The entry
The Ferrari F8 Tributo.
The F8 Tributo closed the pure-V8 chapter of Ferrari's series-production mid-engined line, carrying a development of the twin-turbo V8 with aerodynamic work drawn from the 488 Pista.
The F8 Spider carried the same brief with a retractable hardtop.
We review your Ferrari F8 Tributo on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.
What we look for
What we weigh in a Ferrari F8 Tributo.
Every Ferrari F8 Tributo is reviewed on the same four things as any other entry in the Index. Gaps are normal; tell us what you have. Neither a modification nor outstanding finance rules a car out on its own.
- 01
Documented history: service records and provenance for a Ferrari F8 Tributo, however complete.
- 02
Originality and modifications: what has changed, and why.
- 03
Condition, honestly described, including anything outstanding.
- 04
Paperwork and finance still to sort.
The specialist's notes
What we check on a Ferrari F8 Tributo.
The F8 Tributo closed the pure-V8 line in 2019, and the review is largely about options, the service file and battery health.
- Generation
- Coupe from 2019 with UK deliveries from early 2020, Spider alongside with a retractable hard top that works on the move at low speed. The engine is essentially the Pista's 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 with the seven-speed dual-clutch; the body is heavily reworked against the 488 GTB.
- Specification
- The 40mm front lift, forged or carbon wheels, titanium wheel bolts, the lithium battery, Daytona carbon-backed seats, the surround-view camera, the passenger touchscreen, carbon exterior and interior parts, Scuderia shields and special paints. Cup 2 tyres were an option on the F8 where they were not on the GTB.
- Service
- Carbon-ceramic brakes are standard and the owner's manual asks for engine braking on long descents, so disc and pad life is read with how the car has been driven. A VIN check with Ferrari covers open recalls, and we confirm what warranty or service plan, if any, remains.
- History
- The service file and the original specification against the build sheet. The 488 family points (turbocharger flutter, Automatic Vehicle Hold, seat bolster wear) apply.
- Condition
- Stone chips and film on the nose and S-duct, scrapes under the splitter, carbon wheel condition where fitted, ceramic disc life, tyre age and whether the car has lived on a trickle charger; a weak battery produces wide-ranging faults on this car.

Footnotes
º1Do you buy the Ferrari F8 Tributo?
Yes. The Ferrari F8 Tributo is on the index of cars we buy directly, filed under Ferrari Special Series & Flagships as entry Nº 089 / 168. Send the registration or the car's details and a specialist reviews it personally.
º2Do you need to see my Ferrari F8 Tributo before making an offer?
Not for the offer itself. A specialist reviews what you tell us about your Ferrari F8 Tributo first. Inspection follows once you accept a direct purchase offer, before anything is finalised.
º3How does selling my Ferrari F8 Tributo to MotorSignet work?
Send the registration or the details of your Ferrari F8 Tributo. A specialist reviews it personally and, if it fits what we buy, makes a direct purchase offer. If you accept, inspection and collection are arranged. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready.
º4Do you review F8 Spiders under this entry too?
Yes. Submit either body style; the registration tells us which the car is and the review proceeds the same way.
º5Does it matter whether a Ferrari F8 Tributo has lived on a trickle charger?
It helps. A weak battery produces wide-ranging faults on this car, so we ask how it has been stored and whether any faults have shown. A car kept off a charger is still a car we buy; the electrics simply get a closer look.
This page describes a type of car we buy and source directly, not a specific example currently held or for sale.
