The Ferrari F8 Tributo replaced the 488 GTB in 2019 — same Maranello F154 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, lifted to 720 CV (the highest factory output of any Ferrari V8 turbo at launch), in a body that took aerodynamic cues from the 488 Pista. The F8 Spider followed for the convertible market in 2020. Both cars stayed in production through 2022 before the 296 GTB took over the V6 hybrid mid-engine slot. F8XX is Mansory's most aggressive build for either car: a +50 mm-per-side widebody with carbon fender flares, a race-flap diffuser, an Inconel exhaust and a tune that lifts the V8 to roughly 880 PS.
This page covers the full F8XX widebody programme. For the lighter aero-only build see the Mansory F8 Soft Kit.
F8XX is supplied as a coordinated widebody package. Every panel is engineered against the F8's aerodynamic geometry — the front splitter slot lines up with the OEM cooling, the side scoops keep the V8's intercooler routing clear, and the diffuser race-flap set is sized for the F8's underbody floor.

F8XX panels come off the autoclave in pre-preg carbon, lacquered over visible weave or primed for body-colour paint. Most builds run a mix — visible weave on the bonnet vents, race flaps and rear wing; body-colour paint on the bumpers and fender flares so the car still reads as a Ferrari from a distance. The carbon construction matters here for two reasons. First, weight: the F8 is already a light car (roughly 1330 kg dry), and replacing painted aluminium bumpers and a steel bonnet with carbon nets a useful drop in unsprung weight forward of the firewall. Second, downforce: Mansory ran CFD on the bumper, the wing and the diffuser as a coordinated set, and the race flaps in the rear are not cosmetic — they trim flow under the floor at speed.
F8XX ships with forged YN.5 center-lock wheels in 20″ front and 21″ rear, sized to take 255/30 R20 fronts and 325/25 R21 rears — the wider rubber is specifically what the +50 mm widebody fenders make room for. Finishes run from machined silver to gloss black to Mansory yellow-lip; the wider catalogue is in the Hodoor forged wheels collection.
The Inconel exhaust plus ECU recalibration is the signature performance upgrade: factory 720 CV (V8 3.9 TT) climbs to roughly 880 PS / 920 Nm. The work is engine-management and exhaust only — no internal changes to the F154 V8, no new turbos, no displacement change. The optional figure (~€12,000 over the body kit, depending on configuration) is the way most owners spec F8XX; a small minority of customers take the body kit alone and run the OEM exhaust. Both configurations are valid — the body kit on its own is the F8XX visual programme; the body kit plus exhaust and ECU is the F8XX as Mansory intends it.
F8XX is engineered for the Ferrari F8 Tributo (2019–2022) and the F8 Spider (2020–2022). The Coupe and Spider share the same bumper, bonnet, fender and door geometry; only the engine cover changes between the two body styles. Install is a body-shop project of 60 to 90 hours at a Ferrari-experienced shop — longer than a soft-kit install because the fender flares need to be bonded and re-aligned, the door gaps re-set against the new geometry, and the diffuser cut to the OEM underbody floor. The donor car comes off the road for the duration. Plan a single tightly-scheduled week with the body shop and a separate day for the wheel install and exhaust commissioning.
F8XX sits in the middle of Mansory's modern Ferrari catalogue — more aggressive than the Soft Kits, less extreme than some of the limited-run Lamborghini work that shares its tooling vendor:

The F8 Tributo is one of the last and best Ferrari V8 turbo cars before the 296's hybrid V6 took over the brief. F8XX is the build that takes the F8 from the position it shipped from Maranello — supercar that respects road-going usability — and pushes it into a different category. Three things change: the stance, because +50 mm of body width per side reads as a different car from twenty metres away; the rear, because the race flaps and the high-mount wing put the car visually closer to a Ferrari Challenge race car than to a Tributo; and the V8, because 880 PS through the OEM dual-clutch transaxle is genuinely meaningful on a 1330 kg dry-weight platform. The catch is irreversibility: F8XX is a build, not a kit. The fender flares are bonded; once the work is done the F8 is an F8XX permanently, or at least until the next body shop strips it back to OEM panels.
F8 Tributo demand was concentrated in the GCC, China and the United States, with Hong Kong and Singapore the strongest right-hand-drive corridors. F8XX builds follow the same map.
F8XX is normally ordered as a full set because partial builds (front-only, rear-only) tend to read visually unfinished against the +50 mm fender flares. That said, every part — fenders, bumper, race-flap set, rear wing, exhaust — has its own SKU. Standard production from the Mansory workshop is six to eight weeks; the Inconel exhaust queue is the longest single component, and the ECU calibration is done after the exhaust is installed on the car (not before shipping). We can pair the body kit, wheels and exhaust into a single freight booking if the timeline works for you. Email [email protected] with your VIN and intended spec (Coupe or Spider, body-only or body + exhaust + tune) and we will quote a landed price including paint and install referrals at the destination shop. For one-off carbon panels, a unique livery, or interior re-trim work to match see the Custom Design & Build service. New Mansory Ferrari programmes go up on the Hodoor Mansory blog.
F8XX vs F8 Soft Kit — what is the practical difference?
Soft Kit is bolt-on carbon at factory body width — same wheels, same arches as a stock F8. F8XX is +50 mm/side widebody fender flares with race flaps and the option of the 880 PS exhaust + ECU package. Soft Kit installs in 20–30 hours; F8XX needs 60–90 hours of body-shop time and is permanent.
Will the kit fit my F8 Spider?
Yes. The Spider shares all front, side and rear panels with the Coupe; only the engine cover differs to clear the folding hardtop. F8XX panels are sourced for both body styles; we confirm SKUs against your VIN before shipping.
How is the 880 PS achieved — is it just an ECU flash?
No. The 880 PS figure is the factory 720 CV plus the full Mansory Inconel exhaust system (manifolds and downpipes) plus an ECU recalibration matched to the exhaust. ECU alone gets a smaller delta. The internals of the F154 V8 are not modified.
Do the race flaps actually do anything aerodynamically?
Yes — they manage flow under the rear floor at speed and trim the high-speed balance against the rear wing. The four-piece set is supplied left-and-right and is part of the rear-bumper module, not a stick-on accessory.
Can I run F8XX wheels on a stock-bodied F8?
Not the 21″ rear at 12″ wide — it needs the +50 mm fender flare to clear the tyre. The 20″ fronts can be configured with a different offset to fit a stock-bodied F8, but at that point the better starting point is the F8 Soft Kit's wheel option.
Does the install affect Ferrari warranty?
The Coupe and Spider in scope (2019–2022) are typically out of factory warranty by the time an F8XX build starts. If the donor car is still inside warranty, talk to the local Ferrari dealer before installing the body kit — carbon panel substitution and exhaust changes are not warranty-friendly even outside the engine bay.
What is the lead time on the Inconel exhaust?
Six to eight weeks from order at peak; sometimes faster if Mansory has stock for the F154 V8 application. The body kit usually arrives first; the exhaust ships as soon as it leaves the Mansory line.
