2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo

The car comes with one fully loaded trim, and that’s all you get. There are not a lot of features it gets as standard, and pretty much everything you need can be put as an optional extra,0and they cost quite a lot. The sportier leather bucket seats hold you in place, as you get pushback on your seats every time you push the throttle. Other major features available with the car are given below.

Ferrari is not known for luxury cars and providing you with a comfortable and modern interior. Still, the modern Ferrari cars come with a very modern-looking interior, and the use of tech has also increased inside the interior. The 2020 Ferrari F8 offers most of these things matched with some serious performance.

Well, there is only one trim on offer, and that comes for $276,550 which is quite a lot of money. For that, you get your basic Ferrari with pretty much all the basic things. You have a ton of customization options for your Ferrari F8 Tributo. You can completely customize the exterior and interior bits with optional packages.

You don’t buy a supercar to be fuel-efficient, admit that. You never pull up at a supercar meet and go around asking the owners about how fuel-efficient the car is. A supercar is meant to go fast and look gorgeous, and that’s what the 2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo is for. It is rated at 15 MPG for the cities, 19 MPG for the highways, and 16 MPG for mixed driving. These are not super good figures, but considering it's a 700 hp supercar, they are quite impressive.

The Huracan is the least fuel-efficient as it has the biggest engine of the bunch. The real surprise is in the form of McLaren, which is the most fuel-efficient here. While the Ferrari might not be the best with the efficiency figures, but a considerably larger fuel tank, means it is the one with the most driving range.

Supercars aren’t meant to have a very comfortable interior as the manufacturers have to keep them weightless to make them fast. So they miss out on a lot of luxury features. Thankfully, that’s not the case with the F8 Tributo, and its interior feels quite a luxurious place to be. The whole dashboard is wrapped in nice Alcantara leather, and even the headliner is also Alcantara. 

There is an option for having carbon fiber inlays in the dashboard and doors which give the cabin a proper sporty feel. We particularly love the turbine-styled AC vents and they look super cool. The steering is a flat bottomed one and very nice to hold. It is one of the best steering wheels in the industry with all the necessary buttons right there so that you’ll never have to leave the wheel while on the move.

As standard, the seats are sport bucket seats, and there are a lot of adjustments available to make sure you are comfortable here. These are also powered and have heating and cooling functionality. For those who want a bit more racing feel, there is an option to have carbon fiber racing seats that are manually adjustable and lack the heating and cooling functionality but are the best ones in the class. They are extremely supportive, and the side bolstering also makes sure that you don’t get tossed around much while thrashing the car on a circuit.

All are two-seater supercars, and none among them reveals their official figure for interior space, so it is impossible to compare that. One thing that can be compared here is that the Porsche has the most space available for the luggage with 13.8 cubic feet of storage available with the rear seats folded down. The Ferrari is nearly as half with 7 cubic feet but is still a lot better than the Huracan which has just 3.5 cubic feet of storage available. Highlights of the interior features include:

• Bucket front seats
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Alcantara trim inside the interior
• Multicolor rev counter
• Carbon fiber racing seats available
• Heads Up display

What’s there to keep you entertained?

Why do you ever need to listen to a music system when you have a twin-turbocharged V8 singing right behind your head? We feel, like us, most of the buyers also would just want to listen to that V8 sing in all its glory. But for those who still want to listen to some music, let us tell you that the supercars are definitely not the right place for that.

There is no infotainment display as standard, and the driver gets two displays in the heads-up unit on either side of the rev counter to manage a few different functions like navigation and radio. Apple CarPlay comes as an option with a 7.0-inch touchscreen on the passenger side which adds some more functionality. There is a 6-speaker sound system by Bose which is at most decent if not great. Highlights of the infotainment features include:

• 7.0-inch touchscreen display available
• 6-speaker Bose sound system
• Bluetooth connectivity for infotainment

If it’s a beauty pageant competition, the Ferrari F8 will definitely win. The car is just so gorgeous to look at that whenever you won’t be driving it you’ll find yourself staring at it. It will get you all the eyeballs while you’ll be on the road. Though there are some colors like the Nero or Giorgio shades that catch less attention, still the overall silhouette makes it quite obvious for the onlookers that they have just witnessed looking at a Ferrari. 

