Mansory has been a bit quieter than usual on social media these past few weeks, but that doesn't mean that they haven't ruined tuned any cars. In fact, they have recently rolled out a few fresh creations, including the Ferrari F8 Spider pictured below.
Looking as controversial as their previous takes on this particular model, the project is presented in white with a few black accents and some red touches here and there. Overall, the choice of colors is not bad at all, but the add-ons all over make it look very kitschy.

Each and every component that Mansory added to this Ferrari F8 Spider has a forged carbon look. This includes the pieces next to the front air intakes, the apron with side blades, attachments above the main clusters, the hood add-on, new side mirror casings, and additional trim on the sides. It features side skirt attachments with the same look, a wing at the rear, a new diffuser with an F1-like brake light incorporated in the middle, and several other things. The wheels are also new and spin around the red calipers.

Rather strangely, the tuner did not put the spotlight on the cabin, which probably means they haven't done much to it. Zooming in on certain images reveals that black is the overall hue of the interior, with a few red accents, like those on the seatbelts, and what appears to be a 12 o'clock marker on the steering wheel in the colors of the Italian flag. It seems that the headrests sport Mansory's signature, and we reckon their logo is likely present on other components, maybe on the steering wheel, center console, dashboard, and floor mats, but that's our two cents.

According to the social media post embedded below, this F8 Spider also has a power boost in addition to the add-ons, which are part of what Mansory calls a “soft kit," and some interior tweaks. The tuner claims the output has gone up to 880 ps (868 hp/647 kW), and the torque now stands at 960 Nm (708 lb-ft). This apparently allows the Italian supercar to sprint to one hundred kilometers per hour (62 mph) in just 2.6 seconds.

But what does this mean compared to the stock variant? Well, that would be three-tenths faster to 100 kilometers per hour, or at least that's what Mansory says anyway. The F8 Spider normally takes 2.9 seconds for the sprint and tops out at 340 kph or 211 mph. Its twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 produces 720 ps (710 hp/530 kW) and no less than 770 Nm (568 lb-ft).

Curious if this open-top F8 was commissioned by one of their wealthy clients or if it is for sale? So are we, as they haven't said anything about it, though our money would be on the former.
