Does The Ferrari F8 Tributo Fix The Spider's Problems, Now 296 GTB is out is it Still Worth Buying?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2024
- In today's video I am looking at the fantastic Ferrari F8 Tributo. I recently got to drive the F8 Spider and although I absolutely loved it, I felt that it was lacking in a couple of departments - notably noise and chassis rigidity. The coupe promises to fix both of those, so does it - and more importantly, now we know what is next from Ferrari, should you still buy an F8?

Jay, you've achieved the ultimate quality desired by any professional presenter, you make the viewer feel like your friend 👌🏻
That means a lot, thankyou!
Agreed. My day always gets a bit better whenever I get to see him in a new video
I would recommend you as Top Gear host :)
@@albertosantangelo6872 I don't agree, top gear is forced and staged where as Jay is literally just your mate taking you for a spin telling you about the car he's been lucky enough to drive, no matter the car.
@@averagepal572 I meant the original Clarkson’s Top Gear, not the latest version
I think the 296 looks too much like a Corvette and I just can’t unsee it. Would be an F8 all day long for me, or even 488.
Seeing a Corvette is not a good thing.
Still a 458 for me.
agreed, just what I saw,
Looks like a 288 GTO a bit. I expect a 296 GTO hardcore variant.
Looks to much like Ford GT
Apart from the thunderstorms, the apparently endless Ferrari supply you got is amazing 😂
The car looks fantastic in person. It's the best looking Ferrari. The rear end and the quad taillights look great. The car I saw was silver with red interior and that is what I would go for.
"Daft cat in the road" purposeful, yet cheeky. So British.
I didn't understand that part; not from Britain.?
Jay, you really do a great job presenting. Very thorough. Thanks for the content.
Jay’s reviews and perspective give such a great front seat experience. So connecting… It’s like owning the car for a bit.
Fantastic review Jay, the perfect balance of information, humour and candour, well done mate
Thanks Steve, much appreciated
I love when people use the word "investment" when what they mean is "loss".
idc i want one
Well it matters even in loss. On average, a McLaren will depreciate far far far quicker than a Ferrari will. Also some Ferraris are actually increasing their value tenfold.
@@elwingy Yeah... If you were lucky enough to pick up a Dino and not drive it for 60 years you are sorted.
@@fredmercury1314 you think that if I had right now a Dino with 30k km on it, that I would lose money? :P Nevertheless my main point is that even in loss there is an “investment” factor when you know a Ferrari will hold its value much better than the equivalent Lambo or McLaren.
5 years ago ..,I bought my first dream car..a 2016 488 GTB..I had to wait to be way over 50.!!!.and it's a keeper, i will never sell it to upgrade especially since I drove the dealer's F8 for two days..first it's too far away from my price range now...but if I compare it to my GTB ,I can't find where the huge price gap is in term of driving pleasure (on my level)..it's really a Ferrari for rich speculators..,always worried about how many miles/kms they put on the car ,this F8 Tributo is too much for people who really drive their cars..!! ,and you're completely correct with those strange noises coming from an obvious default in the general assembly of the interior ,I truly believe that 'specs' are fantastic for whom can afford them (just outrageous prices for some options) when it comes to specific carbon bits & interior details ,but I chose my car because it was the simplest interior that was coming at the time ,NO 'specs' just the most simple black 'stock' interior same for the seats (first price..!)..the special seats were somehow awful & not comfy at all (carbon whatever..!!) and I feel that my car was better 'put' together and built than a full on 'speced' car. .and I recommend Sport Proxes TOYO tires / TR1,they are just great tires and priced...the Michelin cup tires are over rated (i think) and can take 'days' to warm-up in cold/wet weather ,I put winters on ,since I drive my Ferrari as a daily all year around in the Alps so a protection film is a must ,I did a Daytona black wrap Pista style).
What spectacular, informative and very enjoyable review! This video is extremely helpful to me. Thank You, Jay!
Thanks J, great looking & sounding car!
Quite new to your channel, but really like the way you review cars.
Have liked and subscribed. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks Jeff, hope you enjoy it
I saw you the other day coming down ballingdon hill in the 430 👍🏻
Lol. I saw him in BSE 😎
Great and entertaining Video like always - even when i feel a little Ferrari overdose lately. - Nevertheless: Cool review!
