The Ferrari F8 Tributo has been revealed at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show as a replacement to the 488 GTB. It’s a 488 GTB wearing a new suit but the changes go far beyond some minor aero tweaks and power boost. Much like the Bugatti Divo, the new F8 Tributo takes on a whole new persona with its different body panels, all while paying homage to past models like the 308 GTB and the F40. And it also packs Ferrari's most powerful road-going V8 ever used in a mainstream model.
On the inside, every element of the dash, door panels, and tunnel, has been completely redesigned. New additions to the interior include round air vents, a new steering wheel, and controls as well as a new 7-inch passenger touchscreen display.
The F8 Tributo gets a new 710bhp version of Ferrari’s 3.9-liter V8 engine, which is a 49bhp upgrade on the 488 GTB, and the same output as the limited-run 488 Pista and also that of the car’s biggest rival, the McLaren 720S. It’ll record 0-100Kph in 2.9s, 0-200Kph in 7.8s and a top speed of 340 Kph.
The F8 Tributo is also 40 kg lighter than the car it replaces and benefits from a 10% improvement in aerodynamic efficiency.
