Ferrari F8 Tributo

It's not dark enough for grigio silverstone plus the paint on the F8 has a hint of gold in it.

This is GS here in broad daylight....no gold....and, out of the light it is very dark as you can see in the shade across the hood.

Agree looks more like Titanio than darker Silverstone but photo looks processed so difficult to tell.

 

It seems just lighting tricks.

Here is a closer shot to the back of F8

I never thought there were actual holes in the rear glass (plastic), i could put my fingers inside lol

So OK for water to get into engine bay when washing? My Huracan's transparent engine bonnet has open slats but they are beveled and on the sides and not in the middle.

 

Already happens on the 488. There are vents on each side of the glass. Won’t hurt.

 

To be frankly speaking when i had the chance to get closer to F8 and take photos.

The car looks much much bettert than the photos

What a lovely car. Waiting for Spider version to place the order as soon as my dealer informs me

Ps Im not a coupe guy

 

Side shot taken by my iPhone

For me i would go with different rims. Forged maybe?

But the car is aggressive and awesome

Good to know. I owned a 458 Spider didnt notice vents which are present on coupe.

 

These rims on the show cars are the only available forged ones so far - standard wheels are the 488 standard wheels. My guess is that other options may be introduced even before the first deliveries.

 

The F40 has large, open slats on the engine cover and so does the Aventador. The engine does get a bit wet, but that 's not really an issue.

 

Thanks for all the pics, nice job!

Thanks for your kind words

 

Check out the current issue of TOFM, issue 42

The main article is devoted to
The F8 tributo. As usual, there are some great photographs of the Tributo.

(In this issue there is an article about my 458 on page 20.)

 

Thanks for the "heads-up!"

I don't like the black flares on the side bottom of the front spoiler. They stick out and ruin the lines of the front end. The blue shape looks great and the black sticking out looks awful. I don't care if it makes the car 0.001 ms faster or more downforce at 200 mph. The nose looks ok but they have gone with a more technical look. The car is just an evolution of the 488 and not really new IMHO. Some nice refinements but they are coming out with way too many versions of the same car and it's getting old. Time for a big design change to this 8 cyl line. The 458 is still the best looking in this line. Of course Pininfarina designed.

I agree wholeheartedly ! It’s all getting a bit Apple like boring ! I moved my deposit from the F8 Spyder to 812 Spyder because I need a breath of Ferrari freshness !

 

Agreed +1

Sorry for bad quality

 

STILL looks like a Lotus from the rear

 

Wow! It remind me F12berlinetta rear! I love that T-theme

 

It will be more or less similar to the 488
