Ferrari F8 Tributo Review // Hold Me Closer
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 06. 2024
- The 2022 Ferrari F8 Tributo (~$447,920 CAD converted, $358,783 USD as specced) may just be the last Ferrari of its kind. Ferrari is progressing towards smaller displacement, hybrid engines. The F8 Tributo however, still proudly displays its 3.9L mid-engine V8 beneath an F40 inspired Lexan cover. Assisted by twin-turbos that have been designed to reduce turbo lag, a mighty 710 horsepower and 568 lb feet of torque are easily accessible by the driver. But how is it to drive on a canyon road? And how does it compare to Ferraris of the past, such as the legendary 458? Thomas and James are excited to see what the F8 Tributo is all about. We hope you enjoy the episode! SUBSCRIBE!

“Ferrari got their science from an engineering textbook not Facebook” quote of the year
Some dude name Chad is getting picked on and doesn’t know why.😂
Seriously, if I was told Facebook would go from the forefront of a revolution that changed digital communication forever, to making unskippable 10-second CZcams ads like a shitty freemium mobile game, I wouldn't believe it.
Playing to the Jeremy Clarkson with that one.
Nah it's pretty cringe. Should stick to the cars instead of virtue signaling while getting his "science" from the government funded talking heads.
@@RAZGR1Z poking fun at Facebook and the idiot politicians who don’t know anything about science and those who believe them is still funny, and true.
That scene where Thomas says “I feel like I’ve been dancing my whole life” felt very Jeremy Clarkson-esque in the BEST way possible. Watching your reviews truly gives me the same feeling I used to get watching OG top gear as a kid growing up
The best description of how this channel makes me feel every time I watch one of their videos.
Yeah now that you point it out… throttle house is definitely the new “OG” top gear
I have to agree when I heard that statement. You know they worked on that for ages.
The car and roads in perfect situations but in the real world no one should ever need and buy one.
It's ostentatious nonsense when people are fighting for their lives while the world sits back and watches.
Cars like these are the reason that capitalism is failing. The gap between rich and poor is too wide. Cars like this have always existed as they have ment to push us forward so what's this one's excuse? It's not making us greener or winning a war it's just bullshit.
So in context it's a great line but little meaning. It's a great channel and great entertainment but really it's a sales pitch as someone with more money than sense will buy it.
It used to be funny when you'd see them in traffic jams so far away from what they were designed for but now it feels rather sad. I look at the car and then the guy as it's normally a guy and think you've made it but you could have really made a difference but you decided to look like a knob instead.. 🇺🇦✌️
You are soo right!!that line gave me such a top gear vibe!great review😍
We should really let the Canadians take the Top Gear helm for a few series.
“If the Lamborghini can sing, the Ferrari can dance” quote of the year.
Ferrari have always been miles ahead of lambo
There’s a bunch of folks that mention this all the time, but you guys don’t make just great automotive reviews, you guys make amazing automotive entertainment.
It’s prefect!
I agree these are my favorite car videos. I think you should attempt to communicate with the Canadian car company felino. They make interesting cars and nobody has ever reviewed one. Not sure how possible it is (because I think they have not released it to the public yet, Covid messed things up) but it seems like a car right up your guys’ alley.
Unlike your typo 🤪 jk I agree :)
How much were you paid to write that?
Yah, that's the point. If it weren't entertaining, no one would watch. And don't presume there's no entertainment in different styles of reviewing. Just because you're not entertained by it doesn't mean it's not entertaining or "great" or "amazing" or "perfect" - and we're not all amazed by the same things, perfection is relative, and grammatically "great" is always relative, not empirical. There's a bunch of folks that mention their unqualified opinions all the time as if we're somehow entitled to it. No one is entitled to your opinion, except yourself. Difference here is, while my opinion may not be solicited, it's factual all the same. Your argument that >they don't make just XX, they make XY< fails to provide any logic or reason your opinion matters. Find a better way to compliment the work they do without also exhibiting how meaningless your opinion is.
Aye, agreed. Lost count of the number of their reviews I've watched and, afterwards, not really remembered much about the specifics of the car but have definitely felt thoroughly entertained. Ideal reaction to cars I'm unlikely to ever be able to afford...and that's fine by me.
there is nobody else making car reviews as good as yours
Yeah, I must agree. They make it funny and I appreciate how they make their viddies:)
FACT
Err... What about Jason Cammisa? Throttle House themselves (along with Carfection and few others) praised his team for the ICONS on CT5-V/Tesla S Plaid/M5 CS piece, seriously, watch it if you haven't.
what about Daddy doug
Absolutely agree!
