Compare the2022 Ferrari F8VS 2022 Porsche 911

Using vehicle speed sensors and seat sensors, smart airbags in the F8 deploy with different levels of force or don’t deploy at all to help better protect passengers of all sizes in different collisions. The F8’s side airbags will shut off if a child is leaning against the door. The 911’s side airbags don’t have smart features and will always deploy full force.

The F8 has standard four wheel antilock disc brakes for quicker stops and controlled steering ability, especially under poor traction conditions. Antilock brakes cost extra on the Porsche 911.

Both the F8 and the 911 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights, rear parking sensors and available rearview cameras.

The F8 comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The 911’s 50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the F8 for 6 years and -10,000 miles longer than Porsche pays for maintenance for the 911 (7/unlimited vs. 1/10,000).

The F8 has 3.7 gallons more fuel capacity than the 911’s standard fuel tank (20.6 vs. 16.9 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

The F8 offers an optional space-saver spare tire so you can replace a flat tire and drive to have the flat repaired or replaced. A spare tire isn’t available on the 911; it requires you to depend on roadside assistance and your vehicle will have to be towed.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the F8’s wheelbase is 7.8 inches longer than on the 911 (104.3 inches vs. 96.5 inches). The F8’s wheelbase is 7.6 inches longer than on the 911 GT3 (104.3 inches vs. 96.7 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the F8 is 3.4 inches wider in the front and 3.2 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the 911.

The F8’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The 911 doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.

With its coupe body style and remote trunk release lockout, the F8 offers cargo security. The 911’s non-lockable folding seat defeats cargo security.

In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The F8 has standard headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The 911 doesn’t offer headlight washers.

The F8 was chosen as one of Automobile Magazine’s “All Stars” in 2016. The 911 has never been an “All Star.”
