The rear wing is the main piece of the adaptive aerodynamics system that allows the F80 to change its configuration depending on the dynamic driving condition. The vehicle's control systems measure and process acceleration, speed and steering angle in real time to identify the best compromise between load, balance and resistance based on the driver's driving style. This is translated into an unambiguous configuration of active suspension position, activation of the front Active Reverse Gurney and, above all, wing angle. This can be infinitely adjusted between the High Downforce (HD) position, used in braking and cornering, and the Low Drag (LD) position, which reduces drag to favour straight-line speed.

The thermal layout is designed in synergy with the aerodynamics to preserve maximum functionality in terms of vertical load generation. The radiant masses are positioned to maximise the flow of fresh air and minimise interference with warm air, ensuring the best heat exchange efficiency. The flank integrates several functions in a single stylistic form designed by the volume of the upper part of the door that defines a conveyor integrated into the bodywork. The air intake is surmounted by two opposing fins that reinterpret the typical shape of the ‘NACA’ aeronautical intakes: vorticity is thus exploited to trap the flow inside the conveyor.

The development of a three-dimensional aerodynamic floor imposed radical choices. At the front, the deliberation of a racing driving position was necessary to enable a chassis solution with a very high front keel. In the space freed up under the driver's feet, three pairs of bargeboards were developed that generate a strong concentrated vorticity and increase the outwash effect behind the front wheels. This improves the performance of the front triplane and minimises the interference effect between the wheel wake and the airflow feeding the rear.

Maximising the expansion volume of the diffuser, which in the F80 has a length of 180 cm, required a 1.3° rotation of the engine-gearbox assembly. The geometry thus extreme makes it possible to draw a huge flow of air under the car, the acceleration of which results in a large area of low pressure that translates into vertical load on the rear end. Performance is further enhanced thanks to the tyre seal, which aerodynamically seals the underbody by means of a duct that captures the flow from the side and blows it into the wheel well, between the outer drift of the extractor and the tyre.

The F80 features a new steering wheel developed specifically for this car, which will make an appearance in the future road-going models of the Prancing Horse. Slightly smaller than its predecessor and with flattened top and bottom rims, the steering wheel also has a smaller boss, improving visibility and accentuating the sense of sportiness when driving. The lateral zones of the rim are optimised for a better grip on the steering wheel. The physical buttons on the right and left hand spokes of the steering wheel make a return here, for an easier to use solution with buttons that can be instantly identified by touch.

The compact proportions were made possible by opting for a cabin inspired by single-seat racers, creating an impression akin to an enclosed Formula 1 car. The result of this is an original new solution that sets the driver unequivocally as the protagonist in the cabin and transforms the F80 into a “1+”. The decidedly enveloping cockpit is centred entirely around the driver, converging towards the controls and instrument panel to create a cocoon effect around them. The passenger seat is so well integrated into the trim of the cabin that it almost disappears from view. The longitudinal offset between the seats of the two occupants made it possible to set the passenger seat farther back than the driver, allowing for a narrower interior space with no penalty in terms of ergonomics and comfort.
