Here it is the Ferrari F8 Tributo, a replacement of 488 GTB

Its 3,902 cc twin turbo engine is said able to emit power of 710 hp at 8,000 rpm and 770 Nm of torque at 3,250 rpm. This engine was made by Ferrari to satisfy the speed enthusiast because it is able to move from rest to a speed of 100 kph in 2.9 seconds.

Ferrari revealed Tributo only weighs 1,330 kilograms with lighter model options that can be given to consumers who want a faster model. Lightweight aluminum frames are more chosen than using carbon fiber used for the rigidity of this model.

About the design of the vehicle, Ferrari gave it to their mainstay design house, the Ferrari Centro Stile. And the 488 GTB style is still felt by looking at the aerodynamic side.

Ferrari makes this car ready to attack by providing an air duct on the front that increases the compressive force and airflow towards the cabin. Large air intakes are placed for the cooling process on the radiator and ceramic carbon braking system.

Next, the LED headlight is a concern on the front side. For the rear of the double-rounded stoplamp and small wings, it reminds this car of the legendary F40 design.

Additional two exhausts on the rear that are paired with aero scoop make this car look aggressive. The design in this section resembles the previous 488 model.

Go inside, the design is very driver-oriented. An analog tachometer is placed in the center using the TFT screen. Large screens like the Lusso and Portofino GTC4 models are not found on this model.

Ferrari revealed this model will be sold later in the year, so we’ll have to wait to see if the F8 can defeat another mighty supercar such as McLaren, etc. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FERRARI | NEW ATLAS]
