Ferrari F8 Tributo with more power

In 2019, Ferrari presented the F8 Tributo and with it a new V8 engine with 710 hp, which many consider one of the best engines produced in the past few decades. However, German tuner Keyvany believes that the engine can develop much more horsepower.

The sports car received carbon parts such as sills, rear diffuser, side mirror housings, spoiler and more, which increased the downforce. Of course, Keyvany did not forget to equip the car with new 21/22-inch aluminum rims.

Inside, black fabric dominates in combination with black, red and white leather. The seats are upholstered in white leather with a tricolor stripe running vertically down the middle of the seat, while the headboard features an embroidered inscription and company logo.

The Ferrari F8 Tributo is powered by a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 850 hp (625 kW) and 680 lb-ft (922 Nm) of torque. The standard F8 Tributo has 710 (530 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 N-m) of torque. To unleash the extra power of the V8 engine, the tuner remapped the ECU unit and installed a new exhaust system. Now the F8 Tributo hits 62 mph in 2.8 seconds, 0.1 second faster than the base model, with a top speed of 218 mph (351 km/h).

Ferrari Monza SP2 with 830 HP

The German company Mansory is known for modifying luxury cars and super cars. So recently, at the request of one owner, it presented the unique Ferrari Monza SP2. Ferrari produced only 250 of the Monza SP2, and this owner wanted his car to stand out from the rest.

In 2018, Ferrari presented two models, Monza SP1 and Monza SP2, inspired by the 750 Monza, 250 Testarossa and 166 MM models. This started the era of a new lineage of models called the “Icona” series.

Mansory equipped the car with new carbon components such as front lip, reinforced sills and a new rear diffuser. The front part is decorated with a double stripe across the bonnet, a black aerodynamic scoop on the driver’s side. Monza SP2 is painted in Rosso Corsa color, which was also used for the edges of the carbon parts. The car also got “YT.5 Air” rims, new air intake system, new exhaust system and tuned suspension components. It sits on 21- and 22-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 275/30 ZR21 (front) and 335/25 ZR22 (rear) tires.

Mansory Monza SP2 is powered by a 6.5L V12 engine that now has 830 hp (610 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm) of torque. That’s a significant increase considering the standard Monza SP2 has 810 hp (596 kW) and 530 lb-ft (719 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The base SP2 reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed in excess of 186 mph (300 km/h), while the performance of the upgraded model is unknown.

Mansory has not announced the price of the upgrade.

ABT RS3-R based on the Audi RS3

The Audi RS3 is a top-of-the-line car that, after its introduction last year, demonstrated its capabilities on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. However, the German company ABT Sportsline believes that the car can and must be better, so it presented a limited edition ABT RS3-R.

The ABT RS3-R is equipped with a special equipment kit that brings a lot of carbon parts with a high-gloss finish, sports stabilizer bars, ABT intercooler, adjustable suspension and ABT suspension springs that enable a lowering range of 20-40 mm at the front and rear axle. There’s also a set of 20-inch ABT High Performance HR20 alloy wheels wrapped in 245/30 R20 Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport R tires.

The limited edition ABT RS3-R is powered by a 2.5-liter 5-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 500 hp (368 kW) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. That’s a significant increase considering the RS3 has 400 hp (294 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h). Drivers will be able to choose between ECO, SPORT or RACE mode.
