FERRARI F8 TRIBUTO
LAUNCH IN SYDNEY
On Wednesday August 29th 2019, The Luxury

lucky 300 invitees who gathered at White Bay
Cruise Terminal for an immersive Ferrari experience
paying homage to the most powerful V8 in Ferrari history
and unveiling the Ferrari F8 Tributo for the first
time on Australian soil.
This all-encompassing event allowed guests to delve
deeper into Ferrari’s antiquity and see the progression
of its most influential engine over the years. Guests
were greeted by a custom red light installation leading
them into the concealed ‘birdcage’. Soon after,
Herbert Appleroth Chief Executive Officer for Ferrari
Australasia, addressed attendees. As the intensity
of the forthcoming reveal grew, guests welcomed the
commanding roar of the F8 engine; the curtains then
dropped unveiling the new Ferrari F8 Tributo.
“We are extremely proud to bring the much anticipated
Ferrari F8 Tributo to Australian shores. This vehicle
pays homage to our history. The Ferrari F8 Tributo
brings the exhilarating performance of the best 8-cylinder
in the world to all drivers, with unprecedented
handling and superior ride comfort.” Said Herbert Appleroth,
Chief Executive Officer of Ferrari Australasia.
A reveal like no other, the Ferrari F8 Tributo joined a
