This black Ferrari F8 Tributo with a blue interior is a Prometheus Exotics rental based in Los Angeles, the one F8 in our fleet that is not red. The same 710 horsepower V8 and 2.9 second sixty sit under a spec an owner requests, booked by a renter who wants the F8 to read as a deliberate choice at a Beverly Hills valet stand.
The 3.9 liter twin turbo V8 behind you makes 710 horsepower with almost no lag, because Ferrari maps torque by gear so the surge keeps building all the way to an 8,000 rpm limiter instead of flattening out early. Sixty arrives in 2.9 seconds through the rear wheels alone. The steering is unusually quick and takes the first few corners to trust, then the car shrinks around you. Take it up Angeles Crest Highway once traffic clears and the throttle answers the way the number promises, with no gap between asking and getting it. In town the same engine drops to a murmur, so the drive down from the hills is as easy as the climb up was fast.
Black over blue is the F8 combination that photographs as restraint rather than display. The black body absorbs light instead of throwing it back, so it reads as shape and stance rather than colour, and the blue interior is the detail that rewards someone who opens the door rather than just looks at the car from the curb. Shoot it in a Beverly Hills parking structure at dusk, where the black holds the shadow and the blue seat catches whatever light is left. Get low on the rear three quarter for the quad tail lights, and open the frunk for the carbon weave against black paint.
We run four F8s and three of them are red. This is the one that is not. If the brief is simply a Ferrari and the colour does not matter, book one of the red Tributos or the Spider in Orange County. If you want the F8 that reads as a deliberate choice rather than the expected one, this black over blue car is the answer, and it is based in Los Angeles rather than Orange County, which matters if your day is built around Sunset, Mulholland or a studio lot rather than the coast. Same engine, same numbers, a different reason to book it.
This is the F8 Tributo, the coupe rather than the Spider, finished in black over a blue interior, one of the rarer colour combinations Ferrari built for this car. Underneath, a 3.9 liter twin turbo V8 making 710 horsepower and 568 lb ft, sent to the rear wheels only through a 7 speed dual clutch gearbox. The car has the S Duct through the nose, quad tail lights and a carbon lined frunk as part of every Tributo's design, along with standard carbon ceramic brakes and magnetorheological dampers with a bumpy road setting that softens them independent of the drive mode.
