F8 [2019-2023] [Official] Ferrari F8 Tributo

[SNB]

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.

I agree, the cars are technical masterpieces however they’ve lost a little character recently, which as Henry Catchpole stated, not entirely their fault, it’s due to regulations. The electric thing is going to be interesting, Porsche has made a case for itself, in the sense that it’s the best driving electric car so there are area in which automakers can differentiate themselves but I don’t see how people will be willing to buy expensive electric cars that will be outdated in a few years. That’s like buying a $10,000 phone cause it’s made of better materials than an iPhone or Samsung but the next iPhone or Samsung will triumph it in every measurable way. We saw that happen with Vertu, the ‘luxury’ phone maker. It doesn’t work, luxury electronics aren’t a thing.

EU regulations should exempt the super car makers. They do the world a great service.

I agree, their production levels aren’t really effecting C02 emissions. They should be regulating the cargo ship builders, airplane manufactures, semi builders, and tractor/farming equipment. Not super/hypercar manufactures.

Taking out the silly name since it seems with only "F8" it was more than fine, it is a great Ferrari in all its splendor

The design is starting to grow on me.

Nice is an understatement. Those are drool inducing.

Same here. This one took a while.

The front 3 quarter look is the cars best. It's perfect. I really couldn't think of how to improve it from a mix of power and elegance. Especially in Nero Daytona.

Both cars are quite heavy considering they have only 1/4 tank....they weigh aprox the same as when magazines test them with full tank.

He also weighed his Huracan Evo, and that was 1602kg (fuel level not specified).

The claimed F8 kerb weight is clearly Ferrari wishing their car weighed anywhere close to the Mclaren . I still remember how Ferrari said that their aluminium construction expertise allowed them to not switch to CF to reach competitive weight with the release of the 458. That was 10 years ago and clearly they have been caught napping. Even the Evo would be lighter if it didn't have AWD.

The 765LT is 80kg lighter still and with another 45PS its going to thrash the Ferrari in the sprints.

720S is usually in tests heavy around 1440kg with full tank.
