Rent Ferrari F8 2022 in Dubai

We rent the Ferrari F8 2022 across Dubai and bring it to your hotel, home or terminal, usually within one to two hours of booking. Before you book one, settle the single decision this car forces on you. The F8 is a two-seat coupe built around one thing, its twin-turbo V8, and it does that one thing better than almost anything near the price. It carries no one else and almost nothing. So the question this page answers is straightforward. Do you want the drive, the noise and the badge for a day or a weekend, or do you actually need a car that seats people and swallows bags?

The twin-turbo V8 is the reason to book

The F8 runs a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, 3,902 cc, making 710 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Ferrari lists that power as 720 in metric PS, so if you saw 720 on the listing, it's the same engine. This is the last of Ferrari's V8s before the brand switched to the hybrid 296, and that matters to the people who book it. It's a proper turbocharged V8 with a hard, metallic top end, and it spins to 8,000 rpm before it shifts.

The numbers are silly for a public road. Zero to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, a top speed of 340 km/h, none of which you will use here. What you feel on Sheikh Zayed Road is the mid-range. Ask for an overtake and the car is past the gap before you have finished thinking about it. Rear-wheel drive and this much power means it deserves respect, so treat wet marble ramps, painted lines and hard throttle in the first cold minutes with care. On sand it is useless and will get stuck and scraped, so keep it on tarmac. This is a road car for the road, not the desert.

Two seats, a small frunk, and a nose that needs the lift

Be honest about space before you book, because the F8 has almost none. There are two seats and no back row, so it is you and one passenger and that is the end of it. Luggage goes in the front trunk under the nose, about 200 litres, which takes a soft holdall and a backpack rather than a hard suitcase. For a DXB or DWC run with real cases this is the wrong car, and that is not a fault. It is the deal you accept when you rent one.

The nose is the other daily catch. The F8 sits very low, and steep mall ramps, tower car-park entries and the sharper speed bumps around town will catch the front lip if you take them flat. These cars carry a front-axle lift that raises the nose at low speed for exactly that, so ask whether the one you are booking has it fitted and use it every time. Parking itself is fine once you are used to the width, since the car is short and you can see out forward. You just take tight bays slowly.

A tight cabin in Dubai heat

The cabin wraps close around two people, with a low roofline and a lot of glass, so it bakes fast when it is parked in a Dubai July. The first minute after you climb back in at a midday car park is the rough one. Once you are moving the air conditioning has very little space to cool, so it pulls the temperature down quickly. There are no rear vents because there is no rear seat, and you will not miss them. If you leave it out in summer, a sun shade across the windscreen is worth the two minutes it takes.

The inside is where the money shows, snug and built around the driver, and it feels like an occasion every time you drop into the seat. For most renters that feeling is the whole reason for taking it a full day rather than an hour.

Who should rent it, and who should size up

Rent the Ferrari F8 2022 if there are one or two of you, you are travelling light, and you want the supercar day: the noise, the badge and a V8 worth driving before Ferrari stopped building them. For a birthday, a weekend or a photo run, little else at this level makes the same impression outside a hotel.

Two groups should look elsewhere. If you need to carry a third person or a real suitcase, the F8 simply cannot, and a super-SUV like a Urus gives you a similar badge with five seats and a boot. If you want the drama without the low, firm, focused edge, a grand tourer will be easier to live with across a week.

A few terms to plan for. This is the highest-value car on the fleet, so it is rented against a substantial refundable deposit rather than a no-deposit deal, and you need to be at least 25 to take the keys. The daily allowance is 250 km, then 0.5 dirhams for each extra kilometre, and the 78-litre tank wants premium fuel and drains fast when you are leaning on it. Salik tolls and any RTA fines come back to you, and belts stay mandatory in both seats. Book it for the engine and the occasion. Go in clear that it seats two, carries almost nothing, and is completely worth it for the right week.
