Ferrari F8 Tributo First Drive

Matthew Zaiff

For starters- The F8 is gorgeous in person. Definitely an elegant continuation of the 488 architecture. This thing is fast, like humorously fast, couldn’t help but laugh like an idiot every time I got on the skinny pedal. Almost no discernible boost threshold whatsoever, just mash the gas and boom, you’re gone. Love how loud the turbo sounds are inside the cabin.

My only gripe is this decade old interior. Ferrari interiors are good but when compared to McLaren, arguably the masters in exotic interior packaging, the prancing horse has its shortcomings. This car with the new interior out of the Ferrari Roma would be sublime. Overall an insane vehicle and a great progression for the mid-engined V8 exotic segment.
