ShopThe Ferrari F8 Tributo closed a chapter that began in 1975 with the 308 GTB: Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 sports car. Its 3,902 cc twin-turbo V8 – designated F154 CD – produced 720 CV (710 hp) at 8,000 rpm with a specific output of 185 CV per liter, the highest of any Ferrari road-car V8. Built from 2019 to 2023 alongside the retractable-hardtop F8 Spider, the F8 platform carried the 488 Pista’s engine output as standard equipment. Scopione carries carbon fiber parts for the Ferrari F8 Tributo and Spider, covering engine bay panels, shift paddles, and exterior trim in both glossy and matte 2×2 twill-weave finishes.
Introduction: The Ferrari F8 Tributo & Spider
Ferrari released the first images of the F8 Tributo from Maranello on February 28, 2019, followed by a public debut at the Geneva Motor Show on March 5. The name “Tributo” – Italian for “tribute” – honored the F154 engine family, which had won International Engine of the Year four consecutive times between 2016 and 2019 and received the “Best Engine of the Last 20 Years” award in 2018. The car replaced the 488 GTB with 50 CV more power, 40 kg less weight, and 10% greater aerodynamic efficiency.
The F154 CD engine brought the 488 Pista’s 720 CV tune to a standard road car. Turbo rev sensors – first developed for the 488 Challenge race car – monitored turbocharger speed in real-time to eliminate perceptible lag. Ferrari’s Variable Torque Management (VTM) system parceled out the full 770 Nm (568 lb-ft) progressively through the gears, delivering maximum torque only in higher ratios. The result was a twin-turbo V8 that felt immediate at any engine speed despite producing 185 CV per liter from 3.9 liters.
The F8 Spider followed on September 9, 2019, revealed online by Ferrari ahead of its public debut at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. Like the 458 Spider and 488 Spider before it, the F8 Spider used a retractable aluminum hardtop that opened in 14 seconds and could be operated at up to 45 km/h. The Spider added approximately 70 kg over the Tributo’s dry weight but matched the coupe’s 2.9-second 0-100 km/h time.
The F8 Platform (2019–2023): Engine, Variants & Technology
The F8 Tributo rode on the Type F142MFL platform – the final evolution of the aluminum space frame that began with the 458 Italia (F142) and continued through the 488 (F142M). Ferrari retained the 2,650 mm wheelbase but reduced dry weight to 1,330 kg for the Tributo, making it roughly 40 kg lighter than the 488 GTB. SSC 6.1 (Side Slip Control) integrated E-Diff3, F1-Trac, and the new SCM-E magnetorheological dampers into a unified electronic dynamics system. FDE+ (Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer Plus) expanded on the 488 Pista’s FDE by remaining active in Race mode – not just CT-Off – enabling 6% faster corner-exit speeds.

The McLaren 720S was the F8’s principal rival – two twin-turbo V8 mid-engine supercars separated by different structural philosophies. McLaren built around a carbon-fiber monocoque; Ferrari stayed with its proven aluminum space frame.
Aerodynamics: S-Duct, Active Diffuser & Downforce
The F8 adopted the 488 Pista’s front-mounted S-Duct as standard – an air channel running from beneath the front bumper through the bonnet that accelerated airflow over the front axle. Behind the car, an active rear diffuser used three flaps that rotated 14 degrees in low-drag mode. Ferrari published a proportional breakdown: vortex generators contributed 25% of the total downforce gain, the rear blown spoiler 25%, the rear diffuser 20%, the S-Duct 15%, and the front underbody 15%. The combined result lifted aerodynamic efficiency 10% over the 488 GTB – more downforce with no added drag.
Variants & Production
- F8 Tributo (2019–2023) – The standard coupe. 720 CV from the F154 CD engine. Ferrari stopped accepting orders in early 2022 with the production run fully allocated. A single 2023 model-year Tributo was built for Ferrari North America – the last pure V8, mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive Ferrari coupe ever produced.
- F8 Spider (2019–2023) – Retractable hardtop variant. Same 720 CV output. Dry weight of 1,400 kg (70 kg heavier than Tributo). Rear buttresses redesigned for open-air aerodynamic management. Production timeline matched the Tributo.
- SP48 Unica (2022) – One-off Special Projects car, the 48th SP commission. F8 Tributo-based with radical angular bodywork, a windowless rear section, and four slim LED light bars replacing the standard quad circular tail lights. Not a production variant.
No track-focused “Pista” or “Speciale” variant was developed for the F8 – a departure from Ferrari tradition. The explanation was straightforward: the standard F8 already carried the 488 Pista’s engine output, leaving little room for a meaningful track derivative within the same platform. Ferrari’s competition program transitioned directly from 488-based GT3 and GTE cars to the 296 GT3, skipping the F8 entirely.