Great video. Awesome car.
Excellent reviews on cars I can't afford and some that I can.
Such a pretty thing imo. Would love a shot
Gotta love that Ferrari gravy train :)
Choo choo
🙂
‘Attention Everybody, All Change’……
2:06 - when the satnav takes you down a single track road and you just pray nothing comes the other way
It's an impressive feat of engineering but in the real world how relevant is it? Where does it end? 1-125 in 3secs? By which time humans won't be able to cope with that level of performance. We will be left with cars that will do it but without any human interaction, the driver will become nothing more than a passenger.
So glad you made this review in time for my decision. How would you rate the F8 Tributo in terms of fun to drive around a very tight curvy road (marked 30 mph top recommended speed, but the actual speed limit is 55 mph) vs a 718 GT4 vs speculation on a 718 GT4RS?
I currently own a 987.2 Cayman R since new and drive it with great enjoyment around tight mountain roads with 59,000 miles on the odometer. Not sure on the fun factor with the longer wheelbase or electric steering in the F8 when compared to the Cayman R. Not sure all the F8 power would be useable on tight curves?
Quickest car I ever drove. Magnificent package!
Best car channel!
0-125 in 7.6 seconds, hell yeah. Yes please.
@Hd35 Hd35 no it’s not worth the money, give me a manual m3 and a manual 911 gt3, great two car garage.
I really hope that people start buying as many of Ferrari's V8s and V12 as possible now instead of that v6, as a protest to this plague of downsizing
I am sticking with my 458 Spider.
And I will stick with my 430 🤣
then you sold it soon after this comment 😄
I love the look and the sound of it I hope you got some decent runs with it
Must be a cool feeling to go from zero with no subs to the point where you’re respected enough to be offered a car like this.
Esther and Jerry are great. I met them in Seattle at their workshop. I just happened to get on the elevator they were on. Very nice people. I'd love to sit down someday and chat.
Love the colour. I think the 296 could convince me to buy a Tributo before it is too late..
It’s nice, but I prefer 458.
No, you don’t
458 is history.
I mean even if I could afford this over the Emira I’d honestly rather have the Emira. Two words. Manual gearbox
Plus proper sound
@@JEZ288 true i don't understand why anyone would buy this if they want a proper performance car
@@togafly. What's a proper performance car?
@@mathewsinger4214 a car that gives you a feeling ,a passion to drive than this crap
@@togafly. ferraris are just bland now.
One thing I read about the rear slitted window in the Tributo is that this plastc window or whatever it is made out of, vibrates, so you get poor visibility through it. Very blurred.
Great video. Your brave to take a wide car down a narrow country lane.
Honestly it's very easy to place. A 3 series is much scarier down the same road.
Love your videos, and honest opinions!
One issue that would be great to get your perspective on, Jay, is what happens when we are forced to move to full electric. Would these become art pieces in the garage, cause fuel would be prohibitively expensive?
Not sure that companies like Ferrari will ever fully move over to full range of electric cars.
I think companies like Ferrari will offer a bespoke service for customers that are willing to pay a premium for a petrol engine powered vehicle.
The super car brands of this world aren’t the real polluters of the environment tbh 🤔
@@brentpowell7889 great point. The problem will be the companies supplying oil. How much will one be willing pay for fuel? And where will they get it from if availability becomes an issue?
I certainly hope fuel supply doesn't become an issue stopping cars like these being produced.
@@mushfiqurr , the earth still has massive reserves of fossil fuels, u will have to pay a premium no doubt, maybe technology will allow a man made fuel to be compatible, with a few engine modifications.
Whatever happens let’s hope the petrol lives on in some format 👍
Someone else's 700+ hp Ferrari on gravel sounds like a great time!
Good looking Ferrari, but I rarely watch your modern super car reviews. The reason I subscribed was the fact you drove and reviewed alot of 80/90/00 cars. Sub 40k cars are at realistic price that I can afford. Just my opinion. 👍
James when is the JayEmm brand funky shirts company starting?
Only feedback I’ll make is I got a little confused as to which car I was looking at when you cut in the …what I presume is the 296? I followed mostly but a couple times I got tripped up at the end. Nbd though.
