2021 | Ferrari F8 Spider
Seller's Introduction
Sotheby’s Motorsport is proud to offer the Gilstrap Collection, a selection of vehicles from the private garage of renowned automotive collector Mr. James Gilstrap. These vehicles represent the pinnacle of exotic and luxury motoring, offered exclusively here at Sotheby’s Motorsport.
Overview
Introduced for model year 2020, the F8 Tributo paid homage to decades of V8 development prior. From Ferrari's mid-engine hero cars of the 1970s and 80s, steady performance advancements and clear continuity in styling saw the 488 GTB's successor ready to assume its post. To wide acclaim, the F8's Tributo coupe and roofless Spider variants received twin-turbocharged 3.9L power on par with the outgoing track-ready 488 Pista.
Lighter and benefitting from S-Duct slip-streamed aero efficiencies, the new car's 211mph top speed and blistering acceleration came at no expense to cabin comforts. Bespoke Italian coachwork allowed high-optioning and unparalleled preference in customization. Multimedia Bluetooth-enabled infotainment and dual-zone climate control made the sports car's interior amenable in all seasons. Tech integrations, including FDE+ Dynamic Enhancer, magnetorheological suspension, and Side Slip Angle Control, served both speed and all-road versatility.
Presented here in Blu Corsa over Crema, this 2021 Ferrari F8 Spider offers top-spec twin-turbo bliss. Loads of configured options elevate an over-the-top spec. Inside, a carbon fiber driver zone + LEDS, full electric Daytona-style seats with Cavallino headrest embroidery, and colored safety belts welcome passengers with sporting luxury. Late-model functional tech includes an AFS headlight system, back radar, and advanced front driving camera with front/rear parking sensors. This car's desirable factory suspension lifter also adds in-town ease of use. Scuderia Ferrari Shields and 20" forged diamond wheels over carbon ceramic brakes with yellow calipers accent the titanium exhaust pipes. High-grip Pirelli P Zero tires contact the road throughout this Spider's 8,000rpm rev range. The car was involved in an accident reportedly at the dealership prior to delivery in October 2022, and was subsequently extensively repaired at an expense of over $100k before acceptance by the Gilstrap Collection. For more details, please see the included service records in the "Documents" Gallery below. A Carfax report, clean title, and third-party inspection report accompany the sale of this exceptional Ferrari—now showing just 1,360 miles.
