Ferrari V8 convertible super run
Ferrari F8 Spider hardtop beast
Ferrari's most successful mid-rear V8 engine in the history
of Ferrari, the new generation of roadster Ferrari F8 Spider debut. Designed by
the Ferrari Styling Centre Ferrari Design Center, the F8 Tributo's design style
is based on the Retractable Hard Top foldable hardtop convertible. The key to
the design is to move the body and ceiling dividers from the traditional
waistline position (about the passenger's shoulder position) to the rear of the
B-pillar, making the convertible look more refined. Also, the
convertible is divided into two parts when folded and is stored one by one in
the upper position of the engine. At speeds of less than 45 km/h, the foldable
hardtop convertible can be easily opened or closed in just 14 seconds.

Establish a new standard for the roadster
models
The F8 Spider model can be traced back to the 308 GTS model
that was introduced in 1977. If it is not comparable to the different 488 Pista
Spider, the new F8 Spider is superior and powerful compared to the previous
generation 488 Spider. Sports performance and driving experience.
The Ferrari Styling Centre defines the F8 Spider's design
goals, which are based on the evolution of the F8 Tributo design while drawing
inspiration from the V8 sports car, the most representative of the brand's
history, with a mid-rear engine configuration. Create the F8 Spider and pay
tribute to the Ferrari classic V8 engine. The design draws inspiration from
advanced aerodynamics technology, giving the new car a more distinct sporting
character and personality.
After the introduction of the S-Duct aerodynamic channel,
the front of the model was redesigned and brought a series of aerodynamic
innovations. For example, the new car is equipped with a more compact new
horizontal LED headlights.
The rear spoiler has also been redesigned. The enlarged
spoiler covers the top of the taillights, visually reducing the center of
the gravity of the vehicle, and on the other hand, restores the classic
double-circle design and the same color of the rear and the body. These are an
an important feature of the early Ferrari Ferrari Berlinetta V8, and the 308 GTB,
the first model in the legendary series is the perfect example of this design.
The design of the hood is one of the most distinctive design
projects of the F8 Spider. The central raised line starts from the rear window
and extends down to the wing of the active spoiler. The overall design is
consistent with the air guiding direction, which outlines a sharp and
aggressive shape.
The two wing-shaped designs that extend from the center
blend perfectly with the body design for a smooth overall visual aesthetic. A
venting vent is provided under the suspended wing design to help improve engine
cooling. Also, three three-dimensional cuts on the side of the hood help
the engine to dissipate heat, while the Coupé's signature rear window design is
retained. The black painted cut surface not only has a lightweight design but
also makes the overall shape of the new car more recognizable.
The raised crown of the hood at the rear of the cockpit is
curved and extends backward into the spoiler, like the swan-neck tail fighter
commonly found in F1 racing, and symbolizes the extraordinary sportiness of the
F8 Spider.

traditional waistline position to the rear of the B-pillar, making the
convertible look more refined.
▲The engine air inlet moves backward from the sides of the car
to the rear spoiler and is directly connected to the gas collecting box, which
can introduce more airflow into the engine and effectively enhance the power
output.

commonly found in F1 racing cars.
Cockpit streamline style
The new F8 Spider cockpit design retains the classic
driver-centered design of the mid-rear engine configuration Berlinetta, designed
to provide the ultimate driving experience of an F1 racing-like car. The new
steering wheel integrates all the control buttons and the sports seats are also
completely redesigned.
An aluminum sail panel extending toward the instrument panel
is mounted below the central circular air outlet of the instrument panel. To create a simple and light visual experience, the new car uses a carbon-fiber trim to separate the upper and lower parts, highlighting the streamlined
overall cockpit design. Also, the instrument panel includes the Ferrari
The classic instrument with a central tachometer and an optional 7-inch
passenger-side touch screen.
There is a separate channel below the dashboard to further
enhance the clean design of the new car interior. This channel features a new
suspension bridge design that is full of three-dimensionality and highlights
the streamlined style of the cockpit.

