The previous Mansory-signed car we covered was a very nice Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB shared online by RDB LA, yet the latest is brash. In fact, some Ferrari purists would find it tricky to keep their meals in upon looking at this modified F8 Spider.
Do you have some turquoise-blocking eyewear around? Put it on, as it's time to speak about the so-called Mansory F8XX Spider Tempesta Turchese. The Italian supercar has a bi-tone look with a gradient that runs from turquoise at the rear to white at the front. As if that wasn't enough, racing stripes in the same hues run across the vehicle's length.
Mansory could not refrain from applying a bold body kit to this Ferrari F8 Spider, which comprises the whiskers-like pieces at the front, a new chin spoiler, side skirts, mirror caps, a dual wing at the rear, a big diffuser, and several other elements. The 9x21-inch front and 12x21-inch rear wheels and special logos complete the makeover on the outside.
You may want to keep the turquoise-blocking eyewear for a bit longer, as it's now time to delve into the cockpit, which features new leather upholstery in the aforementioned color. The Italian flag motif is also on deck, the steering wheel was tweaked, and the door cards are new. Mansory's name and the F8XX logo are visible throughout the interior.

Like the tuner's previous takes on the Ferrari F8, the F8XX Spider Tempesta Turchese also benefits from a power boost. The 3.9-liter V8 turbocharged engine has been massaged to deliver 708 pound-feet (960 Nm) of torque and 868 horsepower (860 ps/647 kW). Mansory claims the 0 to 62 mph (100 kph) acceleration takes just 2.6 seconds and the top speed is 220 miles per hour (354 kph).
By comparison, the stock Ferrari F8 Spider is three-tenths of a second slower from zero to sixty-two mph and has a nine miles per hour (14 kph) higher top speed. The eight-banger produces 568 pound-foot (770 Nm) of torque and 710 horsepower (720 ps/530 kW) in the standard F8 Spider.
Mansory's kitschy Ferrari F8 Spider is a bespoke creation, so the chances of encountering it in the open are close to zero. This is the only positive aspect of this build as far as this writer is concerned. Well, this and the fact that it rocks more power from the modified V8 motor, as it is always great to have some extra oomph on tap. But you don't have to agree with the kitschy part of this story, as we’ll still be friends if you like the Mansory F8XX Spider Tempesta Turchese. After all, it is an exotic model that goes like stink and stands out like a sore thumb.
