Ferrari’s replacement for the 488 GTB features the high-revving V-8 from the Pista
The 2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo is an entry-level supercar that the Maranello-based company launched in 2019. The F8 Tributo replaced the 488 GTB, introduced in 2015, but it’s essentially a mid-cycle upgrade and not a brand-new car. The supercar replaces the 488 GTB in the same way that the 812 Superfast and GTC4Lusso replaced the F12berlinetta and FF, respectively, with the facelift accompanied by a nameplate change.
The upgrade is rather significant as far as design goes. Not only sporting new features front and rear, but the F8 Tributo also boasts more aggressive aerodynamics, which are based on the track-ready 488 Pista. The F8 also shares underpinnings with the Pista and generates the same 710 horsepower. The F8 Tributo arrives just in time for the facelifted Lamborghini Huracan Evo and the relatively new McLaren 720S. Let’s find out how they compare.
Updated 03/08/2018: We update this review with a series of new images taken during the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.
The Ferrari F8 is a mid-engine sports car that was introduced in 2019 at the Geneva Motor Show as a 2020 model. It serves as a successor to the Ferrari 488 that was sold from 2015 to 2019. But it happens to feature the same 3.9-liter, twin-turbo, V-8 that powered the 488 Pista that was introduced in 2018 as a more capable model of the 488 GTB. The Ferrari F8 was introduced as the Tributo and sends 710 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque to the ground through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It can hit 62 mph in 2.9 seconds (just as fast as the front-engined, 812 Superfast) and 124 mph in as fast as 7.6 seconds. Top speed is 211 mph. Compared to the 488 GTB, the F8 Tributo has 15-percent more downforce thanks to revised aerodynamics despite the fact that it does look similar to the 488.
At the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, Ferarri introduced the F8 Spider, a topless version of the Tributo coupe. Its major claim to fame is that it’s lighter and more powerful than the 488 spider that it succeeds. It features the same 3.9-liter V-8 under the skin and can hit 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, just a shade slower than the Tributo coupe. With the F8 Tributo hitting the wallet for a minimum of $274,280, the F8 spider should cost in the low $300,000 range before options which could, not surprisingly, increase the entry-level price substantially. The F8 Tributo is on sale as of 2019, but the F8 Spider won’t go on sale until sometime in late 2019 or early 2020.
