F8 [Official] Ferrari F8 Tributo

To drive? 296 is superior in every way.

To own and not let go of.

Forgotten Ferrari

From the 458 to the 296, this is the one I'd pick.

 

[Jo_Sta7]

Having driven them all, and owned a few, this is the order and why.

6. 488. Sound is mediocre. Looks aren’t great. Decent performance but not McLaren 650S performance which was out at the same time.
5. F8. Much better looking. Perfect steering wheel. A fair amount quicker. Horrible, sound. Dealer killer sound. Just not a very exciting car to use.
4. Base 458. Great sound. Great looks. Dated tech. Less reactive than the others. Feels a bit slow. I’ve had 2 of em.
3. 296. Sounds good, not great. Just needs to be louder and it would be great. Immense performance relative to the others. LAF quick. Brakes are great. Dynamics in general are world class. Steering wheel with haptics is silly. Personally I think it’s looks put it at 3. It’s 5th best looking. Dynamically it’s easily number 1.
2. 488 Pista. Dynamically on par with an F8 but sounds better (not great, however) and looks stunning. Best looking Ferrari of that 20 years to me.
1. 458 Speciale. Just feels the most special. You know you’re in something historic. I should have kept mine.

But these ranking aren’t equally spaced. What I mean is, let’s say a 458 S is a 100/100. Then a 488 is an 80/100. F8 would be 90/100. Base 458 92/100. 296 96/100. Pista 98/100. That sort of close towards the top.

I know nothing about Ferrari residuals but it appears that F8's value is holding up well, which is surprising. I thought they'd not be that sought after given their stop-gap status.

For me, all I'd ever need in a supercar is a 296 GTS.

People are scared of the hybrid tech. It’s fantastic in the 296. Pulls like a 765 with zero lag. Barely even wheel spins. Just goes. It’s a brilliant car dynamically.

The F8 is the best looking vehicle Ferrari have made since the 488. The 296 & Roma look cheap and built to a price, the V12's have all been fired through the ugly forest since the 550/575 finished production.

It's holding its value well in the UK. You can buy a used F8 for the same price as a used 296. It's look forward to seeing how the F80 will faire. It's a hybrid, too many are being built and it cost a stupid amounts of money.

Couldn’t agree more with this rating. And when it comes to value the 458 is amazing.

Ferrari built far more LaFerrari than officially recognised, there are 572 known LaFerrari vin numbers, not including Apertas, so maybe 799 is a realistic number.

Correct. IIRC someone counted all VINs and they got to 630+

Goddamn mass produced

F80 will go well over 1000 lmao. But I can't blame them for wanting to make money off of fools. And it'd be wild to see the F80 depriciate, which could well be the case with this thing.

10x the price of an SF90
4x the price of an SF90 FXX

All of the above without a proportionate uplift in performance.

I think some Ferrari fans will sober up and realise that they are being milked. In 12 months, there will likely be so many F80 for sale close to list price that you could just buy one from the open market and without having lost €300k-1m on ordering new Ferraris and dumping them after 18 months to roll money into the next.

The Holy Trinity was peak performance uplift. You can't expect physics to keep up with that. It's all diminishing returns from now on, and the performance already has already become highly illegal and unusable.

It’s happening now. Trust me. They need to reclaim the magic and fast.

Love this car. I'd take one over a 296 in a heartbeat.

 

[Jo_Sta7]

To drive, I can tell you there isn’t a single metric the F8 gets close to a 296. Not sound, feel, cornering, change of direction, acceleration, etc. Particularly sound is where the F8 is most disappointing. It’s not just not good for a Ferrari. It’s just not good.

Aesthetics are personal. I prefer the front of the F8 and rear of the 296.
