Ferrari P80/C: a one-off track car based on the 488 GT3
Ferrari P80/C — the 2019 one-off car designed exclusively for the track, created on the 488 GT3 platform and inspired by the 1960s prototypes. Here, we delve into its origins, technology, and unique features.
P80/C in brief
Ferrari P80/C — a one-off car designed exclusively for track use. It was created under Ferrari’s ‘Special Projects’ programme and is based on the 488 GT3.
Its design is inspired by classic Ferrari prototypes, while the base is a modern racing GT car.
History and creation
The ‘Special Projects’ programme, also known as the ‘Portfolio Coachbuilding Program’, was launched in 2008 to revive the tradition of creating one-off and limited-series Ferrari cars. Engineering and design are handled by Ferrari itself, sometimes collaborating with external design studios, and the cars receive full homologation for road use.
The P80/C was unveiled in 2019. The car was commissioned by a single Ferrari client. The design draws inspiration from the 330 P3, 330 P4, and Dino 206 S — legendary 1960s racing prototypes.
Technology and significance
The base is the 488 GT3 race car with a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8. The body has been completely redesigned, and the car is not intended for public roads.
The P80/C is one of the most striking examples of the ‘Special Projects’ programme: it shows how a modern race car can be transformed based on historical inspiration.
Where to see it and can you buy it
The car was created as a one-off and belongs to the client who commissioned it. It is occasionally displayed at public events.
It's not being sold as a one-off collector's car, and the price isn't listed.

The P80/C is a one-off, so there are no versions.
