Thus the front splitter is specific and, while the expansion curve and vortex generators of the rear diffuser are the same as those used on the GT3, the external surfaces are all unique to the P80/C. The result is an improvement of around 5% in overall efficiency, required to make full use of the
unrestricted engine.
However, I understand that Ferrari will not use this car if it decides to participate in the Hypercars.
Possibly they will use the next new mid engined V8 TT-Hybrid near of 1000 HP car that will be released in the coming months (called BIG BROTHER (BB) in the forums) or maybe the next model of the Icona series (The F40 Icona) that will have the base of the BB and it is rumored that will arrive next year.
I have the feeling that many of the 4 year developments of the P80 / C will appear on the BB or on the F40 Icona.
