The design of the new hypercar Ferrari F8 created in Tributo Ferrari Styling Center that believes that I created the "new design language" that will now "sound" key features "civilized" products of the legendary brand from Maranello.
As special solutions, however, already passed the test on the coupe and spider models 488 Pista, is the duct S-Duct in the Central lower part of the front, reminiscent of Formula 1 cars.
Continuity in the salon F8 Tributo to its predecessor 488 Pista obvious as the fact that every detail is creatively recycled.
The most striking impressive vents of the ventilation system is designed as nozzles of small turbines. Of new gadgets has 7-inch touchscreen display for the entertainment of the sole passenger.
And yet, the most remarkable change from F8 Tributo is under the hood (which in turn is placed over the heads of driver and passengers. This is the Ferrari biturbomotor 3.9, which is already three years in a row (2016-2018) won the honorary title of the "world engine of the Year".
So that the word Tributo in the name of the new Ferrari F8 Berlinetta the reward of honor that is an outstanding motor with a specific power output of 185 HP per liter! At F8 it produces 720 HP and 770 N•m, i.e. the same as on the coupe 488 Pista, working in conjunction with a 7-speed RCP. In this case, the firm claim "the most powerful V8 in the history of Ferrari," like its predecessor and was not at all. It seems that in Maranello for a new model-a successor propose to consider the top of the previous version of the 488 GTB. Disperse hundreds at F8 is 2.9 (y Pista – 2,85 C) acceleration from standstill to 200 km/h in 7,8 s (7,6), the maximum speed reaches 340 km/h (340 km/h). Dimensions: 4611х1979х1206 mm (4605х1975х1206 mm).
New transparent cover with air duct over the engine is called Lexan, although ideologically goes back to the famous model F40.
World debut Tributo F8 will take place at the Geneva motor show that opens in five days. And then there will be announced prices, which, of course, lower prices on the same model will not. However, "fastest" Tributo Ferrari F8 not stay long, as this year has yet to receive the eight-cylinder hybrid hypercar, which is quite able to push in this race, both models F8 and 488 Tributo Pista.
