Ferrari F8 for sale

The Ferrari F8 is the successor to the 488. It is a mid-rear-engined, two-seater sports car that, from 2019 until 2023, represented Ferrari’s latest interpretation of the classic Berlinetta. The F8 was offered as a coupe called the Tributo and as a convertible, labelled the Spider.

The F8 offers a handsome look that references previous V8 models. The V8 behind the seats is an impressive 3.9-litre, twin-turbo V8 that delivers 488 Pista-matching power and torque- 710bhp and 568lb ft respectively. The F8 is up to 40kg lighter than the previous 488 GTB, thanks to weight-saving measures such as carbon fibre wheels. This means its performance is staggering, dashing from a standstill to 62mpg in just under 3 seconds. The convertible means the F8 can offer wind in your hair thrills as well, with marginal weight gains of around 90kg over the Tributo. The Tributo’s flat-plane crank V8 has a rich character that Ferrari feeds helpfully into the cockpit for better access to your auditory senses.

The F8 incorporates aerodynamic tricks borrowed from the 488 Pista to deliver more downforce for less drag- for example, moving the engine air intakes from the side pods to just in front of the rear spoiler. Ferrari has also developed its Slide Slip Control (SSC) and added Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer Plus (FDE+) in an attempt to make the F8 easier to handle at the limit. The Interior is suitably special for a Ferrari. Drop low into the seats, and directly in front of you sits a flat-bottomed steering wheel that houses a remarkable number of controls, such as the famous red Manettino switch that controls the vehicle’s driving dynamics. The F8’s interior offers two displays on either side of the rpm gauge that can serve various purposes, from displaying various gauges to Satellite Navigation.

The F8 achieves 22-23 mpg combined WLTP and Co2 emissions of 292/km. This is marginally better than some of the F8’s biggest competition, such as the McLaren 720s, which only manages 18mpg combined, though the 702s’ CO2 emissions are lower, at 276g/km. To top it off, Ferrari servicing will never be cheap. Running costs are hardly a Supercar’s strong point, however, and the car’s strengths lie far away from hypermiling.
