Exquisite Mansory customers now have a new option in their luxurious catalogue, this time sportier and more radical. The Germans once again demonstrate why they are called the kings of carbon fiber, this time in the Mansory F8XX Spider. The exclusive Ferrari F8 Tributo Spider already has a proposal that is difficult to match for those of Maranello.
It is not the first time that the Italian firm’s sports car has passed through the workshops of the German trainer who handles carbon fiber like no one else in the world. His preparations are unique, and a good account of this is the important catalog of creations that drive his customers crazy. Although the Ferrari F8 Tribute already passed by the headquarters of Mansory last year, this time the imagination has unfolded on the open roof variant.
the exclusive Ferrari F8 Tribute Spider It has been the last to pass to become one of the most luxurious, daring and perhaps ostentatious creations, especially on the inside. The Italian has said goodbye to the most conventional colors to wear a color difficult to find in the Maranello palette, and to what Mansory has dared. The lure «British Racing Green» finished with a matte finish contrasting with the yellow stripes that extend longitudinally from the carbon spoiler on the front bumper to the rear end.
The F8XX Spider is one of Mansory’s most luxurious creations
The daring has also come with a sportier touch, such as the decoration of the front doors, sporting in a generous size the same special name seen on board the coupé, “F8XX”. But what really catches the eye is the true deployment of carbon fiber in the aerodynamic packagewhich extends from the front air intakes, the headlight trims, the front corner fenders to the side skirts with special channels to guide the air and avoid turbulence.
The air intakes behind the doors and practically the entire rear have this exclusive material in sight, as are the door handles. The alloy wheels are forged, 21-inch front and 22-inch rear. If on the outside it impresses, inside it is no less. The entire dashboard, steering wheel and seats included, are covered in green leather, although in a much more vivid tone than the exterior, and reproducing the yellow color on the edges of air vents, floor mats, seat belts and door panel handles.
The opportunity was not to be missed, and Mansory has also tweaked the powerful 4.0-litre V8 engine with more punch, especially for those owners for whom 720 peak horsepower just isn’t enough. A new exhaust system and a turbocharger are sufficient to bring this specification up to the 880 hp and maximum torque from 770 Nm to 960 Nm. An increase of no less than 160 hp that will translate into brutal performance, but of which Mansory, as usual, keeps secret as the price of this Mansory F8XX Spider.
