F8 Tributo or Huracan Evo 4WD

I need some help deciding between the F8 Tributo and Huracan Evo 4WD. I will provide some info for what I am looking for. F8 likely a 20/21 plate and Evo 22. Approx £200k, not looking to go over £225k but willing to spend more on an F8 to get a 21 plate.

Any options that are a must? will get 360 camera for F8 & will have both sides of the Evo repaired once a year!
I am looking for something as comfortable as possible so will be getting leather, full electric seats for either.
I will likely only keep the car for 2 or 3 years.
I will get one with the manufacturers warranty and intend to extend it.
No carbon fibre on the bottom half of the vehicle or wheels (Ferrari) but dripping elsewhere would be ideal!
No track use. Occasional EU trip, Germany and Cote d'Azur, Le Mans.
Limited 'Race' & 'Corsa' mode usage. I don't wish to make a common mistake, though maybe the exhaust note of the huracan may force me to use 'Corsa' mode more often for the sound.

Sadly the F8 is only rear wheel drive but I am also not complaining, i just prefer 4WD for UK weather, though the ferrari wet mode is excellent as I have read. I know I will get caught in the rain, UK!
Is the huracan 'strada' mode as good for wet driving / better than the F8 'wet' mode?
I have not test driven either but have been driven in both.
The F8 has held it's value better over the last few months.
Is the cruise control on the F8 easy to access / use while driving? Evo has buttons on the steering wheel for cruise. I believe the buttons for the F8 are on the dash?
How is the launch control on the F8? Is it limited? Can this be used frequently on the F8 without causing too many problems? Do i need to ask how many times the F8 has been launched? Same for the evo.

My brain is fried at this point, it would be great to hear about the differences from people experienced with both.
Are there any / many complaint's about the F8's reliability? I have only heard good things, but everyone raves about how bulletproof the Evo's engine is.

 

I'm just a touch under 5' 9". Cruise control will help me keep my licence on the motorway!
So the F8 is more comfortable and sits slightly higher. I will get the front lift on either.
Great info, thanks.

 

I get the AWD & 4WD difference

 

Not so easy to get a test drive in the UK, fairly standard here unless you are known.
I doubt I would care much in any case as either are dream cars. Also modern so easy to drive casually!

 

Great info, I was thinking about asking on the lambo forum also, so i will do.
really good info though, if you found it comfortable I am sure I will too.
height or size isn't an issue for me.
You are spot on for all the points you made. I agree with the F8 aging better.

 

Thanks, I've had a few vehicles but a level down! cruise is a must for me as I would take it to the EU with plenty of motorway driving. It is very difficult keeping it at a steady pace without the cruise. It's also extremely handy here where we have speed cameras. Drive as you do then stick on the cruise where the cameras are. It's an instant 3 points on your licence and a small fine. 12 points and licence gone. So, yes you could lose your licence on one stretch of road here. We also have them on motorways as its a common trick that people drive fast against another car, then slam on the brakes just before you get to the camera and watch the other noodle get flashed. My friends in Seattle were not happy about this when I told them about the cameras here as i believe it may be illegal there??

 

Hi, could i possibly see a pic and get the specs of your F8? Would be very interested if it's no trouble.

 

Thanks, beautiful car.

 

Thanks, didn't think this was off tangent at all. Very interesting insight and indeed I too am a big 458 & NA fan. But those F8 specs such as top speed and as many youtube reviews state the F8 is along the lines of the 'best supercar in the world' for price! TopNL review was great. I believe the 458 will become a future classic that could increase in price fairly significantly but not OTT, again in good time, I agree this could just be wishful thinking. For me the 458 was the first Ferrari that was as appealing on the inside as well as the outside. Thank you for your advice.

 

Out of interest, though this is not the vehicle for me, I see a silver F8 on autotrader (UK) for £219,995. It is drippiong in CF inside and out including CF wheels so a big no no for me as I will not get CF on lower part of vehicle especially wheels! Also I much prefer red which carry a premium as they disappear very quickly.

If you look at the first pic I have posted the air intake above the front lights are to cool the brakes (please correct me if I am wrong, don't hold back!) However, this section has CF trim. Rather than embarass myself with speculation and fuel the disbelievers... Why? I think I may know and i'm sure as soon as I am told it will match the first answer that is in my mind! Is this the 'carbon fibre headlight bucket' option?

It is the 'carbon fibre headlight bucket' option, which looks like it covers the entire air intake for the brakes (which is why I asked my last question) but I think it just looks like it and it does let air through to the brakes. It's difficult to tell from pictures comparing with carbon fibre and without. I am off in the morning to test drive a Lotus Emira so may pop over to Ferrari but it's over an hour further away so I will see. Emira's here start at £60k for a 2023 with around 10k miles but for £65k they have a 2024 model with 425 miles. Beautiful car and price! Maybe in a couple of years or so after this purchase. I'm sure one day I will get an Emira though.
