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.

Rare 1967 Ferrari Dino 206 S for sale

In 1966, Ferrari unveiled the sports prototype Dino 206 S. 50 homologated examples of this car were needed so that Ferrari could compete in the Sport 2.0 L Group 4 category. However, Ferrari only produced 18 examples and had to continue the competition in the Prototype 2.0-liter class instead. Only two examples were fitted with the most powerful Tipo 233 engine and one of them, the 1967 Ferrari Dino 206 S, is for sale.

This car is in good condition and has chassis number 82. It was delivered to engineer Corrado Ferlain. Ferrari historian Marcel Massini researched the car’s history and discovered that it competed in several hill climbs between 1966 and 1967. After being serviced at the Ferrari factory in November 1968, the car changed hands several times before being purchased by collector Pierre Bardinon in 1979. Since then it has been part of some of the finest collections of Ferrari cars in the world. Jacques Setton bought the car in the 1980s and later sold it to a British collector. The Ferrari was then restored in Great Britain in 2003, after which it was transported to the USA.

The Ferrari Dino 206 S is powered by a 2.0L V6 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. In 2014, the car was restored at the Ferrari factory, where it received the Red Book certificate, which confirms the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox.

This very rare car will be auctioned between February 15th and 17th at RM Sotheby’s. The value of the car has not been estimated but is expected to reach seven figures.