F8 MSRP When New
| Variant | Base MSRP | Inflation-Adjusted (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| F8 Tributo | $276,550 (2020) | ~$340,000 |
| F8 Spider | $302,500 (2020) | ~$372,000 |
The Lamborghini Huracan Evo competed in the same segment with a different philosophy – naturally aspirated V10 and available all-wheel drive against the F8’s turbocharged V8 and rear-drive-only layout.
Carbon Fiber on the Ferrari F8
Ferrari offered an extensive carbon-fiber options list for the F8 through the factory configurator. Exterior options included CF front side spoilers, under-door panels, mirror caps, wheel cups, and a front bumper insert. Inside, buyers could specify a carbon-fiber steering wheel (with optional LED shift lights), central bridge, dashboard inserts, door trims, instrument cluster surround, and upper tunnel. Engine bay shields in carbon fiber were also available. Most items came in glossy or matte finish. A heavily optioned F8 Tributo could exceed $350,000 when loaded with the full CF interior and exterior packages.
Exterior Carbon Fiber Applications
The F8’s bodywork was shaped around aerodynamic function – the front S-Duct channeling air over the bonnet, side air intakes inherited from the 308 GTB’s design language, and the active rear diffuser managing underbody flow. Carbon fiber exterior pieces on the F8 focus on accent points: door handles, fuel filler cap surround, and smaller trim elements rather than the large aero surfaces (diffuser, side skirts, front splitter) available for the 488. This reflects the F8’s more integrated factory aero design – the S-Duct and active rear diffuser are built into the production bodywork rather than added as separate components.
Engine Bay & Interior
The engine bay is where the F8’s aftermarket carbon-fiber catalog runs deepest. Scopione stocks an engine covers trim set, a center engine cover and an air filter box cover for the F8 – all in 2×2 twill weave. Several of these parts cross-fit with the 488 GTB and Pista due to the shared F142-family platform architecture. The engine covers trim set at $3,200 is the largest single investment, replacing OEM plastic covers with exposed carbon-fiber weave across the top of the engine bay.
Interior CF upgrades center on the shift paddles. Extended GT shift paddles ($730) add length for easier reach during aggressive driving. Replacement shift paddles ($650) swap the factory aluminum paddles for carbon fiber. Both options also fit the 488 GTB and Spider, 812 Superfast, GTC4Lusso, and Portofino – a rare cross-platform compatibility within the Ferrari range.
Legacy of the F8 & Its Place in Ferrari History
The F8 Tributo sits at the end of a 48-year lineage. From the 308 GTB in 1975 through the 328, 348, F355, 360, F430, 458, 488, and finally the F8, Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 evolved from a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter Dino-derived unit to a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter producing 720 CV. The F8’s F154 CD engine represented the absolute peak of that development – 185 CV per liter from a road-car V8 with near-zero turbo lag.
Unlike the 488, no racing variant was homologated from the F8. Ferrari kept the 488 GTE and GT3 cars running through their competitive lifecycle and transitioned directly to 296-based racing cars. The F8 was, in practical terms, a road-car-only platform – a rarity in Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 history, where every generation from the 360 onward had a dedicated racing derivative.
The 296 GTB replaced the F8 in Ferrari’s lineup beginning in 2022. It brought a fundamentally different powertrain: a 2,992 cc twin-turbo V6 paired with an electric motor for a combined 830 CV. The shorter 2,600 mm wheelbase and all-new platform marked a clear generational break. The F8’s position as the last non-hybrid mid-engine V8 Ferrari – and the last car in a lineage stretching back nearly five decades – gives it a historical weight that the market has begun to recognize. The McLaren Sports Series occupied a similar “end of an era” position when McLaren transitioned its lineup, and early signs suggest a comparable collector trajectory for the F8.

Also in This Collection: the F12, 812 and F430
The F8’s parts share a catalog section with Ferrari’s front-engine V12 grand tourers, so the shop link above lists more than F8 components. The six parts that fit the F12berlinetta and the 812 Superfast – front bumper splitters, side mirror shells, a rear trunk spoiler, door handle covers and the 458-generation shift paddles – have their own page: the Ferrari F12 & 812 Superfast gallery.
One part in the collection belongs to neither family. The F430 (2005–2009) is served by a rear bumper diffuser – the only large aero panel here, and the oldest car this catalog section covers.
| Carbon Fiber Part | Part Cost | Est. Installation | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rear Bumper Diffuser | $1,900 | $200–$400 | $2,100–$2,300 |
The two shift-paddle sets are the widest-fitting parts Scopione stocks for Ferrari: the extended GT paddles and the replacement paddles each fit the 488, 812, F8, GTC4Lusso and Portofino, so they appear on the F12 & 812 gallery as well as this one. If you own more than one Ferrari, these are the parts most likely to carry across.
Ferrari F8 Used Market & Pricing (2025–2026)
- F8 Tributo (coupe) – $300,000 to $380,000. Average transaction prices cluster around $347,000. Low-mileage, well-optioned examples with full Ferrari dealer service records reach the top of the range. Tributo coupes currently trade well above their original $276,550 MSRP.
