Specifications

~$280,000
Engine: 3.9L Twin-Turbocharged V8
Torque: 770 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~2.9 s
The Ferrari F8 Tributo represents the apex of Ferrari’s twin-turbo V8 evolution — a swan song for the pure internal combustion V8 era before the arrival of hybrid successors. With 720 horsepower, lightning-quick throttle response, and a 2.9-second 0–100 km/h sprint, the F8 delivers supercar-level performance in a package that's refined, balanced, and brutally effective.
At its heart lies the F154 CB engine, derived from the 488 Pista but further refined for road use. Lightweight internals, low inertia twin-scroll turbos, and Ferrari’s Variable Boost Management system make it exceptionally responsive, minimizing turbo lag while delivering full torque only in higher gears for optimal traction and control.
The aerodynamics draw from Ferrari’s GT racing knowledge: the S-Duct (from the 488 Pista), redesigned rear spoiler, underbody vortex generators, and compact rear diffuser contribute to increased downforce without sacrificing elegance. With Side Slip Control 6.1 and Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer+, the F8 is also more accessible at the limit than any mid-engine V8 before it.
Inside, the cockpit combines tradition and technology, retaining a driver-focused analog layout while integrating modern digital displays and refined materials. The steering remains free of distractions — no touchscreen in sight — just pure focus on the driving experience.
As the last non-hybrid mid-engine V8 Ferrari, the F8 Tributo and Spider close a legendary chapter in Maranello's history — delivering performance on par with hypercars, while remaining intimately mechanical and evocatively Ferrari.
Body Styles
The Ferrari F8 was offered in two forms: the F8 Tributo coupe and the F8 Spider with a retractable hardtop. Both models retained the sculptural mid-engine silhouette of their predecessors but introduced aerodynamic refinements inspired by Ferrari’s racing division. The Tributo featured an S-Duct front nose, Lexan rear engine cover with louvers (a nod to the F40), and enhanced underbody aerodynamics.
The Spider retained the coupe’s lines while integrating a retractable hardtop that folds in just 14 seconds at speeds up to 45 km/h. Both cars featured lightweight aluminum construction, with a balance between downforce, weight savings, and road usability. The F8 marks the final evolution of Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 berlinetta line before hybridization.
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
The “F8 Tributo” name directly refers to the "tribute" to Ferrari’s V8 legacy. “F8” signals Ferrari + 8 cylinders, while “Tributo” honors the final outing of the F154 engine — a motor that earned the International Engine of the Year award four times consecutively (2016–2019).
The F8 wasn't a revolutionary redesign but rather a highly evolved successor to the 488 GTB, incorporating performance and styling lessons from the Pista. It was intended as a celebratory swan song to the analog sensations of Ferrari’s pure V8 era before electrification took over.
Model Name Meaning (Languages)
“F8 Tributo” is a universal name, composed of two globally understood elements: an alphanumeric designation and an Italian word synonymous with reverence. In all markets, the “Tributo” conveys a sense of finality and appreciation. The name holds especially deep resonance for collectors and purists, as it is the last non-electrified V8 mid-engine Ferrari coupe with full ICE character.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The F8 range was offered in an extensive selection of Ferrari’s most expressive and historic colors. These included Rosso Corsa, Blu Corsa, Giallo Modena, Grigio Titanio, and Nero Daytona, as well as more exclusive paints like Rosso Fuoco, Bianco Italia, Verde British, and Blu Pozzi via the Tailor Made program. Ferrari introduced several new finishes for the F8, including Rosso Portofino Metallizzato and Grigio Scuro Opaco, with optional two-tone roof treatments in Nero DS or matte carbon.
Interior trims ranged from traditional full-grain leather in Nero, Beige Tradizione, Cuoio, or Rosso, to Alcantara race-inspired interiors with extensive carbon fiber and colored stitching. Options included contrasting tachometer faces, colored seat belts, and carbon fiber sill plates. The optional LED steering wheel and driver zone in carbon became common upgrades, while the F8 also introduced a central display for the passenger in the dashboard fascia.
Wheels came standard as 20-inch cast alloys, with optional forged wheels available in silver, Grigio Corsa, or gloss black. Special configurations included diamond-cut finishes, Satin Gold, and matte dark grey forged racing wheels. Carbon-ceramic brakes were standard, with calipers offered in a wide array of colors to match body or interior schemes. The tires were Michelin Pilot Sport 4S or optional Pirelli P Zero Corsa for more aggressive setups.

vs Competitors
The Ferrari F8 rivaled the McLaren 720S, Lamborghini Huracán EVO / STO, and Porsche 911 Turbo S (992). Against the McLaren, the F8 was praised for having superior cabin quality, a more emotional soundtrack, and a more playful chassis, though the 720S edged it slightly on outright grip and aero. Compared to the Huracán, the F8 offered greater low-end torque and a less brutal ride, though the Lamborghini’s V10 and drama remained unmatched. The Porsche 911 Turbo S excelled in tech and usability but couldn’t rival the F8’s rawness and charisma. The F8 Spider in particular gave Ferrari fans the closest thing to a Pista convertible, without the waitlists or collector premiums.
Fun Fact
The F8’s 3.9L twin-turbo V8 is the most awarded engine in Ferrari history, winning International Engine of the Year not just four years in a row, but also the "Best Engine of the Last 20 Years". The car itself marks the final non-hybrid V8 mid-engine Ferrari, closing the chapter that began with the 308 GTB and stretching through the 355, 430, 458, and 488. Its name “Tributo” was chosen not for marketing – but as a farewell.
