I like the look. Its not going to make me change my 488 for it but its a definite improvement. However, this is a stop gap for the real 488 replacement due in a year or so as that car should be totally different.
I think they did a great job in making guys that owned a 458 to maybe make the switch.....the 488 wasn't enough for me with styling AND a turbo where this is.....I would trade my RS for this in a couple years time....
Did a little dance this AM as I was curious about the FL, much prefer the 488 design to the F8 personally but the F8 will compete better with the 720S and maybe an olive branch for those who couldn't get a Pista
The F8 Tributo looks like a 488 mashup with an 812 (interior and taillights)/Portofino (headlights) with Lotus Evora/19 NSX/Huracan Evo elements to me, but just my 2 cents
Supposedly the last turbo pure ICE mid-engine V8 from Maranello before the full fledged replacement comes in a couple years with V6 turbo hybrid FWIW

I think if you were to put the F8 next to 488, you would not see much of a difference in real life. Certainly not enough of a difference for me to change y 488. It does have a huracanish looking front to it. As far as performance, its still heavier and less hp than a 720 which is now a 2 year old model. Performance wise my 488 isn't even close to my 720. This has 50 more hp but its still heavier.
Its definitely an interesting time where Ferrari is rushing new models to market but no carbon tub, heavier, not as powerful as their competitor. Interesting times for sure.

where is the like button ala Fchat
dont see any reason for a 488 owner to upgrade but then again not many saw much sense in my move to get a 488 with the FL inbound. 458/488/F8 are all amazing cars in their own right in any case

458 pinnacle of mid engine V8 design IMO, a masterpiece from Pininfarina.. I don't blame you
