On an F8, tread is more likely to be an issue than age I'd imagine. F8 was sold between 2019 and 2022 no? So if its one of the earliest models and...
If its the same as my 458, the Sports Exhaust option is just different exhaust tips (they are a black / charcoal colour rather than the normal...
For me its a 458 and a W204 C63 AMG (the pre-turbo naturally aspirated one) - if the latter counts as a "sports" car. I'll probably be getting rid...
Not heard of them before, looks like they might also be English (despite the name!)
Nice cars. Not to be pedantic about "the smell of Italian leather", but doesn't Connolly Leather (English) supply Ferrari?
Put it in manual...! But in all seriousness, not sure. My 458 is sluggish in auto even when you floor it. I think its just the way they are -...
Not sure, but from anecdotal experience only, I've never felt that my 458 felt particularly urgent below 6,000RPM in fourth gear. I'd always be...
What Trev said. This is the first thing to check for sure. If the tyres are ten years old then they will have degraded and it won't necessarily...
Fair enough. If I've got an upcoming passing opportunity, personally I typically change down to the gear I'll want for the pass before I actually...
I'm not sure why you would generally be on throttle downshifting? If I'm downshifting it's typically because I'm braking in the lead up to a...
This is definitely not a thing. One pull on the shifter downshifts one gear, it does not skip gears. If I want to go from 7 to 5 I can pull the...
Why?
Nice problem to have! In your position, I'd be tempted to keep the F8 Tributo and spring for the 812 GTS. For me, the primary benefit of a...
I don't have a problem with two tone interiors generally (although probably not keen in a Ferrari) but more importantly I'm not a fan of that...
What do you mean when you say lowest of the three? Lowest what?
I've never heard of such a thing to be honest. The fact its from an official Ferrari dealer would give me some comfort, but I'd still be a little...
Interesting take. I think the non-carbon/LED wheel looks even more dated - it essentially retains the design language from the 430 where so much...
Agree that LED steering wheel and scuderia shields are must haves both for resale and because (in my view) the car doesn't look anywhere near as...
orange... you think it would look better with orange seats? I don't agree
This is interesting and not something that I had heard previously. Is there anything which can be done preventatively for the DCT or just a matter...