"They didn't watch the Roma review, did they?
I guess not."
I felt that.
HAHA ohh.. I made myself sad
I think they did, which is why they sent them the F8
I love a lot of the intro shenanigans on this channel.
@@MikeRitland as opposed to?
@@avip9 as in, to redeem themselves from sending the Roma. Im not sure what you’re asking by opposed to?
“I can’t dance in real life but driving this through here I feel like I’ve been dancing my whole life” what a statement
The 458 Italia is my favorite Ferrari ever produced. Incredible car. Of course I could be biased, because it's also only 1 of 2 Ferrari's I have ever had the pleasure of driving/riding in. That NA V8 was pure bliss.
no I get it too, it's not the best Ferrari in terms of Performance and Technology, but there's something about it, they hit a sweet-spot with it that can only be felt and not measured.
from how it looks, to how it sounds, the name, the Interior, etc, I'm no expert but I think it's gonna have its value rising as time goes on.
and it's easily one of the best looking Supercars, I think one of the old BMW/Ferrari/Mercedes Exterior Designers said it's a top 3 Ferrari for him, in terms of design and timeless beauty.
it looks great from every angle.
@@Ar1AnX1x
I believe you're right about that.
The last NA V8 middie. 😢
Edit: From Ferrari.
My brother and I rented one for 2 days. I don't care that there are faster cars. The 458 was just incredible and the sound makes it one of the last ferrari's in my book
I think it’s very interesting that the F8 and the F12 both received similar existential car questions like, “Is 700 horsepower too much?” Jeremy Clarkson’s review of the F12 was beautiful and now this ties in very nicely
That review is awesome. I Review it from time to time. 😅
Ferrari thought the answer was no because for the 812 they added almost 100 more horses.
It is. I drove the F8 and I was going well over 80 in just second gear.
@@Kronos0999
As in 80mph?
@@projectr2451 yes
6:48 I love that the speedometer is smaller than the "OK" button on the driver assistance warning screen.
"Sorry officer, I honestly didn't know how fast I was going because I couldn't find my speedometer."
Even though I like the design of Ferraris as of late, I still think about how much better would a new Ferrari look if it was designed by Pininfarina. The new designs are not as timeless and elegant.
They hated Pininfarina because he designed a beautiful rival to ferrari, the Lancia Stratos. Problem was they were drama queens and they already had early adaptation of their (Ferrari Design Studio) which is built to remove their contract with Pininfarina imo. I could be wrong
@@PS3Cooooooool They WERE drama queens? WERE?
@@dzello Lmao, was about to make the exact same comment! 😅👌
I so agree with you. The 458 Italia still grips the heart and I'm not getting the same emotional attachment with this one.
I agree with you, however Roma is the most elegant car I've seen in years. I didn't like it at first but I've learned to love it now.
You might say… this is not the greatest car ever made, this is just a… Tributo 😎
Haha well played!👏
Seriously though, the F8 is a beautiful machine. Especially in an era of bloated stagecoach like SUVs, a pure sports car, a canyon carver, a tracker twister and a route router is impressive. Twenty years from now we will all sigh and tell our grandkids " I remember when cars didn't run on tracks and you could steer them yourself...." Oh kudos to the drone guy, nice footage.
Its design is worse than the 488 and 458 for sure. Ridiculous amount of lines cuts and everything, its lost it’s simplicity
Wrong.
You seem to love sporty cars and sporty driving and have a general dislike for hatckbacks and SUV's. I'd like to ask your thoughts on the new GR Corolla
@@chiggamanchild So far I actually like it. It's not the most elegant, for sure, but I like the more aggressive lines on this car. Sort of reminds me about the complaints on the BMW E60 styling. A lot of this is subjective either way :P
Sedans have been moving up-market because economy cars don't command profit margins like SUVs, nor do Americans have high demand for lower-class econoboxss.
Oh my god; this is Top Gear level cinematography. Keep it up guys!
The rear end of the F8 Tributo is perhaps the best looking rear end of any car ever made!
I legitimately strive to be as beautiful articulate as both Thomas and James. The way you both tie current events along with innovation is on a next level. Linguistically, your work is masterful and I commend you both so much. This is by and large some of the best auto related content I’ve ever witnessed and I’m forever influenced positively for it. Especially as we collectively delve into a new realm of energy and transportation. Thank you.
This is a review I wasn't expecting but I'm so glad we got it
Glad they did it
You guys must have absolutely hustled your assess off to get all of these cars while out in California. You are officially the snowbirds of auto reviewers, I hope this becomes an annual thing... Unless you're never coming back to Ontario. Congrats guys on having the best auto review channel on YT. Keep it up.
