LITRE MONSTER
THE 3902CC, twin-turbo V8
powering the F8 Tributo finds
its roots with the Pista, not
the 488 GTB. The air intakes,
derived from the Challenge
racecar, have been moved to
either side of the blown rear
spoiler, directly connecting to
the intake plenums. There’s
a new cam profile, as well as
specific valves and springs.
The pistons and cylinder
heads have been strengthened
while the DLC-coated piston
pins are derived from F1.
The powertrain is down 18kg
thanks to Inconel exhaust
manifolds, titanium con rods
and a lighter crankshaft/
flywheel. Redline is 8000rpm.
