YouTuber ruthlessly destroys Ferrari F8 Tributo

Money is not for everyone, especially those who get rich quickly and become ostentatious and arrogant. They try to defy everything without holding anything sacred. Just to show that they can do it. One of them, on the YouTube channel WhistlinDiesel, published a video in which he does crazy things with the Ferrari F8 Tributo.

Ferrari is one of the biggest car brands in the world and has always taken care of its cars, trying to preserve and protect its name. In his apparent attempt to defy the Ferrari company, the YouTuber didn’t hesitate to be extremely cruel to his car. The title of his video says that he bought a car just to destroy it.

He drove the car on grass, gravel and mud. He also managed to climb up the muddy hill. While driving, he deliberately hit the fence of private property. As he passed between the trees, a branch ended up in the opening of the hood. At the end of the ride, he just stopped next to the man using the sander, sparks flying towards the car.

Finally, he gave the car a rough wash with a high-pressure washer. In the end, he and the other members of the team threw tools at the car, which was placed in a protective balloon. Of course, the car withstood it all.

Ferrari F8 Tributo is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V-8 engine with 710 hp (522 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission. This car was not purchased new, it had 3,000 miles on the odometer.

How Ferrari will react to this video remains to be seen.

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).