My family has been Ferrari collectors since the 60s. My grandfather, my father, and now me. The only car that has made my father cry from enjoyment is his 512 BBI. The screaming V12 of that car, with the cream interior, overlooking the red hood tied with the two toned contrast black bottom skirts, with a manual transmission... my father still gets emotional when he drives it. When I took delivery of my tailored F8, the drive home was emotional to me, because I knew it was the pinnacle of mid engine Ferrari. Additionally, I knew it was the last time I would be leaving my dealer in a mid engine Ferrari with all power being provided from an V8 internal combustion engine. I didn't care about the sound, the lack of a manual... it was the smell, the G's I felt in my hips under curves, the leathers, the tactile switches, the feeling of emotional connection, its sensational.
The 512 BBi isn’t a V12. One of the B’s stands for boxer
This guy just made up a story about taking delivery of an f8, my g, stfu hahahahaaha 512 BBI v12 hahahaha
So fun to see you guys reviewing cars on the roads I grew up “carving” in whatever cheap car I had and two motorcycles I was blessed to blast through there. Love you guys.
where is this?
nothing quite like waking up and enjoying throttle house with a cup of coffee. This channel is probably my favorite on youtube. Keep it up you guys
the production quality of these videos keep getting insanely better….shoutout to you two and everyone working behind the scenes
It's so nice to see you bring comic to these reviews in your own original way. This is exactly why I also liked the old Top Gear and the current Grand Tour. Great job!
With this masterpiece you‘re on par with Top Gear in its best times. Cinematography, images, editing - great!
Love this clip ❤️
I had goosebumps all video long. This car is simply orgasmic, but your talent as reviewers mixed with your high quality production made this F8 shine even more.
I stopped a Thestraightpipes video to watch this. Couldn't be happier 😅
Excellent change! Always.
This channel, and hagerty are by absolute favorite car channels.. you guys are growing QUICK!! I subbed to you maybe like, 1 year ago? maybe 1.5 years ago and you had 500k... now, youre a few days away from 2m,,.. UNREAL. keep it up! love the jokes
This channel is top notch. Like the knowledge these guys bring is insane and the quality they produce is elite. I’ve tried watching other videos on cars but always come back to these guys.
The enthusiasm on display and the sheer visceral joy shown (esp by Thomas 😆) is infectious. Love watching these guys!
You guys really are a cut above most other CZcams car channels 👍👍
Writing, delivery, production, editing, are all to be applauded
I love your reviews guys. The production quality, the synergy between you both, and the humor, it feels perfect, just like this car.
I can't wait to see you guys grow more. I can binge re-watch all your videos for days. You deserve tens of millions of subs so keep up the grind!
let's appreciate the simplicity of the twin turbocharged 32 valves v8 with variable valve timing, 8000rpm redline and the 7 speed dct that lie between the explosions and the wheels
The production of these videos is amazing. You guys are killing it. Truly professionals.
The ability to expertly communicate the feeling of driving the car, the intangible things, the 'personality' is why I love this channel.
Thank you Throttle House for this experience. You seem to capture emotion in a way I have rarely seen. Next time you are in the States, please come to Colorado we have amazing mountain roads and race tracks.
You guys continue to up the quality on these reviews. Easily one of my favorite channels
I just finally got my F8, and I will have to say. I agree 100% with every second of this review!! Fantastic work gents! Keep up the good work.
If you have one then don't trust on any video by anyone.trust yourself
Your reviews are just amazing, the detail and presentation is unmatched and you always manage to make us laugh. I hope you keep it up cause we all love the intros as well 👏👏
What an amazing review guys! And the fact that you guys get along makes the good goofy nerdy monents while it makes them sooo natural. Thank you for the amazing content, golden!
I love this spec! That blue is outstanding! I wouldn’t change a thing about this car. Well maybe I would get yellow calipers and straight pipe it! 👌🔥
Thanks Kent, nice to see that your inner 13 year old still lives !
The production quality - amazing as always!
Amazing video as always and man the blue with the silver wheels is stunning!
One of the most entertaining and easily watchable review channels, without compromising the information being communicated.
Two things I still remember. The first time I heard a Ferrari - 360 Modena - rip down the street and when I drove a 458 and ripped through the gears with that beautiful sound behind me. Now I have a C8. Love.
Must be a nice alternative to the Ferrari with the mid-engine. And more reliable too.
Awesome, best production, and great reviews.
Keep em coming.👍
Brilliantly free content! I absolutely love the two of you reviewing cars. Two men with two different accents make the videos enchanting too! I wonder if the two of you articulate so well, or you two drive the cars first then write the script and drive again for shooting. I think your viewers would be interested in watching some behind the scenes videos. Love it!
