Ferrari brings rare hypercars and race machines to New Delhi for first-ever Indian exhibition

The Universo Ferrari exhibition 2026 is currently underway at Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, bringing the Italian brand's road and race cars together on the same stage for the first time in India before concluding on November 1.

The Lineup

Leading the display is the F80, an 80th anniversary hypercar that follows the LaFerrari as the brand's most powerful road car yet. All 799 units of the F80 are already sold out at a price of three million euros each before options. It uses a 1,200 horsepower V6 hybrid engine to go from zero to 100 kph in a claimed 2.15 seconds. Standing beside it are the Luce and the 12Cilindri Manuale. The Luce is the largest Ferrari ever built at 5,026 millimeters long, seats five people, features quad LED tail-lamps, has the lowest drag coefficient of any road-legal Ferrari, and was styled by LoveFrom, the firm co-founded by Jony Ive. The 12Cilindri Manuale is limited to 1,499 units and marks the company's first manual car in 14 years. It pairs a V12 engine with a simulated manual gearbox, featuring a rounded aluminium gear lever inspired by classic gated shifters. An 830 horsepower 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine pushes this car to a top speed of 340 kph.

Racing Heritage

On the racing side, the exhibition features the 499P Le Mans Hypercar, which has won the Le Mans race for three straight years from 2023 to 2025. Also on show is the SF-26, the 2026 Formula 1 car driven by Leclerc and Hamilton, which has already claimed victories at the Spanish and British Grands Prix this year.

Context

Automotive exhibitions like Universo Ferrari allow global luxury and racing brands to showcase their engineering and design milestones directly to enthusiasts in growing international markets outside Europe. These events typically feature a mix of rare limited-edition commercial models and active championship-winning race cars to highlight the direct link between track performance and road car development.
