Debuting at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari F8 was the latest chapter in the brand’s long line of mid-engine sports cars. With a shape that can trace its lineage back to the stunning 458 Italia of 2010, the F8 – known as the F8 Tributo in closed form and F8 Spider in open form – was ultimately the end of the mid-mounted V-8 era for Ferrari, replaced by the hybrid, V-6-powered 296.

Utilizing the same V-8 engine as the 488 Pista, the F8’s output was identical to the previous generation’s track-focused variant, while benefiting from improved turbo response characteristics and revised ratios in the car’s seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox. As such, the F8 has earned its place in Ferrari history as the final non-hybrid, V-8-powered, mid-engine car from the hallowed brand. With limited production over a four-year span, approximately 2,000 Spiders are estimated to have been built.

While Rosso Corsa (Racing Red) may be Ferrari’s most iconic color, the marque has always offered a wide palette, and many buyers select a shade to suit the lines of a particular model. Among the most appealing is Blu Tour De France 70 – a hue named with a nod to the 1950s Tour de France 250 GT models and reintroduced in 2017 as a rich metallic navy to commemorate Ferrari’s 70th anniversary.

The discerning first owner selected the attractive hue for this F8 Spider, pairing it with a Cuoio (Tan Leather) interior accented by central blue seat stripes for a harmonious and tailored finish. Additional options on this example included a host of carbon fiber features: air splitter, rear boot trim, B-post trim, driver zone with LEDs, central bridge, and dashboard inserts. Among the aesthetic details selected were Scuderia Ferrari shields, red brake calipers, colored mats with logo, and headrests bearing Cavallino Rampante logos. The AFS (Advanced Frontlighting System) headlights and suspension lifter were also specified, along with a host of other options that boosted the F8’s original sticker price to $380,457.

Acquired by the consignor in 2023 as part of a diverse collection of Ferraris and other world-class exotics, this F8 has only been occasionally driven, accruing a modest 691 miles at the time of cataloguing. Whether its next custodian intends to enjoy this open Ferrari legend and add thrilling, adrenaline-pumped miles to the odometer, or simply continue careful light use and preservation, this is a stunning example specified in outstanding colors, enhanced by an enviable list of factory options that will be appreciated for years to come.