You guys make my week better
with these awesome cars and reviews
Great car but I agree that the 458 is the one you want. I heard one tearing down a small highway near Mt house a few years ago and I can still remember that sound so distinctly
Mannnnn you guys are the best. Great review as usual and epic Duo giving us the greatest content in the best way. We can't not like this (one two punch) duo.
Holy f the production value of this channel has gone throuth the roof! Keep up the funny snippets and the amazing editing guys!
I forgot about the Roma review until the intro. Props to Ferrari for sending you the F8, whether they saw the Roma review or not! 😂
I agree that the front end of the 458 looked much better to me. The Pista is probably my favorite on this platform, but still a beautiful car. I honestly still prefer the 458 as well. The headlights were so Kool on it lol. The sound etc.
I also prefer the 458 personally
Your reviews are spot on. Amazing... I drop an F8 2 days before watching this review - and you nailed it. "It drives pretty". I'd say that the pace of the car is so easy / effortless. Like it's super easy to go really really fast and feel in control. For me personally - I'd choose a car with more drama.
This channel is my favorite car show since Top Gear/The Grand Tour with the trio, seriously awesome videos guys!
What a great car and such an articulate way of describing it. It was as if I literally could feel the ride the way you guys described it. Love to watch your videos mates. Keep up the good work.
I’m honestly really impressed by the film making it feels like a documentary
Great car but I too would choose a 458, for the looks and the naturally aspirated engine. Wonderful review, as always.
Honestly, the production value of these videos are just insane now. Gives me prime Top Gear vibes and I don't say that lightly. Bravo, you boys know what you are doing.
Love these guys & especially when they do super car reviews it just makes my day!
We appreciate you guys always saying the truth about the cars that you guys review
I´ve always thougth that the 458 was the most beautiful Ferrai ever, the 488 and now the F8 look too busy in comparison. I agree that the ininterrupted lines are what makes the 458 such a beauty and the holes in the rear wheel arches for the turbos are, in my opinion the thing that puts me off the most.
I just wanna say you guys make the best review videos because even tho most of us watching could never buy this let alone drive this car. You make us feel like we’re riding with you. Love the videos so much makes me wanna jump in my car and just drive for hours.
always putting out SUCH quality content!
Yea... I'd still take a 458 SA. But it's still quite a striking and impressive car!
Speciale Aperta is nowhere near the F8's price though
@@antonis5999 That is technically true? But if you can afford $400K car, odds are, you can probably afford a $650K car as well.
The 458 is probably my most favorite 😍 I also love the f550 too
You just CEMENTED for me what I quietly always felt about Lamborghini V’s Ferrari with the most brilliant quote.
“If a Huracan Sings, the Ferrari Dances”
👏🏻 👏🏻
Some of the best intros I’ve seen. Witty. Funny. Grabs our attention.
Love it!
It would be interesting to see a tuning company take these later Ferrari’s, remove the turbos and the particulate filters, and engineer a supercharger for it to bring back that performance, that would make for a compelling modern Ferrari.
I'm "James"! No....my name is really James! U guys are the best !!!
Loved this one, thank you guys and keep it up
u guys are God level tier reviewers now... it's awesome to watch
And the editors are amazing too
Of all the car reviewers on CZcams, you guys are the only one capable of instilling a sense of wonder and fascination in your audience. Well done, truly. :)
Check out Hagerty with Jason Cammisa.
Beautiful but I have to say I'd take the 458 over the F8 or the 488 any day, 458 is just pure design with no extra gaping vents or slits, and the screaming naturally aspirated V8 just can't beat that
That opening landscape scene was absolutely beautiful. Keep up the amazing work guys!
Damn i love the mid mounted analogue gauge cluster. Love your videos as always. You've getting better and better every time.
I'm not sure if I've said this before, but your content is perfect. I always look forward to these videos.
75 year's of Ferrari engineering 💪🏻
Beautiful machine. And good on you for not pulling punches. Never change!
What a beautiful car! If it performs even a fraction of a percentage point as well as it looks, it may be the closest thing to perfect as there is on the highways of the world.
Personally, I like the looks of this car more than those of the 458, though the 458 is also incredibly gorgeous! I guess I’m a geek for intake vents, or something, but this car just looks light-speed-fast when it’s standing still.
To me, the 458 does have gorgeous flowing lines, but in some ways, I feel that it’s almost too plain (almost). I also prefer the front of the F8 over that of the 458. The 458 nose seems a bit too horizontal; I think the diagonal and vertical lines of the F8 break up the space a bit better. Also, for me, the return of the quad-circular taillights is just the pies de resistance! It’s enough to put it over the top, even if I hated the other differences!
