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).

The RM UP-01 Ferrari is a 1.75mm thick watch

We all know that watches can come in all sizes and shapes, and some can cost a fortune. Well this is one of them. It is an ultra-thin watch RM UP-01 Ferrari, which is the thinnest watch in the world, and it was made by the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Richard Mille in cooperation with Ferrari.

The RM UP-01 Ferrari is a 1.75mm thick watch

The watch has a titanium balance wheel of variable inertia, which allowed the thickness to be reduced to only 1.75 mm without losing function and functionality. Mille assembled the entire mechanism, which is only 1.18 mm thick, into the case, unlike the usual process where the back of the case serves as the base plate.

A modern shape and a highly precise mechanism adorn this watch suitable to be worn on all occasions. The time indicator is located in the middle of the upper half, while the function selector is located on the left side. Ferrari’s Prancing Horse is located on the right side of the lower half of the case. Around both crowns are two black ceramic inserts that protect the frame from friction and help with water resistance.

The watch will be produced in a limited number (150) and will cost $1,888,000.

2023 Ferrari LMH is getting ready for the new WEC season

After half a century, Ferrari returns to the top class of the WEC (World Endurance Championship). The most famous race of this competition is the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 2023 Ferrari LMH prototype is currently in the final testing phase.

The news about the new Ferrari LMH prototype was confirmed at the beginning of the year by the head of Ferrari Attività Sportive GT, Antonello Coletta, saying that this is a big step forward for Ferrari, which will compete in the LMH class from 2023. Testing is taking place at the Fiorano track , and published photos of the camouflaged car don’t show much.

An experienced AF Corse team will be in charge of Ferrari’s LMH prototypes. “We are proud of this announcement. It is the crowning of a dream and recognition of the great effort made over the years. Our partnership with Ferrari is a winning one that began in 2006, and I am delighted to continue it in the LMH project. We have immediately kicked off with great enthusiasm aiming to raise the bar even further and to be ready for this new challenge,” said AF Corse team owner Amato Ferrari.

When it comes to the powertrain, it is known that the car will be a hybrid. Ferrari did not release more information. Thus, Ferrari will join Toyota and Peugeot, which have announced their participation in the top class of the WEC. Ferrari hopes that LMH will have the same success as the F430 GT2, which won all three titles in its debut season (team, drivers and constructors).
