[@williamlong2682]

Loved listening to your story about how Ferraris got you into cars. So many people see them purely as a status symbol, so it’s always nice to hear someone express appreciation for the hard work and passion that go into their aesthetics and engineering. Supercars weren’t what got me into cars personally, but it’s easy to see how that is the case for many others, like yourself. Love what you’re doin!

[@MilesPerHr]

That’s so kind of you to recognize and I completely agree. I appreciate your support for the channel and positive feedback!

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

I know, right? But it's to be expected. People can't help it because Ferrari's are so damn expensive they *have* to be a status symbol; given notable exceptions, your average car enthusiast can't buy one of these. But at the center of it these are really beautifully made pieces of engineering that's so much fun to drive.

[@aquaticbob7595]

Like you, my passion for cars began with Ferrari. Though not in real life, I enjoyed them through video games. I now have the special privilege of living with a couple of them and they really do live up to the hype. As an aside, all the euro demo cars I've driven the speedo is in KMH and the passenger screen is in MPH. My dealer had a demo car that they let me have for the day with my wife, and we fell in love with the car. Our F8 Spider is a great complimentary car to our 812 superfast, and it's probably my wife's favorite car. I really enjoyed your 812 review, and had to come see the F8 spider review now that I've had mine for a few months. The Michelin's are an option, and when I spec'd mine in 2021 it was more than a set would cost after it arrived so I passed. The one standard piece of carbon fiber is the dash insert that the HVAC screen is set in, running all the way to the passenger side. The oil gauge on the left screen is the oil pressure, not level. Though I'm sure it's been pointed out already, the start/stop and unlock button are above the rear view mirror next to where the cabin lights are. If I could put a Ferrari steering wheel in all of my cars I would, they are that awesome! Your review really touched on a lot of the highlights of the F8 spider, it's probably the best in the class overall. It's not the fastest, but it's silly fast. It's not going to grab as much attention, but it looks beautiful. It might not take a corner the fastest, but it's still going to set faster lap times than most drivers are capable of. It's not got the fanciest suspension, but it's the most comfortable. The one thing about the F8 spider is that we've noticed the lack of passenger space after 4-5 hours in the car. We prefer to take the 812 for longer drives, but that's kind of what it's for. The F8 rides a lot better than my 812, but the 812 ends up being more comfortable. And both of ours have the full electronic seats (extra adjustability and seat memory). Getting to live with an F8 spider is a real privilege and I make sure to go drive it at every opportunity.

[@onenine73_]

The button above the engine start/stop isn't to de-couple the suspension, it is to soften up the suspension and is more commonly known as 'bumpy road setting'

[@esshuchat6654]

For me f8 spider is more beautiful then bughati

[@josephaustin8067]

I love the sound of the Huracan’s v10 but this f8, the c8, & the 570/720s look so much better because of the convertible hard tops. Soft tops need to be a thing of the past. That fabric just cheapens the look of the cars.

[@iamnickmartin]

Gorgeous car!

[@thesneakertifosi]

the lock and unlock as well as the auto start-stop is on the ceiling near the rearview mirror

[@johnnysuschnik8628]

Way better looking than the Evo Spyder. I agree I would rather have the Spyder than the hard top. Same function but duality as a hard top and a convertible. Still love the hard top Huracan though, that awesome v10 sound. But I have always loved Ferrari. My most favorite, is the 288gto. Bucket list car for me. This and the sf 90 are the closest to the 288 for production in my opinion in all times. My second favorite is the Enzo. Thanks for the video.

I love this spec except for the wheels. A bit more carbon fiber (the side flaps at the air-intake) would do wonders. It's so much more beautiful than the 488.

[@ballinonabudget1130]

Lamborghini Evo Spyder is my favorite. Kind of biased cause I own one but the Ferrari is a very special machine as well. I don’t think a person would be going wrong with either.

Small pet peeve, but "penultimate" means "second to last." You're using it to mean like "ULTIMATE ultimate" lol

[@VeriStrawberi]

ya I noticed that :)

[@IanBlimey]

Having both this and a GT4 with PDK I can safely say that the Ferrari wins hands-down. The PDK is really good. The F8 'box is exceptional.

[@dylanw890]

Such a nice car! Despite it being faster than the 488 and the 458, I prefer the natural aspiration of the 458!

[@marknorton1999]

Well you need to get over the fact that normally aspirated engines aren’t available any more.

[@marknorton1999]

... yes, my comment for the pedants reading should have been qualified to say “not available for mid-engine V8 Ferrari’s any more”.

It's just "F8 Spider" by the way. There is no "Tributo" in the name :)

[@markorchard2272]

@joel abra Having worked at a high level in the FIAT group I can say with certainty, that it should be SpYder (Italian). It was only changed to Spider (English) by Ferrari Marketing as English speakers could not process 'SpYder'.

[@marknorton1999]

I can assure you it’s Spider. There is no letter “y” in the Italian alphabet and any use of letter is an imported word.

The New Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster is just as good, and is not as expensive as the F8, plus Aston Martin isn't as sniffy as Ferrari can be with its customers. But if you want one, to bad, they have all been sold.

Very nice review indeed! And yes, you did mispronounce the color name. 😄You got the "giallo" part right which is of course "yellow" in Italian. But the MO-dE-na part, as you called, it is actually named after the province where Ferraris are made which is Modena as in Maranello, Modena. Try saying "MODE-Ena".

So much incorrect information. Ceramic brakes are standard on this car.

Agreed .... and you don't need to gauge the revs on launch. You just put your foot on the brake and floor the gas. The car handles the revs. Otherwise, I'm not sure why you'd need a launch button.

[@davidjohnston2941]

Penultimate: Penultimate means “next to last.” Sometimes it is used erroneously as if it referred to something beyond ultimate, meaning “the very best,” but the prefix pen- means “almost.” Penultimate can seem like a superlative version of ultimate, but it isn't.
