Ferrari F8 Tributo 2021.

Ferrari F8 Tributo from Novitec: more power and stylish body kit The Ferrari F8 Tributo supercar itself is a very fast and stylish car, but this did not stop the tuners from Novitec from improving this model.

The German workshop installed a carbon fiber front spoiler on the Italian two-door, and also added a number of carbon accents. The car also received sportier side skirts and a massive rear wing that generates «substantial downforce.»

Customers can optionally order a rear spoiler and a unique diffuser, plus the tuners offer a wide range of wheel rims, including 21- and 22-inch variants with decorative center locks.

What’s in the salon?

As for the interior, Novitek is ready to modify it, taking into account all the wishes of the client, who will be offered to independently choose the color of the finishing materials (high-quality leather and alcantara).

The interior of the F8 Tributo was clearly drawn with an eye on the Ferrari 488 Pista. Here is exactly the same layout of the front panel and center console, but round «turbine» deflectors are used instead of triangular ones.

In addition, the arrangement of buttons and knobs has been partially revised. But the steering wheel is almost identical, as if the designers decided to play a game of «find 5 differences».

The only noticeable difference is the new HMI infotainment system, which even has a 7-inch touchscreen available to the passenger.

Technics

The original 3.9-liter Ferrari F8 Tributo engine has also been redesigned. By default, it produces 720 hp. and 770 Nm, however, the Germans increased its output to 802 forces and 898 Nm of torque.

Thanks to the increased power, the tuned two-door can accelerate from 0-100 km / h in 2.6 seconds, and its top speed now exceeds 340 km / h.

Interestingly, the company offers several exhaust system options that are designed to make supercar rides more perky.

In particular, they can install a gold-plated Inconel exhaust on the F8 Tributo. This system dissipates heat better and has two large round pipes that can be made of stainless steel or carbon.

In addition, sports springs were installed on the coupe in the workshop, lowering the ground clearance by about 35 millimeters.

At the same time, the car received a function that allows you to raise the front axle to drive through road irregularities. The cost of complex tuning in the studio is not advertised.

The engine compartment of the Ferrari F8 Tributo will house the already familiar power unit, which for three years in a row received the title of the best engine in the world (2016-2018).

It was this recognition that led to the unusual name of the model, because in translation from Italian Tributo means “tribute”.

The twin-turbo engine has a V8 layout and a 3.9 liter displacement. It delivers a maximum of 720 hp. power (specific power 185 «horses» per liter of volume) and 770 Nm of torque at 3000 rpm.

The thrust is designed to «digest» a seven-speed «robot» of the preselective type, which is also installed on the 488 GTB.

It’s funny, but the “outdated” Ferrari 488 Pista is a little faster than the “new generation car”, although their motors and transmission are the same: from 0 to 100 km / h Tributo “shoots” in 2.9 seconds, and Pista — in 2.85 seconds.

The Tributo accelerates to 200 km / h in 7.8 seconds, the Pista in 7.6 seconds. Top speed on both supercars is electronically limited to 340 km / h.

The trolley of the mid-engined coupe Ferrari F8 Tributo is definitely from the 488 Pista, but of course there are some changes.

Firstly, the Tributo uses much less CFRP and other lightweight materials, which is why the dry weight of the novelty is 50 kg more (1330 kg).

Secondly, the list of electronic assistants included the SSC version 6.1 side slip assistance system (version 6.0 was used on the Pista).

Thirdly, the FDE smart dynamic braking system now has a Plus attachment. has also been upgraded and now even more efficiently regulates the pressure in the brake circuits, depending on the road situation.

In addition, the FDE system has for the first time been able to be activated via the mode selector.

The new Ferrari F8 Tributo 2021 also received other technical «chips» tested on the 488 Pista: an adaptive SCM suspension with magnetorheological fluid in the shock absorbers, an F1-Trac traction control system, an electronically controlled E-Diff3 rear differential, etc.
