Ferrari HC25 (2026) design revealed

Ferrari’s HC25 surfaced to a wider audience this weekend when NetCarShow published a gallery and specifications page dated May 23 for the 2026 model. The posting followed Ferrari’s own May 15 unveiling of the car at Ferrari Racing Days at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, where the company described the HC25 as a new One-Off from its Special Projects program. (netcarshow.com) Ferrari said the HC25 is a roadster derived from the F8 Spider architecture, while NetCarShow’s write-up emphasized the body rather than any broader product roadmap. (netcarshow.com) The design language in both descriptions centers on a “dual-volume structure,” with the front and rear appearing as separate bodies linked by a sculpted central band. (ferrari.com) ### Where did this car actually debut? Austin, Texas, is where Ferrari says it unveiled the HC25 on May 15 during Ferrari Racing Days at Circuit of the Americas. The company’s corporate article calls it “a new Ferrari from the One-Off series,” placing it inside the automaker’s Special Projects operation rather than its regular production lineup. (netcarshow.com) NetCarShow’s May 23 entry did not present the car as a fresh launch of its own. The site functioned as a secondary publication point, adding photo galleries, specs formatting and design text that brought the HC25 into wider circulation over the weekend. (netcarshow.com) ### What is Ferrari saying the HC25 is? Ferrari describes the HC25 as “a pure, uncompromising roadster” based on the architecture of the F8 Spider. The company says the car inherits its layout from that donor model, and outside automotive databases and follow-on reports also identify the F8 Spider as the underlying platform. (ferrari.com) The One-Off label matters because Ferrari uses that term for bespoke commissions rather than series-production cars. Ferrari’s corporate release identifies the HC25 as part of the Special Projects programme, which is the division the company uses for individualized builds. (netcarshow.com) ### What stands out in the design description? NetCarShow says the HC25 has a “strong graphic identity” built around a dual-volume form. Its description says the front and rear are meant to read visually as “two distinct bodies,” joined by a wrapping, highly three-dimensional central band. (ferrari.com) Ferrari’s own description aligns with that account. The company says the project reinterprets the forms and aesthetic codes of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined spiders with a forward-looking approach, while third-party automotive coverage has linked the styling to cues seen on newer Ferrari models. (ferrari.com) ### What does the reveal not tell us? NetCarShow’s page is focused on styling, imagery and listed specifications, not on launch timing for any broader Ferrari powertrain strategy. The page does not frame the HC25 as an electric-car marker, and Ferrari’s own May 15 announcement instead identifies it as a mid-rear internal-combustion V8 model derived from the F8 Spider. (netcarshow.com) That makes the HC25, on the published record so far, a design-led one-off rather than a signal of a new mainstream Ferrari model line. Ferrari has not, in the materials reviewed here, announced production numbers beyond the One-Off designation or attached a public price. (ferrari.com) ### Where can readers see it next? Ferrari said on May 15 that the HC25 “will be on display” at Ferrari Racing Days at Circuit of the Americas in Austin. NetCarShow’s gallery page remains live with the May 23 publication date, and Ferrari’s corporate article remains available with the company’s event and design description.