You can tell I'm British, because I clicked like after listening to all the complaining at the start ☺ Do love a bit of the national hobby.
...I'm not suggesting anyone should make videos that are just 20 minutes of complaining though, I still came for a car review.
Hard to insure. Hard to find places to drive without risking it getting there. But what a dream car. One of my favorites. Wow.
Lmao
Not so hard to insure, my F8 Spider costs me less than £500 pa.
Thanks
I'm surprised that you didn't opt for the F8, James, if the payments were affordable.
I'm not a Ferrari expert, but I would wager that the last mid-engined Ferrari V8 sportscar will hold it's value over time, if not appreciate.
I thought it was the new Lotus Emira in that thumbnail! :)
Same here!
Seeing the F8 in this blue, it's now clear to me where Lotus drew its inspiration from.
Evora is good looking aint it? But their corporate owners feeling free to 'copy'....and so on.
@@dash-ryan Maybe - the Emira retains a lot of the previous Lotus in looks. They aimed to make it look like a supercar so they must have looked at several cars and, yes, this is likely one of them.
Honestly..I feel like im riding shotgun with my friend from Britain with your videos..Im not sure how many RUclipsrs I can say im feel like im riding aling with a friend during their videos. Ya NONE JUST YOU JAY.
To me the 296 is the prettier car. More subtle at front, rather than that big angry look. Smoother less aggressive profile with those beautiful raised intakes that remind me of older Ferraris. The F8 from the rear looks better with the traditional tail lights. Great presentation by the way. Thankyou.
Had the 458 for three years nearly with NO LIFT and never once scraped the car, lift is not required in the UK and I've even parked in multi storey car parks scrape free.
Jay we need an update on the Porsche 944/video ?
I don't know if it's intentional on your part, James, but your reviews are beginning to remind me of the former version of an automotive programme on TV featuring three overgrown schoolboys. Can't quite remember what it was called. Oh well, I'm sure it'll come to me.
Disclaimer: this comment is most definitely intended as a compliment 😋
Jay - please explain - what is “scuttleshake”?
Have to say that the new Dino 296 looks wonderful in that red paint scheme, if only it could be had with a modern 6 speed gated manual shifter :/
Great looking car. Not the best sound, oh well. Mat be looking for a used one in the distant future?
sounds like a dyson
It’s a rhetorical question..right?..beautiful in blue.
Hope the tractor wasn't damaged?
Anyone else feel like cars are looking more and more the same lately? f8 looks like new lotus emira and the Mlaren Arturo and even c8 from various angles?
i think that's been going on for quite a while... just the other day a guy pulls into a gas station and i immediately went up to him and went on and on and on about what a beaUtiful 1936 Ford Three-window business coupe he had. he politely listened and then informed me that it was a Packard. :)
@@deep6thisdeep6this92 There's a guy in my area who drives a pre-war something to the supermarket, skinny vulcanized tyres and all. Everytime I see it I want to thank him for driving something interesting instead of another CUV.
Best super car in the world!
F8 or Pista? Now that is an interesting question
What's your prediction on the pistas holding there price.
No f8 tributo special series so that should be good for residuals.
They'll drop slowly
@@JayEmmOnCars thanks for your reply,I appreciate it,I expect them to drop a little but not much,such a good car,I've just bought one,59 miles 👍
4:00 does that mean if an owner without the lift will receive free repairs and additional compensation should they smack the front end on an approach ramp of a multi-storey car park, plush hotel or a councils over zealous speed bump….. 🤔 some how I think not
Definitely has the modern take of the 308 GTB, was never a fan of the aesthetics of that and unfortunately not really a fan of modern Ferrari design in general. F430 was the peak for me
..and same shirt worn in the F8 Spider review 😂
Can't they widen the roads? There's no where to breakdown. It does remind me of Magnum PI
The michelin sport cup 2 for the rear (which are bigger than the front) are £360 fitted buying at black circles.
So it seems you pay over a 100% increase in £££ letting Ferrari fit them at the factory. 🤔
@JAY Do you think it is much better than the 488GTB?
