It is amazing to see how far we\u2019ve come in terms of supercar performance and dynamics these days. Just a year ago, Ferrari unveiled the track focused 488 Pista that\u2019s a hallmark of how the brand has applied technology from the racetrack into its everyday Ferrari. How does the F8 Tributo ups that? Read on to find out.<\/p>\n

Aerodynamics<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

State-of-the-art aerodynamic solutions incorporated into the car\u2019s body help ensure that the extraordinarily powerful engine can be fully exploited. As with the 488 Pista, the F8 Tributo\u2019s aero package is directly evolved from the track and it adopts several features from the 488 Pista designed to help manage engine heat, including, for instance, the rearward-angled front radiators and the dynamic engine air intakes positioned either side of the spoiler instead of on the rear flanks.<\/p>\n

The front of the car is characterised by the S-Duct, a solution that made its debut on the 488 Pista, but which has been redesigned to suit the extensive modifications made to this area of the car. The result is that the S-Duct alone contributes an impressive 15% to the overall increase in downforce compared to the 488 GTB. The new, more compact, horizontal LED headlights allowed Ferrari\u2019s aerodynamicists to incorporate new brake cooling intakes in combination with those on the outside of the bumper, the aim being to improve air flow throughout the entire wheelarch and thereby avoid having to increase the size of the braking system to cope with the car\u2019s greater speed.<\/p>\n

The new Lexan rear screen showcases the engine compartment and also brings a modern twist to the most distinctive design element from Ferrari\u2019s most famous V8, the F40. The louvres help extract hot air from the engine compartment without impacting the efficiency of the blown spoiler which has been further evolved to increase downforce generated at the rear. The spoiler wraps around the tail lights, visually lowering the car\u2019s centre of gravity and allowing a return to the classic twin light cluster and body-coloured tail, another signature of the early 8-cylinder berlinettas like the very first in the legendary series, the 1975 308 GTB.<\/p>\n