The design is more of an evolution over the 488, and a lot of elements have been taken from the F1 division as the Tributo is the only car after the 488 Pista that gets an S duct in the front which channels the air through the front splitter and then making it flow over the bonnet. The air gets sucked again into the side intakes and at last throw it out of the rear diffuser, thus creating an invisible jacket of air around the car which creates downforce as the car catches more and more speed, and there is nothing bad about the downforce as it helps your tires to keep sticking to the ground. 

The car is very purposefully built for just one purpose, and that is going fast, and it is very evident by the way it is designed. The wheelbase is longer than the other rivals except for the 2020 McLaren 720S Coupe. It also falls behind McLaren only when it comes to the lightest car of the lot. The 2020 Porsche 911 Turbo S has the shortest wheelbase of the lot. Highlights of the exterior features include:

• LED Headlamps
• Twin Taillamps
• Carbon fiber wheels available
• S Duct in the front

Supercars are never being crash-tested by the agencies, especially the ones that come out of the factories in Maranello, Italy. They cost a lot, and it is quite impractical to crash test a car at 40 MPH that can go up to 211 MPH. Also, supercars don’t often come with a lot of driver assistance features, and F8 is no exception.

You do get all your standard safety features like airbags, ABS, EBD, traction control, and stability control. But things like blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking are not offered by the company. The most you get is an all-around camera and all-around parking sensors which also are optional extras. Highlights of the safety features include:

• Tire Pressure Monitoring System
• Rear Parking Aid
• Back-Up Camera
• Traction Control: F1-Trac
• Stability Control: SCM-E
• Brake Assist

2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo vs 2020 McLaren 720S 

The McLaren 720S is a very advanced car in terms of technology and performance. There is some sort of witchcraft going on inside the machine which makes it go that fast. It is lighter than the Ferrari which gives it an advantage in terms of lap times as it can accelerate and decelerate more quickly than the Ferrari. Also, it looks more gorgeous than the F8 with those butterfly doors and alienish look. Though it is considerably more expensive than the Ferrari, still if you ask us, we will pick the 720S out of the two.

2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo vs 2020 Lamborghini Huracán Evo

The Huracan is powered by a naturally aspirated V10, while the Ferrari takes its power from a turbocharged V8, and though the Huracan is less powerful than the Ferrari, it manages to be just as fast by having a very clever all-wheel-drive system. While it may be the most sensible and easy to live with Lamborghini that you can buy, it is not as easy to drive as the Ferrari. Life with the F8 is just easier than the Huracan, and that is where the Ferrari can justify its premium over the Lamborghini. Also, the Huracan fails at making you feel as special as the Ferrari does.

2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo vs 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S 

The Porsche 911 Turbo S in its latest avatar might just be the most technically advanced car we have ever seen. They somehow managed to get 640 horses out of that flat-six, and then we all know how blisteringly fast the Porsche’s 9-speed PDk gearbox is at shifting. That is the reason why despite being heavier and less powerful than the Ferrari, it can put in a better time for a 0-60 MPH sprint. It is a very well built car, and Germans do know how to make cars that perform. The only flaw is that while it is a lot cheaper than the Ferrari, it is not as special as a Ferrari. So if you want the most performance for your buck, buy a Porsche, and if you want the most style for your buck, buy a Ferrari.

You buy a Ferrari because you want a Ferrari. There is simply no other way to say this. It is certainly not a car which you think about if you want one. It is a dream for most of us, and we all know that no car in the world can take the place of a Ferrari in our hearts. So if you have enough money with you and can convince the folks at Ferrari that you deserve being their client, then just go and buy one.
