F8

2019 - 2023

Unveiled in 2019, the Ferrari F8 Tributo is a two-seat berlinetta powered by a mid-rear-mounted twin-turbocharged V8. Its name pays tribute to Ferrari’s long V8 tradition and to a 3.9-liter engine producing 720 hp, described by Ferrari at launch as the most powerful V8 in its regular production range. Replacing the 488 GTB, the F8 Tributo combines revised aerodynamics, lower weight, and the latest versions of Ferrari’s vehicle-dynamics control systems. The F8 family also includes the F8 Spider, introduced in the same year with a retractable hardtop, and the SP-8, a unique roadster developed from the Spider. Within the ScanRacer catalogue, the referenced model years and variants span from 2019 to 2023.

Model introduction

History

Ferrari revealed the F8 Tributo on February 28, 2019, ahead of its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show on March 5. It replaced the 488 GTB and continued Maranello’s established sports-car formula: two seats, a mid-rear-mounted twin-turbocharged V8, and rear-wheel drive. Ferrari presented it as a comprehensive development rather than a clean-sheet departure. The 3,902 cc engine delivered 50 hp more than the 488 GTB, while the car was described as lighter and more aerodynamically efficient. Side Slip Angle Control advanced to version 6.1, and Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer became available in RACE mode, intended to make the car’s behavior near the limit more accessible and controllable. Ferrari unveiled the F8 Spider on September 9, 2019. Developed alongside the coupe, it retained the 720-hp V8 and added an electrically operated retractable hardtop. It replaced the 488 Spider and continued Ferrari’s open-top V8 lineage, which the company traces back to the 308 GTS of 1977. In 2023, Ferrari introduced the SP-8, a client-commissioned One-Off for a Taiwanese owner. Based on the F8 Spider, it retained the donor car’s layout, chassis, and V8, but removed the roof entirely and received extensively redesigned bodywork.

Generations

Ferrari does not officially divide the F8 family into separately named generations. Instead, the model represents a further development of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engine V8 berlinetta lineage, with the 488 GTB as its direct predecessor. The F8 Tributo retains the core mechanical formula while adding more power, revised aerodynamics, updated electronic controls, and changes to the cabin. It is therefore more accurate to describe the F8 as a new stage in Ferrari’s central V8 architecture than as a formally defined generation in its own right. The first main derivative is the F8 Tributo, a closed two-seat berlinetta. The second is the F8 Spider, engineered from the outset as an open car with a retractable hardtop. Both use Ferrari’s 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 and are rated at 720 hp, but their body structures and intended experiences differ substantially. The Spider emphasizes open-air driving while retaining the performance character of the berlinetta. The SP-8 has a different status. Ferrari places it within its One-Off programme: it is a unique, client-commissioned car derived from the F8 Spider and extensively redesigned to individual requirements. It should not be treated as a regular production variant or as a third generation. For identification purposes, the key distinction is between the closed Tributo, the retractable-hardtop Spider, and the roofless SP-8.

Key differences

The F8 Tributo and F8 Spider share the same core powertrain: a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 rated at 720 hp. Their clearest difference is the body style. The Tributo is a closed berlinetta with a glazed rear engine cover that exposes the V8. The Spider uses an electrically operated retractable hardtop and a specially developed rear structure intended to preserve the requirements of an open performance car. The SP-8 is far more than a trim level. Derived from the F8 Spider, it removes the roof completely and receives unique bodywork, a redesigned front end, a full-width grille, specific headlamp treatment, and rear lights derived from the Ferrari Roma. Its wheels and several interior details are also exclusive to the individual car. Exact performance differences between the three should not be assumed without a matching technical specification: Ferrari’s official material primarily confirms their mechanical relationship and the SP-8’s extensive body transformation.

Photo recognition

To identify an F8 Tributo, start with the mid-engine two-seat berlinetta shape and the glazed rear engine cover visible behind the cabin. The nose has integrated air openings within a sharply defined design, while the flanks retain the side-intake treatment associated with the 488-to-F8 family. The word “Tributo” is not necessarily displayed prominently on the exterior, so identification should rely on the combination of the rear cover, lamp shapes, and overall proportions. The F8 Spider is distinguished by its retractable hardtop and its differently shaped rear deck, designed to work with the roof either raised or lowered. A photograph taken with the roof closed can make it difficult to separate from the Tributo; in that case, inspect the rear-cover geometry and the structures around the cockpit. The SP-8 is much easier to recognize as an individual creation. It has no roof, a broad front grille with vertical slats, presentation-car two-tone bodywork, and dedicated wheels. Roma-inspired rear lamps and the complete absence of a roof mechanism are especially useful identification clues.

Important versions

The F8 Tributo is the launch berlinetta, unveiled in 2019 with Ferrari’s 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 720 hp. The F8 Spider followed in 2019, retaining the same core engine and architecture while adding a retractable hardtop and an open-air focus. The SP-8, unveiled in 2023, is a One-Off derived from the Spider: it retains the donor car’s layout, chassis, and engine but uses completely bespoke roofless bodywork. In the supplied ScanRacer context, these three names are listed as SP-8, Spider, and Tributo, with available years spanning 2019 to 2023. They should be distinguished from individual Ferrari personalizations or other one-off commissions that may share the F8 platform without being part of the regular model range.
