A brand-new Ferrari F80 has just landed in London, and it has already been through the Autosecureshop workshop. The car now carries a Global Telematics S5+ tracking system. It is the second F80 the team has secured, which, with only 799 built worldwide, is a remarkable share of a very small pie.
Ferrari F80 security is not a topic with much precedent. The car is brand new, and so are the habits of the people who might want to steal one. That is exactly why this job deserved care.
The car is a 2026 F80, the hybrid V6 hypercar that replaced the LaFerrari as Maranello’s halo model. Autosecureshop fitted a Global Telematics S5, a Thatcham-category tracker designed for the sort of theft that happens when the thief knows exactly what they are doing: monitored round the clock, with a control room that acts when the car moves without authority.
Two things about this job need saying plainly. First, the owner’s details stay private, so there are no plates, no locations and no hints. Second, there is nothing here about where the hardware sits in the car. Thieves read installer blogs too, and any good installer keeps that to themselves. What can be shared is the process: a methodical fit, a lot of patience, and a team that treated a car worth more than most houses with the respect it demands.
Ferrari builds excellent cars, but factory security is designed to meet a standard, not to beat a determined professional. Keyless entry, CAN-bus access and relay attacks have all been used against high-end cars, and the UK has no shortage of organised groups who target exactly this kind of vehicle.
The honest answer is that a car like the F80 is more likely to be taken to order than opportunistically. Somebody, somewhere, may want it shipped abroad within hours. That changes what good protection looks like. A siren is irrelevant. Speed of detection and speed of recovery are what count.
That is the argument for a tracker with a monitored control room behind it. A loud alarm warns the neighbours. An S5+ gets the right people moving.
Plenty of owners assume a tracker is a tracker. It is not. Category matters, particularly for insurers, who tend to specify what they will accept on high-value vehicles. The S5+ sits at the upper end of Thatcham’s tracking classes, which is why it turns up on policies for cars that cost serious money to cover.
A tracker does not replace other measures. A sensible owner layers things: a tracker, a CAN-bus immobiliser where the car allows one, careful key storage, and a garage that is not on a public road. No single device does everything, and anybody who says otherwise is selling.
Here the brief mentions something worth dwelling on. The F80 has exclusive styling and what can only be described as challenging cockpit ergonomics. Ferrari has pushed the layout of the car around the driver in a way that looks spectacular and leaves very little room to work.
This matters for installers. Tight, tidy, carbon-heavy interiors punish rushed work. Trim has to come off cleanly and go back without a mark, and nothing can be left that looks as though somebody has been in there. On a car this rare, there is no spare dashboard in the parts bin.
It is also a reminder of why this work belongs with specialists. Fitting a tracker to a family hatchback is a routine job. Fitting one to a hypercar built in tiny numbers is a different discipline, and a mistake is expensive in every sense.
Autosecureshop is a brand trusted by Ferrari, and that is not a throwaway line. Supercar owners, and the manufacturers behind these cars, are protective of who works on them. Trust is earned slowly in this corner of the industry, one clean installation at a time.
It also explains why a second F80 has come through the same workshop. In a market this small, owners talk. Word gets around about who treats the car properly, who keeps a secret and who leaves no trace of their work.
Anybody protecting a car at this level should ask a few direct questions of whoever is doing the work:
A £3m-plus hypercar deserves better than a hope and a handbrake. Ferrari F80 security comes down to the basics done to an exceptionally high standard: the right category of tracker, installed by people who know the car, kept quiet afterwards.
With the F80 now protected and a second one through the doors, Autosecureshop has shown that this kind of work can be done properly in London, discreetly and without fuss. Anybody with a car in this class should be having the same conversation before the first mile, not after the first theft.
Owning a Ferrari F80 is about more than horsepower. It means holding one of just 799 cars ever built, and few investments are harder to replace. As theft techniques grow more sophisticated, relying on factory-fitted protection is no longer enough. Proper Ferrari F80 security combines a Thatcham-category tracker such as the Global Telematics S5 Plus, 24/7 monitoring and professional installation by a team that knows the car. Choosing the right protection before the first mile gives owners far greater confidence that their hypercar stays where it belongs, and makes recovery far more likely if the worst happens.
