Today (April 13), the actual car of the F8 Tributo, the successor to the Ferrari 488 series, finally arrived in the store. For such an important model, "Car One Circle" naturally has to rush early to grab the first place. Although every Ferrari model can be called a classic, there is no doubt that the mid-mounted V8 engine model is the purest Ferrari. So what would it be like to get up close and personal with this latest and most classic pure Ferrari? Brother Quan will tell you right away.
More radical design, stronger performance assistance
Entering the Ferrari showroom, this F8 Tributo was placed in the absolute C position. Looking at the front face, you can clearly feel that this car is more aggressive than its predecessor, whether it is the 488GTB or the 458. The extremely low front of the car not only retains the shape of the shark nose, but the air intakes on both sides have been further refined, separating the air intakes for cooling the brake discs. Not only does it achieve better practical effects, it also makes the front of the car look more attractive.
In addition, there is a hollow spoiler on the front of the car, which is rare on relatively conservative Ferrari models. Lafa has such a design. At the same time, the design of the air intake is also added to the headlights. It can be said that the front part of the Ferrari F8 Tributo body has taken the aerodynamic design to the extreme.
On the side, every line is also designed to comply with aerodynamics, without a trace of excess waste. In short, it is quite beautiful. It is worth noting that today’s car is equipped with 20-inch forged wheels. Although they are Ferrari’s classic five-spoke shape, their visual impact is significantly stronger, and the shape design also contains elements to reduce wind resistance. . The four tires of a car are to the car just like shoes to people, and their importance is self-evident.
In addition, the air intake of the F8 Tributo engine is not located behind the door panel, which provides downforce for the body. The real air intake of the engine is designed at the rear of the roof, and enters the engine compartment through the spoiler of the rear wing. It can make the temperature of the air before combustion lower and more effectively improve the power performance of the engine.
You can see a very complex line design directly behind. In addition to the patented active rear wing above, what is special is that the car does not use a round taillight design on one side. Instead, it uses the same bilateral dual taillight design as the flagship model 812, which makes it more recognizable and less annoying to look at. Below are the same two large exhaust outlets as the 488GTB, but the spoiler design below is more complex. Various upgraded designs not only give the F8 Tributo a more radical appearance, but also have practical effects such as increasing downforce by 15% and improving aerodynamic efficiency by 10%.
Classic interior, combining luxury and sport
Then let’s take a look inside the car. Although a person with a height of 180cm will not feel too comfortable in this car with a height of only 1.206m. Elegant, but Brother Quan will try his best to be the most handsome. Sitting in the driver's seat, it was really hard for Brother Quan to suppress his excitement, so he quickly pressed the red start button to enjoy the sound.
The sports seats are naturally not soft, but the full carbon fiber and thick leather wrapping make people feel no discomfort at all. On the contrary, they feel wrapped very firmly and tightly. When holding the steering wheel, Brother Quan clearly feels that the size of the steering wheel is smaller than that of the 488GTB. This is definitely a very correct change. Not only can the steering operation be more agile, but it can also indirectly increase the space in the car.
The instrument panel is divided into three sections. From left to right, the vehicle's setting information, tachometer and gear position, and multimedia information are displayed. At the same time, in front of the co-pilot, there is an LCD screen below the F8 Tributo logo. Between the driver and passenger are the gear button and emergency light button framed by carbon fiber. Also, let me remind you, the window button is also here.
The interior of the F8 Tributo feels both sporty and luxurious. Although a lot of carbon fiber materials are used, there are also more leather materials and Alcantara materials. It can bring you the wildest and original fighting atmosphere, and at the same time, it also guarantees you an equivalent experience. This is something that Brother Quan agrees with. If you spend millions or even tens of millions to buy a supercar that is made entirely of hard carbon fiber to let you feel the pure spirit, not many people can accept it. The Ferrari F8 Tributo, which combines the two, does it just right.
The power is further improved, and acceleration from 0 to 100km/h takes only 2.9 seconds
Finally, let’s take a look at the core heart of the F8 Tributo. The car uses a 3.9L twin-turbocharged medium Install V8 engine. The maximum power reaches 720 horsepower, an increase of 50 horses compared to the 488GTB. The zero-to-zero acceleration time is within 3 seconds, taking only 2.9 seconds. At the same time, the car's body mass is only 1,330kg, which is 40kg lighter than the 488GTB, which is equivalent to being able to fit one more girl in the co-pilot. Various improvements have made the F8 Tributo's acceleration time from zero to zero 0.1 seconds higher than that of the 488 GTB. Now everyone should be able to imagine how much effort it takes to increase this speed by a small amount, right? It's a pity that we can't let everyone feel the sound of this F8 Tributo. Brother Quan has stepped on it many times, and it is really beautiful.
Tributo is actually Spanish and means "tribute" in English. Judging from this naming, it is enough to show that the car has a high collection value. As for this mid-mounted V8 engine model that has been significantly upgraded in all aspects, the price has also repeatedly bottomed out like its zero-to-100 acceleration time, starting from 2.988 million yuan and falling into less than 3 million yuan. According to "Car One Circle", which ranks among the top ten in the country, the word cost-effectiveness itself has nothing to do with Ferrari. But for the F8 Tributo, with its strong product strength and "people-friendly" price, it has become the cost-effective king among super sports cars. Does a McLaren worth more than two million have the flavor of a Ferrari?
