Following its recent global launch at Geneva Motor Show, the all new Ferrari F8 Tributo was unveiled by Alfardan Motors, the official Ferrari importer in Oman, in an exclusive event held at the Ferrari Showroom in Muscat last week. The F8 Tributo is the new mid-rear-engined sports car that represents the highest expression of the Prancing Horse’s classic two-seater berlinetta. It is a car with unique characteristics and, as its name implies, is an homage to the most powerful V8 in Ferrari his-tory, a press release said.
The F8 Tributo sets the market benchmark for performance, driving pleasure and ease of handling. It makes the exhilarating performance of the best 8-cylinder in the world accessible to all drivers, with unprecedented handling and superior ride comfort. The F8 Tributo replaces the 488 GTB and, in the range, is the model with the highest performance matched by the greatest driver involvement. There are significant improvements across the board aimed at providing even better control on the limit along with greater on-board comfort. In the automotive world, Ferrari’s V8 engine is seen as the very epitome of sportiness and driving pleasure. This is particularly the case when it is mid-rear-mounted in a two-seater. Ferrari has been honing the scope of abilities of this architecture, which creates an optimal weight balance, and thus delivers unparalleled thrillingly sporty driving, to perfection for over four decades. The F8 Tributo is the most aerodynamically effici-ent mid-rear-engined berlinetta ever designed. The Ferrari F8 Tributo is expected to be on the roads later this year and is available only through Alfardan Motors.