Powerful and instant momentary power
The F8 Spider's V8 turbo engine has won the
"International Engine of the Year" for four consecutive years in
2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, and even stood out among many of the same
award-winning competitors in the past. Winning the "Best Peak of the Best -
the Best", it has created an unrivaled record in the history of the
awards and set an unsurpassed standard among the global car and engine
manufacturers. The biggest highlight of the new F8 Spider is its powerful and
instant momentary power, not only without the slightest turbo lag but also
with the unique sound of the V8 engine. Its extraordinary performance and
easy-to-apply control performance can be attributed to a series of innovative
aerodynamic designs developed from the track experience.
Ferrari's V8 engine has become a perfect example of the
the perfect combination of sporting performance and driving pleasure in the world.
This perfect quality is even more pronounced on the two-seat model with
mid-rear engine configuration. For more than 40 years, Ferrari has been working
to continuously improve the performance of the mid-rear engine, hoping to
achieve an unparalleled driving experience by achieving the best weight
balance.
The Ferrari Ferrari V8 engine has outstanding performance
parameters. At a speed of 8,000 rpm, the engine with a displacement of 3,902 ccs
has an output power of up to 720 cv and a power factor of 185 cv/l. After
recalibration, the peak torque is also improved: at a speed of 3,250 rpm, the
peak torque can reach 770 nm.
Ferrari's V8 engine is a masterpiece of modern
craftsmanship. The V8 engine of the Ferrari F8 Spider also inherits the
excellent qualities of Ferrari's various engine series and further upgrades it,
resulting in no turbo lag and an extremely smooth acceleration experience. Not
only that but with the help of the new exhaust system, the engine sound is
also more unique and pleasing.
The F8 Spider benefits from the perfect combination of
dynamic design, instantaneous dynamic response and superior handling. Perfectly
providing the driver with pure driving pleasure and passion. The upgraded
version of the FDE+ Ferrari Dynamic Enhancement System, which can be activated
via RACE mode, allows the driver to easily control the performance of the car
while also driving the performance of the car.
Thanks to the new intake channel from the 488 Challenge, the
F8 Spider's engine has a 50cv power upgrade compared to the 488 Spider. In
addition, the engine air intake is moved backward from the sides of the vehicle
to the rear spoiler and directly connected to the gas collecting box, which not
only greatly reduces energy loss, but also can introduce more airflow into the
engine, effectively enhancing the power output... The rear spoiler has also
been specially designed to significantly increase dynamic wind pressure and
further, introduce more air into the engine.
The F8 Spider automatically adjusts the high-performance
start-up function through the Adaptive Performance Launch to analyze the ground
conditions and utilize the optimum torque transmitted by the electronic control
system to meet the road grip, thereby minimizing wheel slip and achieving
optimal acceleration performance.
The wall effect of the speed limiter makes the engine's
the ultimate performance also leaps forward. When the speed reaches the limit of
8000 rpm, the speed rise will be stopped immediately, instead of gradually
limiting the speed when approaching the limit value, this design is conducive
to intense Ensure maximum power output while driving and increase lap speed.
Ferrari's highly acclaimed Variable Torque Management
progressive torque management system is also used on this model and is suitable
for all gears. The new design of the torsion curve fully highlights the extreme
sports performance of the new car, resulting in an extremely smooth and
accelerated performance. The peak torque of the engine is also 10 Nm higher
than the 488 Spider, which is even better in the lower speed range.
The engine of the new F8 Spider follows the highly
lightweight design of the Ferrari 488 Pista. Compared to the 488 Spider, the
power unit has a weight reduction of up to 18 kg and reduces the rotation and
non-static conditions of titanium alloy connecting rods, crankshafts, and
flywheels. Weight to quickly increase engine speed for an adrenaline-rich
driving experience. Especially in the case of severe operation such as shifting
and low-speed acceleration, the driver can clearly see the pointer on the
tachometer spinning at a rapid speed. This more perfect dynamic lightweight
design successfully reduced engine inertia by 17%.
Also, the F8 Spider uses the Inconel exhaust manifold
from the 488 Challenge to reduce its engine to 9.7 kg. The entire exhaust
system, including the turbocharger and exhaust tailpipe, has been significantly
updated to create a unique engine sound. At the same time, the engine sound is
also very recognizable, reaching a new level in both volume intensity and tone
quality. The new gasoline particle screening program (GPF) is also installed in
the exhaust pipe to meet new certification requirements.
