Unveiled to acclaim at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari F8 Tributo stands as a worthy successor to the iconic 488, blending formidable performance with classic Ferrari styling. While it doesn’t push the boundaries like the SF90 Stradale, which straddles the supercar-hypercar divide, the F8 Tributo commands attention with its raw power and precision.
Under the hood roars a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, shared with the illustrious 488 Pista. This powerhouse churns out an impressive 710 horsepower (720 PS) and delivers a muscular 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. Thanks to advanced Launch Control technology, this Ferrari rockets from 0 to 60 mph (97 kph) in a blistering 2.9 seconds, with 100 mph (160 kph) reached in just 5.8 seconds.
Beyond its impressive speed, the F8 Tributo is a masterclass in aerodynamic efficiency, with sleek lines and a sophisticated design that enhances both performance and aesthetic appeal. From its commanding presence on the road to its exhilarating driving dynamics, the F8 Tributo embodies Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of automotive excellence, making it a true icon of modern supercar engineering.
You can keep going to a quarter mile, which is covered in 10.5 seconds, and if you’ve got room, you’ll eventually max out at 211 mph (340 kph). There will never come a time when this car won’t be considered extremely quick.
One owner that’s certainly having a blast behind the wheel is Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, who many would argue is the best player at his position in the NFL.
The Chiefs player gifted his wife this stunning F8 Tributo on Mother’s Day, and from the looks of it, it seems to feature a Rosso Mugello exterior and a Beige leather interior. The seats appear to be either the standard ones you get on the F8 or what Ferrari calls ‘Specific design seats’ – they’re more or less the same.
As for Patrick Mahomes, he got the Chiefs off to a good start this season, as the team is currently first in the AFC West with a 2-1 record. Up next for them is a road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where Mahomes will match up against none other than Tom Brady.
