UNMATCHED CONTROL AT AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL

This beautifully configured Rosso Corsa Ferrari 488 GTB is available for immediate delivery.

The Ferrari 488 GTB represents a significant leap in performance and innovation over its predecessor, the 458 Italia, offering more power, improved aerodynamics, and a thoroughly refined driving experience. It is the first mid-engined Ferrari V8 to feature turbocharging since the legendary Ferrari F40, redefining the boundaries of both speed and control.

Engine & Performance

At the heart of the Ferrari 488 GTB is a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, part of Ferrari’s award-winning F154 engine family. This powerplant delivers 670 horsepower (492 kW) at 8,000 rpm and 760 Nm of torque at just 3,000 rpm in seventh gear. The turbocharging system ensures zero turbo lag, offering instant throttle response that feels just as direct and exhilarating as a naturally aspirated engine.

Compared to the 458 Italia, the 488 GTB boasts a 100-horsepower increase and over 200 Nm more torque, delivering faster acceleration and better mid-range performance.

Engine: 3.9L Twin-Turbo V8
Horsepower: 670 PS (661 hp) @ 8,000 rpm
Torque: 760 Nm (561 lb-ft) @ 3,000 rpm
Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch F1 gearbox
0-100 km/h (0-62 mph): 3.0 seconds
0-200 km/h: 8.3 seconds
Top Speed: 330 km/h (205 mph)

The 488 GTB is 0.6 seconds faster to 200 km/h than the 458 Italia, and with its improved aerodynamics and torque curve, it delivers relentless performance across the rev range.

Aerodynamics & Handling

The 488 GTB features a host of advanced aerodynamic innovations that not only enhance its performance but also make it more stable and predictable at high speeds. Key improvements include:

Front double splitter: Increases airflow efficiency and reduces drag.
Blown rear spoiler: Increases downforce without compromising drag.
Active aerodynamic flaps: Adjust dynamically to balance downforce and drag based on speed.
Underbody vortex generators: Improve airflow beneath the car for better stability.
Compared to the 458 Italia, the 488 GTB generates 50% more downforce while also reducing drag, thanks to these advanced aerodynamic solutions.

Chassis & Control Systems

The 488 GTB features an updated aluminum chassis that is both lighter and more rigid than its predecessor, enhancing agility and responsiveness. It also comes equipped with Ferrari’s latest electronic control systems to ensure exceptional handling in all conditions:

SSC2 (Side Slip Control 2): A sophisticated traction and stability control system that allows the driver to push the car to its limits while maintaining complete control.

E-Diff3 (Electronic Differential): Distributes torque more effectively to improve cornering performance.
F1-Trac: Optimizes traction in both high-performance and low-grip conditions.

Magnetorheological Suspension (SCM-E): Adjusts damping rates in real-time to improve ride quality and handling.
These systems make the 488 GTB more forgiving and easier to drive than the 458 Italia, even for less experienced drivers. The result is track-level performance that is also accessible on public roads.

Turbocharged vs. Naturally Aspirated

One of the biggest differences between the 488 GTB and the 458 Italia is the shift from a naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 to a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8. While some purists initially expressed concern about the loss of a naturally aspirated engine, Ferrari engineers ensured that the 488 GTB retained the iconic Ferrari soundtrack and throttle response.

The turbocharged engine in the 488 GTB delivers significantly more mid-range torque, making it more responsive and easier to drive fast in real-world conditions.

Interior & Technology

The interior of the 488 GTB is designed with the driver in mind. Every control is within easy reach, and the layout is inspired by Ferrari’s Formula 1 cockpits. The steering wheel features integrated controls for key functions, including the Manettino switch, which allows the driver to adjust the car’s settings to suit road and weather conditions.

Other notable interior features include:

Digital instrument cluster with customizable displays.
Carbon-fiber trim and high-quality leather upholstery.
Infotainment system with navigation and media controls.
Optional racing seats for enhanced support during spirited driving.
A Legacy of Excellence

The Ferrari 488 GTB builds on the legacy of the 458 Italia, taking everything that made its predecessor great and improving it. The result is a car that offers unparalleled performance, stunning design, and exceptional handling, all in a package that is more accessible and usable than ever before.

With its turbocharged power, advanced aerodynamics, and cutting-edge control systems, the 488 GTB is a true driver’s car, offering supercar performance that can be enjoyed by both seasoned enthusiasts and newer Ferrari owners alike.