- F8 Spider – $390,000 to $465,000. Average transaction prices near $401,000. The Spider commands a 15–20% premium over the Tributo, consistent with Ferrari mid-engine V8 pricing patterns. Low-mile examples with desirable color combinations approach $465,000.
What Factors Affect Ferrari F8 Prices?
- Mileage – Sub-3,000-mile examples command the steepest premiums. Beyond 10,000 miles, values begin to converge toward the lower end of the range.
- Service history – Full Ferrari dealer records remain essential. Ferrari’s 7-year complimentary maintenance program covers cars serviced at authorized centers. Independent-only service gaps compress values.
- Color and specification – Rosso Corsa and Grigio Silverstone move quickly. Tailor Made and Atelier specifications can either elevate or limit the buyer pool. Full carbon-fiber interior packages, racing seats, and sport exhaust all support higher resale.
- Body style – The Spider premium over the Tributo is consistent and well-established. Open-top Ferraris historically hold their value better than coupes in this segment.
- “Last V8” status – The F8’s position as the final non-hybrid mid-engine V8 Ferrari is increasingly recognized by collectors. This narrative may strengthen over time as Ferrari’s lineup shifts to hybrid and electric powertrains.

How Does the Ferrari F8 Compare to the 488 GTB?
The F8 delivers 50 CV more power (720 versus 670), weighs 40 kg less, and is 10% more aerodynamically efficient. It carries the 488 Pista’s engine as standard, with improved aerodynamics and electronics.
Is the Ferrari F8 Tributo a Good Investment?
The F8 Tributo and Spider are in an early stabilization phase. Tributo coupes trade near or above their original MSRP – a marked difference from the 488 GTB, which depreciated below its sticker price before flattening. The “last V8” narrative gives the F8 a collector argument that the 488 lacked during its equivalent market window. The 296 GTB successor uses a V6 hybrid, making the F8’s twin-turbo V8 a historically distinct proposition. Long-term appreciation depends on mileage discipline, full dealer service records, and whether collector sentiment follows the trajectory that the naturally aspirated 458 Italia has established.
What Are Common Ferrari F8 Tributo Maintenance Issues and Costs?
Annual maintenance runs $2,000 to $5,000 after Ferrari’s 7-year complimentary maintenance program expires. The F8 uses timing chains, eliminating belt-service intervals. Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 program spans decades – from the 458’s naturally aspirated F136 FB to the twin-turbo F154 family powering the 488 (F154 CB) and F8 (F154 CD). The F154 is a mechanically mature platform with no widespread failure patterns.
Major cost items to budget for:
- Dual-clutch pack replacement – $6,000 to $10,000 depending on dealer versus independent shop rates
- Carbon-ceramic brake rotors – $8,000 to $12,000 per axle for replacement; typical lifespan of 60,000 to 100,000+ miles under street driving
- Tires – $400 to $700 per tire (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S or Cup 2). A full set runs $1,600 to $2,800.
- Battery drain – a common owner complaint. The F8’s electronics draw current when parked, leading to dashboard error codes if the battery drops too low. A trickle charger or battery tender is a recommended ownership accessory.
- Brake fluid reservoir cap recall – affected some 2020–2022 models where the cap did not vent properly, creating a vacuum in the reservoir. Verify recall completion before purchase.
- Insurance – $3,000 to $7,000 per year for typical full-coverage policies. Specialty collector insurers writing agreed-value policies frequently beat standard carriers on premiums for cars like these.
What Carbon Fiber Parts Are Available for the Ferrari F8?
Scopione stocks 8 carbon-fiber parts for the F8 Tributo and Spider across three categories. Engine bay: engine covers trim set, center engine cover and air filter box cover. Interior: extended GT shift paddles and replacement shift paddles. Exterior: door handles, door handles covers, and fuel tank lid gas door. Most parts cross-fit with the 488 GTB and Pista due to shared platform architecture – this means a buyer trading from a 488 to an F8 can carry their carbon-fiber engine bay investment forward.
Which Ferrari F8 Parts Also Fit Other Models?
All eight. Every F8 part Scopione stocks is shared with the 488 GTB, because the F8 kept the 488’s F142-family architecture. Two go further still: the extended GT shift paddles and the replacement shift paddles also fit the 812, GTC4Lusso and Portofino.
What Else Is in the F8’s Parts Collection?
Seven parts in the same collection fit other Ferraris rather than the F8. Six of them – side mirror shells and front bumper splitters for the 2018–2024 812 GTS and Superfast, an add-on rear trunk spoiler and door handle covers for the F12 Berlinetta, and a shift-paddle set for the 458, F12 and FF – have their own F12 & 812 Superfast gallery. The seventh is a rear bumper diffuser for the 2005–2009 F430.
The full line is built from 2×2 3K twill-weave carbon fiber finished in UV-resistant clear coat. Glossy and matte finishes are available. Fitment relies on the factory mounting points alone – nothing gets drilled or cut.
