What happens when Formula One technology meets Supercar styling?
The turbocharged Ferrari 488 GTB is created.
Auto Express (2016) describes the 488 GTB as delivering "the kind of driving thrills, Formula One-inspired technology and sense of occasion that only a Ferrari can”.
This beautiful car has been inspired by and improved upon a number of past Ferrari models such as the 458 Italia, the LaFerrari Hypercar and the California T.
In a summary, the 2 door coupe is fast, attractive, gives great performance and is friendlier to the environment than its predecessors.
From brand new, the 488 features a 3.9-litre V8 engine, 7-speed dual clutch gearbox and can reach speeds of 0-60 in just 3 seconds (Car and Driver, 2015). Combine this with its elegant grey colour and dark leather interior seats, the Ferrari 488 boasts sophistication.
