Driven: 2022 Ferrari F8 Spider Is The Ultimate Used Supercar

With killer looks, Ferrari's most power-dense V8 ever (at the time of release), and the ability to switch from refined road user to screaming race car with the turn of the Manattino dial, the F8 is arguably the perfect supercar. It's a recipe that Maranello has been perfecting over decades, and as we reach the end of the ICE age, Ferrari has delivered something extra special in a segment that is bloated with exceptional exotica.

We were 99% sure the 2022 Ferrari F8 Spider would live up to its reputation, but after spending a couple of days with the droptop deity in New Jersey, we now know for sure.

There is a small problem with buying this car, however. In April, Ferrari announced that "the order intake for the F8 Tributo and F8 Spider has been suspended due to the volume of orders received."

In short, that means unless you can convince someone to part with their build slot, you'll have to peruse the used car market, and we know what that's like at the moment. A quick look on our Used Cars section and the cheapest we could find is a 2021 model for $499,900 with average prices hovering around $600,000 - that's double the F8 Spider's base price.

You might want to wait for prices to come down (which could take a while) or buy one now, have some fun for a few months, and sell it for a small loss. Either way, there's a lot to like about the F8.

This is a Ferrari, so we have to start with the engine. Every supercar is fast these days, and the F8 is crazy fast. Every supercar also has silly power figures - and with 710 horsepower on tap - the F8 is just as guilty. But where Ferrari can't be matched is the throttle response at any speed. It can match a naturally-aspirated car at 2,000 rpm, instantly pinning you back with the squeeze of the throttle.