All in all, though, I’d love to have either one and, as you said, it’s all subjective.
One thing I think maybe everyone agrees on, though... despite the lower power ratings, I’d MUCH rather have the naturally aspirated engine in “my” F8. Better dependability (presumably, but hey, it’s a Ferrari), better sound, better driving experience... I think.
How quiet it is from 6-8k is truly depressing. Ferrari is about emotion, and that's the emotion this gives. This isn't a celebration of life; it's a funeral
probably need to go for a after market exhaust
Just needs an aftermarket exhaust. They sound great with the right exhaust. The GPF is probably to blame more than the exhaust or cats.
Ferrari engineers stated they aren’t happy with the sound of the f8…regulations suck
Y'all always bring out the big guns for the important cars. The Viper ACR, the LFA...great work!
You’re becoming my favourite channel with your humour, your intellect and conversational skills. Loved the German bug finding out about Italian passion
458s are pretty yes....but this has the power and performance a modern Ferrari should have..amazing review as always gentleman 👏
Get these boys a Netflix show !!
what a great review.....oh the goosebumps.....keep up the good work
Thank you both, a lovely enjoyable and humourous video. Cheers.
The new ferraris like the Roma have gone too far with the touch screens. This is the last one with tactile buttons and switches.
I don't mind going full touch screen, if they are done right. But the Roma is not, sadly
@@frankwu1713 I do, even the iconic engine start button is touch.
All cars have gone too far with touch screens. I just hope this fad ends sooner rather than later.
I prefer the looks of this one over the 458
Great video! You guys are making top notch videos, thank you!
The best car review channel, has a bit of everything and all bits are done very well, no cap
My heart lies with the F355 (or previously the 438), not the Italia. I always felt like the 458 Italia was a little too try-hard in its styling. I think I even preferred the F430 (the last manual mid-engined Ferrari) over the Italia. I do find the F8 Tributo has some wonkiness to its styling, but it does look very much like a Ferrari and has a lot of 'tribute' flowing through it, notably those 90s-esque wheels (absolutely love them...a bit of Ferrari F50 in those).
Sure, I guess I could forego the manual transmission in something like this, but that's kinda why something like an F355 will be so timeless. The compromise & the reward. The engine note is also missing here; turbochargers and filters are a benefit.
I often wonder if; chasing fuel economy numbers, the turbocharged DI engine is favoured, which also produces more solid particulate, so filters are added. But...could it not be possible to build an old engine like the 5V F129 & F131, with dual injection and treat emissions with 2 stages of catalytic converter? You'd get piss poor fuel economy, but you'd take care of the emissions. Then, you could sandwich in an electric motor for all the meaningless driving you'd do. So you get to enjoy a nice 90s engine when you want, and get an average fuel economy that would balance out the fuel consumption. With all the very smart people out there, is there not a way to have our cake and eat it too?
Was looking for a comment just such as this. The 458 comes across as very much overstyled compared to its predecessors.
The AMG GT has an extremely good exhaust note and it's twin turbocharged. Having turbochargers is not an excuse for poor sound.
This has a flat plane crank
They said why, due to the FAP
It’s the particulate filters that choke it up
Great review and very creative ! This is refreshing to watch
I have been subscribed for a while now...and you are slowly becoming my replacement for the Top Gear/Grand Tour Trio.....I enjoy the funny and very well informed banter! Now you just need to up the cinematography game and you are gonna be on Amazon!! Keep it up!
Wish emission restrictions were based on production numbers, so actual cool cars could do what they want
I have been thinking the exact same thing. My mother with her 1.4tce Renault will pollute way more than any Ferrari F8 ever will because even if the F8 outputs say double the CO2, it will not do even half the milage of the Renault in its life...
I agree with Thomas. The 458 is a beautiful, simple, and timeless design. The tributo is beautiful as well but has too much going on with the styling
No lie I like the F8 more. Something about its design gives me a better “feeling” than the 458’s
I love you guys I really do I've seen so many videos on this car but your work it hits just special
I wasn't there with you, but I felt I was enjoying the same perfection feeling with you guys. Thanks! Very good work!
The beauty thing is, really, completely subjective. I think the F8 is more beautiful than the 458 exactly because 1 - it looks like its evolution, and 2 - it looks more aggressive. And the most beautiful supercar ever? That will be the 360 Modena, IMO. I simply LOVE the F8, every bit of it. Thanks for another excellent video, guys!
