The Ferrari F8 (Type F142MFL) is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari. The car is the successor to the Ferrari 488 and pays homage to the last 45 years of Ferrari’s mid-engine V8s. It was unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.

This would make it faster than, the lighter Pista, in a straight line.

Which tyres did they use? Do you have full scans?
F8 replacement to be slotted under the SF90 Stradale, will have a 3.0l V6 TT hybrid and RWD only (all info from FerrariChat)
No problem, excited for this car hopefully it’ll be a game changer.

I wonder how the switch to V6s is gonna work out. No doubt the cars are gonna more power, etc, BUT the number of cylinders and size of the engine are such large parts of these cars, I am not sure you can just take them away without also removing a lot of what makes them desirable. Would you really be that excited to buy a Ferrari that has smaller engine with fewer cylinders than your german saloon? Would you be happy with owning a TT V6 when you can still get an NA V10 car from Lamborghini? Also, 3L TT engine will mean a lot more turbo lag, which will have to be offset by bigger electric powertrain, which will mean more weight. Like... it's gonna have the sort of engine you might find in Audi A4, weigh 1600kg+ and probably have 800hp+. What the hell are we even talking about here?

For Ferrari customers the answer is yes. They are happy to buy the latest Ferrari. 488 owners love the torque it has over the 458 and aren't looking back, those who do, own both.

I am quite curious myself. The gap between Ferrari press cars and customer cars is sometimes pretty big. I know that he raced a lot of 488s with his Huracan and won most of the time, which shouldn't happen on a drag strip. I do expect the F8 to be hell of a lot faster, though.
Ferrari has been the king at building V8TT engines without any lag. Even Porsche is behind and so are McLaren according to auto journalists. Plus Lambo won't be able to sell their V10 and V12s soon as they don’t comply with the Euro regulations and VAG is planning on dropping the R8 so the future of the Huracan’s platform is in jeopardy. I wouldn’t worry about the lag, however I would be worried about the sound, every journalist who has driven the F8 and SF90 say they’re muted. A huge part of the driving experience is the sound and if it’s not there I might as well be driving an electric car. Ferrari being Ferrari, the loyalists will buy them, and the spider variant, just to be able to get the ‘special’ version. Ferrari has become a corporate machine, more interested in EPS, Market Cap and shareholders opinion than they are at building great cars or winning racing cars. Sad descent from the leadership of Enzo and LdM.

Partially true. While they are a corporate machine and their current race cars stink, the road cars and the BEST they've ever been and by some margin. The older cars also get more magical all the time. Ferrari is special. Always has been. Always will be. I personally think Enzo would be amazed that Ferrari creates a lagless, elastic turbo charged 4 litre engine pumping out 800 HP.
I do worry greatly though about when cars all go full electric. I cannot see a reason to buy a Ferrari, Lambo, Mclaren in these circumstances.
