Friday 21st of June marked the day the new Ferrari F8 Tributo made its official debut at an exclusive private preview in Johannesburg. The official Ferrari South African dealer, Scuderia hosted the event and in attendance was the CEO Mervyn Eagles who introduced the latest multi-award-winning Ferrari V8 Turbo engine model to the prancing horse family.
In honour of showcasing the F8 Tributo on South African soil, the official Ferrari dealer partnered with the Anne Van Dyke Cheetah Centre to commemorate another African icon, an icon that shares many attributes with that of the Ferrari F8 Tributo. “An African cheetah, officially named Tributo has been adopted by Scuderia South Africa to celebrate a likeness of beauty, performance, agility and of course, speed. Both the F8 Tributo and our cheetah, boast strong aesthetics, handle corners with precision and both can reach speeds of 0-100km/h in just under 3 seconds. As the official Ferrari dealer in South Africa we are proud to support and endorse the conservation of these rare and glorious creatures.” adds Eagles. “Today is all about celebrating excellence and African icons”
The Ferrari F8 Tributo will continue its roadshow throughout South Africa as it is revealed at the official dealers in Durban and Cape Town later this month.
