OD Rating

Feels sharp, alert and rides well, better looking than a Pista

Still sounds a little muted

I find myself faced with a difficult choice: get behind the wheel of Ferrari’s most powerful V8-engined car, the last in a line of non-electrified cars to wear the cavellino rampante badge, for a distance that’d be tough to break a sweat in if I were on foot. Or, don’t.

Of course, the choice was clear. And the good news is that even the shortest of drives in the F8 Tributo sears itself in your brain. It’s hailed as a sharper, more agile “regular” Ferrari, and with a few other of its predecessors lined up for reference, there really is no better way to experience Ferrari’s most powerful V8.
