Some Interesting Ferrari 488 Pista Facts

The Most Powerful V8 Ferrari at Launch The Ferrari 488 Pista, introduced in 2018, featured a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 720 hp (710 bhp) and 770 Nm (568 lb-ft) of torque, making it the most powerful V8 Ferrari ever at the time.

Lighter Than the Standard 488 GTB The Pista is 90 kg (198 lbs) lighter than the standard 488 GTB, thanks to the use of carbon fiber in the hood, bumpers, rear spoiler, and even the intake plenum.

Pista Means "Track" in Italian The name "Pista" translates to "track" in Italian, emphasizing its race-inspired design and performance enhancements derived from Ferrari’s motorsport expertise.

0-100 km/h in Just 2.85 Seconds The 488 Pista can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.85 seconds, with a top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph), making it one of Ferrari’s fastest road cars.

Derived from Ferrari’s Racing Experience The 488 Pista’s technology is inspired by Ferrari’s 488 GTE and 488 Challenge race cars, incorporating advanced aerodynamics, improved cooling, and a race-tuned chassis.

Enhanced Aerodynamics with S-Duct The Pista features an F1-style "S-Duct" at the front, which increases downforce by 20% over the 488 GTB, improving stability and cornering performance.

Lighter Titanium Connecting Rods and Exhaust Ferrari used titanium connecting rods, a lightweight flywheel, and an Inconel exhaust system, reducing engine weight and enhancing throttle response.

New Michelin Cup 2 Tires for Maximum Grip The 488 Pista comes equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, specifically designed for Ferrari to maximize grip on the track and road.

Track-Focused Interior with Alcantara and Carbon Fiber The Pista’s interior is stripped down for performance, featuring Alcantara upholstery, carbon fiber door panels, and fabric door pulls, reducing unnecessary weight.

Limited Production and High Collectibility While Ferrari never officially stated production numbers, estimates suggest around 3,500–4,000 units, making the 488 Pista one of the most exclusive and collectible modern Ferraris.

Ferrari 488 Pista Price

The 488 Pista is Ferrari’s track-focused V8 masterpiece, boasting 711hp, a 0–100 km/h sprint in 2.85s, and a Fiorano lap time rivaling the 918 Spyder.

With only 3,000 units built globally, it’s the last of the non-hybrid mid-engine Ferraris—and prices are climbing.
