power is delivered through a 7-speed sequential gearbox. Balance of Performance regulations limit the 499P’s total output to 680hp.

The 499P’s design pays tribute to Ferrari’s endurance racing heritage, particularly the 312P prototype from 1973 – Ferrari’s last factory entry in the top class. Its name refers to the 499cc displacement of each cylinder, while ‘P’ stands for Prototype. A yellow stripe runs through the livery – another nod to the 312P – while carbonfibre construction allows for a 1,030kg baseline weight. The 499P brought home several accolades for Ferrari, such as three consecutive Le Mans victories (2023, 2024, and 2025), a complete sweep at the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship, and more.

Ferrari SF-26

Ferrari pulled the wraps off the SF-26 racer back in January 2026. Built for F1’s 2026 technical regulations overhaul, the SF-26 is powering by Ferrari’s 067/6 power unit – a 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 that can run on sustainable fuel blends and is paired with a heavily bolstered 350kW MGU-K system, creating a near 50-50 performance split between combustion and electric power. 
Driven by Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, the SF-26 has compiled 11 Grand Prix podiums and 2 victories, with dramatic wins at the Spanish Grand Prix with Hamilton and the British Grand Prix with Leclerc.

The SF-26’s bodywork shifts away from the previous ground-effect era toward a lighter, more agile 770kg carbon-composite structure. It features advanced active aerodynamics with movable front and rear wings to minimise drag on straights while maximising cornering downforce. Visually, the SF-26 incorporates push-rod suspension on both axles and debuts a gloss Rosso Scuderia livery accented with white.
