Watch A McLaren 765LT Leave A Ferrari F8 Tributo For Dead

The Ferrari F8 Tributo is a very quick car, but it can’t hold a candle to the McLaren 765LT in a straight line.

In order to show the difference between the two supercars, the guys over at Hennessey Performance recently headed to the drag strip with both a F8 Tributo and a 765LT. Sure, the F8 Tributo isn’t a direct rival to the 765LT, but until a hardcore version hits the market, it remains Maranello’s closest competitor to the McLaren.

In the first race, the 765LT needed just 9.532 seconds to sprint down the quarter-mile, at a trap speed of 147.54 mph. By comparison, the F8 Tributo took 10.139 seconds with a trap speed of 139.44 mph. The second race delivered very similar results, with the 765LT recording a 9.571-second quarter mile at 145.63 mph whereas the F8 Tributo set a 10.119-second run at exactly 139 mph.

It only takes a quick look at the spec sheets of both cars to understand why the 765LT is so much quicker. Slotted beneath the sexy bodywork of the Ferrari is a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 710 hp and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. This engine is coupled to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission sending power to the rear wheels, while the car tips the scales at 3,164 lbs (1,435 kg).

By comparison, the McLaren features a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing a claimed 755 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It too uses a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive, but weighs less than the Ferrari at 2,952 lbs (1,339 kg). Moreover, dyno runs suggest that the 765LT could actually be producing closer to 900 hp at the crank.

Ferrari F8 Tributo Amped Up With 3D-Printed Body Kit

Aftermarket tuning specialist 1016 Industries has previewed the 3D-printed bodykit it is developing for the Ferrari F8 Tributo.

The tuner dubs the bodykit the ‘Rampante’ and it starts at the front end with a new carbon fiber lip spoiler that’s complemented by carbon intake vents. There are also new carbon headlight trimmings and carbon on the hood.

Alterations continue along the sides and include 3D-printed skirts, while the rear end has undergone the most obvious changes with a bespoke diffuser, lip spoiler, and J-shaped vents. Complementing the body modifications will be a new exhaust with X pipes and downpipes from 1016.

The parts of this bodykit, which is priced at $46,640, aren’t just for looks, though; they are also functional. For example, the headlight vents improve airflow while a suction duct in the middle of the front lip directs air under the body. 1016 Industries has also ensured that the individual parts of the kit fit on the OEM housings and fitments to eliminate the need to cut or drill the original bodywork.

“The Ferrari F8 is an iconic vehicle that celebrates automotive excellence and prestige, and we knew we needed to debut our brand-new permanent 3D printed carbon fiber kit for this special project,” chief executive of 1016 Industries, Peter Northrop, said. “As we continuously look for innovative design ideas, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to explore the true capabilities of turning a 3D print into a permanent kit available to our customers. The 1016 Industries F8 is made for automotive enthusiasts looking to put a completely unique spin on this elite supercar.”
