This makes the F8 Tributo the fastest series production, mid-engined V8 Ferrari ever. It is also 40kgs lighter and has 15 percent more downforce than the 488. The F8 Tributo is essentially an evolution from the 488, more so of the 488 Pista. In fact, the engine is the same as was used in the Pista and although the improvements in responses and downforce has been quite marginal, they all add up to make for some difference. It still remains as sensational as a mid-engined V8 Ferrari can get.

In terms of design, that too is a evolution from the 488. Its a very modern design but it sometimes looks quite retro from certain angles, rightfully justifying its name. The bumpers and air intakes are new, the headlamps are new, and the S-duct intake at the rear is also new. In fact, the doors and the roof are the only body panels to have been continued from the 488. If you are into older Ferrari’s, you would know that twin rear tail-light clusters are reminiscent of the 1975 308 GTB – the first eight-cylinder Berlinetta. And those louvres on the engine cover, well they have come from the mighty F40.
