It's been over a month since we last covered a Liberty Walk build. The previous one was a bold Lamborghini Huracan on custom wheels, and their latest is a minty-fresh Ferrari F8 Tributo.
Not to be confused with the brand-new F80 hypercar, which acts as the successor to the iconic LaFerrari, boasting a whopping 1,183 horsepower combined from its 3.0L V6 and three electric motors, the Ferrari F8 replaced the 488 and was dropped completely last year.
Production of the F8 Tributo and F8 Spider ended in 2023. Powering it was a 3.9-liter V8 with forced induction. The engine pumped out 710 brake horsepower (720 ps/530 kW), and the thrust was rated at 568 pound-foot (770 Nm). The Prancing Horse claims the fixed-roof model took 2.9 seconds to reach 62 mph (100 kph), with the open-top variant being equally fast. At 211 mph (340 kph), the top speed was identical in both models.
Anyone who is slightly familiar with Liberty Walk's projects knows that the Japanese tuner doesn't offer power boosts. In fact, their work is usually limited to all kinds of adaptations of its widebody kits, joined by air suspensions and fresh wheels. The usual decals normally round off the makeovers, and this Ferrari F8 Tributo follows this exact same recipe.

Thus, it features bolt-on fender flares above each wheel, new side skirt attachments, and a chunky apron attached to the bumper that makes the Italian supercar look even sportier. Further back, it has an integrated ducktail spoiler and what appears to be a new diffuser with more pronounced fins.
One may be tempted to think that the front and rear bumpers also came from the tuner's portfolio, but they didn't, as they are still OEM components. This makes it quite easy to revert the vehicle back to its original shape, though that rarely happens, as Liberty Walk's body kits tend to cost a lot of money, and you can spot a ride featuring the company's pieces from far away.
That light blue look is probably a wrap and it is joined by several black accents and a few decals. The wheels are also black and they are brand new. Spinning above the yellow brake calipers, the larger alloys still fit below the arches even with the reworked suspension. Still, the latter is air adjustable in all likelihood and the driver must lift the body in order to drive away.
Images of this impressive build that seems to be all-show with no extra-go were shared on social media earlier this week by Liberty Walk's founder and appear to have been taken during an automotive event in the Land of the Rising Sun. Kudos to this company for creating another masterpiece, and I hope you won't judge me for liking such rides, but we cannot all be perfect, can we?
