FormaCar: Watch the Ferrari F8 Spider hit top acceleration

Watch the Ferrari F8 Spider hit top acceleration

25-05-2023 17:00

Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds has posted a video on YouTube dedicated to a straight-line acceleration test of an F8 Spider.

According to its passport spec, the open-topped Ferrari can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from standstill in 2.9 seconds and eventually reach 338 km/h (210 mph). This is made possible thanks to a 3.9-liter V8 pushing 720 PS (710 hp / 530 kW) to the wheels through a seven-speed A/T.

The car in the video is a 2021 F8 Spider, and the test area is a restricted-access racetrack at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The runway is slightly longer than 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) and features a surface made of tarmac – a mixture of concrete, asphalt and tar yielding exceptional tire grip.

Check out the video to see how well the Ferrari performed or read on for spoilers. If you just wanted to know how fast the car was in the end, the answer is 335.45 km/h (208.44 mph).
