Compare the2026 Ferrari F80VS 2026 Chevrolet Corvette

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive is standard on the F80. But it costs extra on the Corvette.

The F80’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Corvette doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the F80 and the Corvette have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems and rearview cameras.

The F80 comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The Corvette’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

The F80’s corrosion warranty is unlimited miles longer than the Corvette’s (unlimited vs. 100,000 miles).

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the F80 for 7 years and unlimited miles. Ferrari will pay for oil changes, air filter replacements, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Chevrolet only pays for the first scheduled maintenance visit on the Corvette.

For smoother operation, better efficiency and fewer moving parts, the F80 has an overhead cam design, rather than the old pushrod design of some of the engines in the Corvette.

The F80’s 3.0 turbo V6 hybrid produces 694 more horsepower (1184 vs. 490) than the Corvette’s standard 6.2 V8. The F80’s 3.0 turbo V6 hybrid produces 689 more horsepower (1184 vs. 495) than the Corvette Z51’s standard 6.2 V8. The F80’s 3.0 turbo V6 hybrid produces 529 more horsepower (1184 vs. 655) than the Corvette E-Ray’s standard 6.2 V8 hybrid.

On the EPA test cycle the F80 gets better mileage than the Chevrolet Corvette running its gasoline engine:

In heavy traffic or at stoplights the F80’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. If the conditions warrant or the driver wishes, the system can be manually disabled at any time for the duration of a trip. The Corvette doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Ferrari F80 higher (5 out of 10) than the Chevrolet Corvette (2 to 4). This means the F80 produces up to 20.8 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Corvette every 15,000 miles.

For better stopping power the F80’s standard brake rotors are larger than those on the Corvette:

The F80’s brakes have 53% more swept area (the area covered by the brake pads) than the Corvette (978.7 vs. 640 square inches), so the F80 has more braking power available.

For better traction, the F80 has larger tires than the Corvette (F:285/30R20 & R:345/30R21 vs. F:245/35R19 & R:305/30R20). The F80’s front tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Corvette (F:285/30R20 & R:345/30R21 vs. F:275/30R20 & R:345/25R21).

The F80’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Corvette’s standard 35 series front tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the F80 has standard 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels. Smaller 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are standard on the Corvette.

The F80 offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Chevrolet doesn’t offer an active suspension on the Corvette.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the F80 is 1.4 inches wider in the front and 1.2 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the Corvette.

The F80’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Corvette’s manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.

To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the F80 offers optional adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The Corvette doesn’t offer cornering lights.

The Ferrari F80 has power folding mirrors that offer unparalleled convenience while maneuvering in tight places or parked. With the mirrors folded it’s easier to walk past and help prevent parking damage. The mirrors can be quickly unfolded when the driver is ready to leave. Power folding mirrors costs extra on the Corvette.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the F80 has a standard Adaptive CruiseControl, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Corvette doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.
