Carbon Engine Cover

The Capristo Carbon Tailgate with Air Vents and Safety Disc (Article No. 03FE 123 10 001) is a high-performance engine cover designed to replace the factory unit on the Ferrari F8 Tributo and Spider. This component is engineered to bridge the gap between street elegance and motorsport utility, offering a dramatic visual transformation while drastically improving the thermal management of the 3.9L Twin-Turbo V8.

Performance & Stance

• Advanced Cooling: The tailgate features integrated, high-volume air vents that allow heat to escape the engine bay more efficiently. This is critical for maintaining peak performance during spirited driving or track sessions where "heat soak" can impact turbocharger efficiency.

• The "Pista" Aesthetic: By replacing the standard solid cover with a ventilated carbon fiber architecture and a large glass safety disc, the F8 gains a transparent view of the engine bay similar to the limited-run 488 Pista or the SF90.

• Lightweight Construction: Manufactured using Capristo's proprietary autoclave process, the carbon fiber structure provides immense rigidity while significantly reducing the weight of the rear decklid compared to OEM materials.

Compatibility

• Article No. 03FE 123 10 001 (Supplied as a Raw Carbon article).

• Model Range: Specifically designed for the Ferrari F8 Tributo and Ferrari F8 Spider.

• GPS Integration: The design includes provisions to reuse the original factory GPS module and associated hardware, ensuring no loss of vehicle functionality or electronic errors.

Engineering & Material Configurations

• Raw Finish for Customization: This specific part is supplied as a "Raw" article with an untreated carbon surface. This allows for total customization: the outer contours can be perfectly color-matched to your Ferrari's paint, while leaving the inner sections in exposed carbon fiber.

• Type L Carbon Weave: Capristo utilizes the industry-standard Type L weave, which is identical to the pattern used in Ferrari’s factory carbon fiber program, ensuring 100% visual harmony with OEM interior or exterior trim.

• Safety Disc: The integrated glass "safety disc" is high-temperature resistant, providing a crystal-clear, durable window into the heart of the vehicle.

Installation

• Precision Fitment: Because this is a structural body panel, the outer contour of the tailgate must be professionally adapted to the individual vehicle to achieve uniform gap dimensions and a factory-quality seal.

• Painting Required: As a raw carbon part, professional paint preparation and final lacquering/painting must be carried out independently to protect the material and match the vehicle's aesthetic.

• Professional Recommendation: Due to the complexity of the hinges, glass mounting, and the need for bodywork adjustment, installation by an authorized Capristo partner or specialized coachbuilder is mandatory.
