Ferrari appears likely to replace the fixed carbon-fiber roof of the coupe with a lightweight, removable panel. Early reports suggest that the company may favor a simple fabric roof instead of a complicated powered folding system, helping the car preserve its low weight and structural focus.

Ferrari could also follow the LaFerrari Aperta's formula by offering customers more than one roof option. A compact fabric panel could provide basic weather protection and fit inside the front luggage area, while an optional rigid panel could use exposed carbon fiber or a gloss black finish.

This approach would suit the F80 perfectly. The car was developed around advanced aerodynamic systems, active suspension and technology inspired by Formula 1 and the Ferrari 499P endurance racer. Removing the roof without sacrificing performance would require extensive reinforcement and careful airflow management, especially when the car can reach speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour.

The open-top model would retain the electrified V6 powertrain used by the coupe. Ferrari combines a 900 horsepower combustion engine with another 300 horsepower from the hybrid system, delivering Four Wheel Drive and immediate acceleration.

Production would almost certainly be more limited than the 799 coupe examples. Pricing has not been confirmed, although the standard F80 already carried an original price of about 3.9 million dollars. An open version could therefore become one of the most expensive and collectible new Ferraris ever offered.

Ferrari has reportedly registered several names that could reveal how the open-top model will be marketed. These include F80 Targa and F80 Roadster, both of which clearly suggest a version designed for open-air driving.

The Targa name would likely describe a car with a removable roof section and a fixed rear structure. This configuration could offer greater chassis strength while preserving the dramatic sensation of driving without a roof. The Roadster name could point toward a more completely open design, although Ferrari may ultimately select only one of these identities for production.

Ferrari has also registered F80 XX and FXX 80. These names suggest that Maranello may be considering an even more extreme track focused derivative connected to its exclusive development programs.

A potential 2027 reveal would carry symbolic significance, as Ferrari will mark 80 years since the arrival of the 125 S, the first car to bear the Ferrari name. Production of the F80 coupe is already expected to continue through that anniversary year.

Whether it arrives as the F80 Aperta, F80 Targa or F80 Roadster, the new model could become the most desirable member of the F80 family. It would combine the technical complexity of a modern hybrid hypercar with the raw emotion of an open cabin, giving Ferrari collectors a machine that feels both futuristic and deeply connected to Maranello tradition.
