In heavy traffic or at stoplights the F8’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. The Chiron doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.
Environmental Friendliness
In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Ferrari F8 higher (3 out of 10) than the Bugatti Chiron (1). This means the F8 produces up to 22.5 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Chiron every 15,000 miles.
Tires and Wheels
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 Chiron; it requires you to depend on roadside assistance and your vehicle will have to be towed.
Suspension and Handling
For better maneuverability, the F8’s turning circle is 11.1 feet tighter than the Chiron’s (38.7 feet vs. 49.8 feet).
Chassis
The Ferrari F8 may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1050 to 1200 pounds less than the Bugatti Chiron.
The design of the Ferrari F8 amounts to more than styling. The F8 has an aerodynamic coefficient of drag of .292 Cd. That is significantly lower than the Chiron (.39). A more efficient exterior helps the F8 go faster and keeps the interior quieter. It also helps the F8 get better fuel mileage.
The F8’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The Chiron doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.
Cargo Capacity
The F8 Tributo has a much larger trunk than the Chiron (7.1 vs. 2 cubic feet).
Ergonomics
The F8’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Chiron’s
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 Chiron doesn’t offer headlight washers.
The F8’s standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. The Chiron doesn’t offer dual zone air conditioning.
Standard smartphone integration for the F8 allows the driver and passengers access to select programs on their smartphones, including reading text messages aloud, playing internet radio stations and other connected activities without taking their eyes off the road or their hands from the wheel. The Chiron doesn’t offer factory integrated smartphone program access.
Model Availability
The Ferrari F8 comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Bugatti Chiron isn’t available as a convertible.
