2026 Universo Ferrari Exhibition Highlights: F50, Luce, 12Cilindri & SF-26 2026 F1 Car Showcased!

Ferrari is a brand that evokes strong feelings for every enthusiast out there. And to offer its fans a chance to experience the rich legacy, motorsport heritage and its latest products, the brand holds an exhibition called the ‘Universo Ferrari’. For its fifth iteration this year, it was India’s turn, with the showcase being held between October 17 and November 1, 2026 in New Delhi. If you are one of the fans, here are some of its highlights and details about attending the showcase:

Ferrari Luce

Perhaps one of the most talked about Ferrari’s of today’s time, the Luce made its India debut. The brand’s first EV can now be experienced in person at Universo Ferrari. Taking a different direction from traditional Ferrari designs, the Luce has a curvy design language and a four-door form factor that has been a hot topic of discussions. It is also one of those Ferrari’s that focus more on practicality, which is not the case with some of its other offerings.

However, it does perform in the powertrain department with 4 electric motors, 1050 PS of combined power and even an active suspension setup. For more details, check out this story.

Ferrari 12Cilindri Manuale

Next, you have the V12 front-engined 12Cilindri Manuale, which is a limited series run of the 12Cilindri front-engined grand tourer. Let’s be honest - it is not a proper manual transmission. It uses the familiar 8-speed DCT, but with a unique shift-by-wire technology and manual shifter, and even a physical clutch to replicate an analogue feel.

Ferrari F80

Ferrari has also showcased its F80 hypercar, which is the spiritual successor of the LaFerrari that has become iconic in its own right over the decades. With more than 1200 PS on tap, it is one of the most powerful Ferraris ever made and just like its predecessor, relies more on its hybrid technology, rather than added cylinders and features a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, paired to three electric motors that give it a 0-100 kmph time of just 2.15 seconds and a top speed of 350 kmph.

Ferrari SF-26

Taking a turn towards the brand’s motorsport division, you have its 2026 Formula 1 World Championship car on display, called the SF-26. The 2026 edition of the Formula 1 car is a departure from the previous “ground effect” era of Formula 1 cars and is based on the new hybrid era. What that means is you still get the familiar 1.6-litre turbocharged engine, but now paired with a bigger battery pack and more electric power. 

DRS (Drag Reduction System) has now been dropped for a “Boost” function, where drivers get more energy from the hybrid system for overtakes. And for better handling, both the front and rear wings are movable to aid better downforce and handling. At the time of writing, Ferrari sits second in the championship and we hope the Italian manufacturer seals the runner-up place by the end of this year’s season. 

Ferrari 499P

Marking Ferrari’s return to endurance racing after more than five decades, the 499P has received several trophies including 2022, 2023 and 2025 Le Mans victories. Powered by a twin-turbo V6 engine, it puts out 680 PS and features a full carbon-fibre construction that keeps weight at just 1030 kg. You can see the 499P on display at the exhibition in this iteration of Universo Ferrari.

Ferrari F50

A poster-car for nearly every enthusiast born in the 90s and early 2000s, the F50 is one of the most iconic cars made by Ferrari, ever. A mid-engined two-seater supercar, it succeeded the legendary F40, and features an F1-derived 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine that put out an absurd-for-its-time 519 PS of power that sent it from 0-100 kmph in just 3.87 seconds. It is one of the most sought-after classic supercars out there with just 349 units produced globally and a pure analog feel with no power-assist for the steering or brakes and a gated 6-speed manual gearbox.

Ferrari Daytona 365 GTB/4

Another icon from Ferrari’s storied past, the Daytona 365 GTB/4 makes its appearance at Universo Ferrari. Sold in the late 60s and early 70s, it earned a solid reputation for its 1-2-3 finish at the 1967 24 Hours Of Daytona championship. It is powered by a 4.4-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine with six carburettors and a Pininfarina designed body with a long bonnet, stubby tail and a wedge-like shape. It remains a rare and desirable item for collectors with just 1,400 units made and significantly fewer still existing today.

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

Last, but not the least, you can also take a look at the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti which was a four-seater front-engined GT made by the brand in the late 2000s, and precedes the FF. In true Ferrari fashion, it is powered by a 5.7-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine with a 320 kmph top speed and a 0-100 kmph acceleration time of less than 4 seconds.

However, this particular example on showcase has a bit more history to it as well, in the fact that it returns to India nearly 18 years after its iconic 70-day 13,000 km expedition across the country back in 2008, as part of Ferrari’s ‘Magic India Discovery Tour’. It also features a special red and white livery alongside various regional symbols and the Indian tricolour on its tailgate to pay tribute to the drive. Another fun fact is that the cars used in India had thick underbody protection to help them tackle rough roads and terrains in India.

Tickets, Venue & Other Details

If you’d like to visit Universo Ferrari in India, tickets are available online, with the exhibition open for public viewing till November 1. It is being held at the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre in Dwarka, New Delhi. Besides viewing these cars, you will also be able to take a look at the brand’s current lineup including products like the Purosangue, Amalfi, 849 Testarossa and 296 GTB and take a deep dive into the brand’s rich history in motorsports, classic cars and future technologies.

ZigSays…

Universo Ferrari is truly an enthusiast's delight, and if possible, we would suggest you attend the event as an opportunity to see so many of the brand’s heritage in one spot that comes across quite rarely. While we do wish the brand had more interactive activities, a moment like this may come only once in your lifetime, and who could give up the chance to see icons of motorsports up close and personal?