I haven't had enough time in the 488 really
I would rather have your scuderia, everything after that sounded a bit soulless, even the 458 imho. Same with the Aventador compared to the Murcielago
I thought the Porsche range was confusing…
Cool
There are definite similar styling cues between this and the Emira - £240k or £80k, I am sticking with my Emira! Ferrari is still lovely tho! (and I cant afford it)
Does look similar to the Emira
Yea I’m thinking the same. I’d rather have the the Emira
If you think the normal person wants to drive a Hybrid and deal with a Hybrid car on day to day bases you are highly mistaken my friend, and that is why the F8 Spider is far better to have than the SF90 or the 296 GTB.
That camera on the wing mirror (I assume it's for the 360 camera) looks horrendous 😂
Doesn't it just
Have you tried a pista?
296 GTB is just Ferrari testing the water withtout going all in!!!
Daft cat in the road sounds like a Loudon Wainwright song. Oh no, hang on, that was dead skunk. Love the car anyway.
I think a big Bentley shud suits you well mate.... more proportionate....
4 days.... i have 0. Lycky you.
£350,000 GBP for a USED one here in Au.
I can’t get over those huge banners of license plates they make you guys put on your cars! Why is that? Surely they could make them a touch smaller.
We are reaching a point where I don’t know a majority of the Ferrari model names it seems
I swear i read it as f8 biturbo
296 looks nice bit the problem is it's a V6 and not a V8 or V12.
brace yourself Kuddles, in a couple years it won't be a V-anything.
@@deep6thisdeep6this92 Is there any point in Ferrari existing if they don't have engines in them? The engine is such a big part of Ferrari if you take that away and put in a generic electric motor the powerplant won't really be any different to the other million EV's out there. You can't really add any character to an EV powerplant, they are all pretty much identical with different power outputs.
@@deep6thisdeep6this92 sadly I think your right
Do a review on a BMW 640i/d
A bit random, not really a rival to this or in the same league of the cars he’s recently been reviewing….
“Criminal amount of scuttle shake”. Idiotic comment, I’ve driven both and chose the Spider. What flex there is doesn’t detract one bit from the overall driving experience. I also have an 812 GTS coming and you’re wrong about that car too. It’s a different style of car and you learn to drive it differently.
If I can’t have an F8 then I might as well go out and buy the Z06 corvette. The 296 has no soul to it. The sound is lackluster and the look shares the same boat. All of Ferrari’s spirit seems to lie in the F8. I truly hope sales will reflect this and Ferrari realize that spirit and numbers are not one in the same.
Hope that tractor driver was ok .
Looks like a vauxhall in that insipid blue....
Not worth it in the UK with those narrow roads and city traffic….
Does 296gtb is better than f8?
How do you miss a tractor 🤣 surely people pop out slightly check what’s coming then build speed and go around? Or maybe not everyone has that much sense lol
Nice channel……funny how you dont talk about maintenance…..hmmmm
It's free for the first seven years on all new Ferraris
@@JayEmmOnCars God only help you after that!
When Ferrari looks like McLaren.
These reviews of utterly irrelevant fantasy cars always amuse me. I love the way the reviewers talk about them as if the cars were actually important in some way. I happened to see a couple of these types of cars on the road in the past few days and the thing that struck me was just how extraordinarily wide they are. They literally fill the whole of the side of the carriageway of most B roads. Must be a constant sweat driving one on crowded and or narrow roads. Nonetheless they do look truly sensational in the flesh.
Exhaust note doesn't sound that great to me.
It's not a fashionable thing to say about Ferrari, but not just in photos, also in video I think this looks designed by committee and a mess (by Ferrari standards). Also awkwardly large from some angles. You mentioned the rear, actually rear 3/4 I don't mind. I like the 488 Pista front 1/4, this looks like that's been toned down and blended with 458. But I've not seen an F8 in person.
The F8 isn’t a hybrid, just a gas engine. Every Ferrari after it is. That’s why it’s simply the better choice.
is it just the color, or does this car and the new emira remind anybody of the similarities between jeff and beau bridges?
It's never easy to wear a shirt like that!
eunuch styling for sure
F8 trades 50k higher than list now. I guess your should have gotten it after all
They're not selling over list here
Ummmm rather a second hand 458
Loss of noise is sad
