Some Interesting Ferrari 488 GTB Facts
- Twin-Turbocharged Power – The 488 GTB is powered by a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing 661 horsepower (670 PS) and 760 Nm of torque, making it one of Ferrari’s most powerful V8 road cars.
- Successor to the 458 Italia – The 488 GTB replaced the Ferrari 458 Italia in 2015, marking a shift from a naturally aspirated V8 to a turbocharged engine for better performance and efficiency.
- Lightning-Fast Acceleration – It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.0 seconds and hit 200 km/h (124 mph) in 8.3 seconds, thanks to its aerodynamics and advanced traction control.
- Turbo Lag Virtually Eliminated – Ferrari engineered the Variable Torque Management system, which ensures instant throttle response, making the turbocharged engine feel almost like a naturally aspirated one.
- Exceptional Aerodynamics – The aerodynamic efficiency of the 488 GTB is 50% better than its predecessor, featuring an active rear diffuser, underbody vortex generators, and a new rear spoiler for optimal downforce.
- Inspired by the Ferrari LaFerrari – The aerodynamics and styling of the 488 GTB were influenced by the LaFerrari hybrid hypercar, making it one of the most aggressive-looking Ferraris.
- First Ferrari to Use a Model Code Since the 1980s – "488" refers to the engine’s unitary displacement (488cc per cylinder), and "GTB" stands for Gran Turismo Berlinetta, a nod to Ferrari's grand tourer heritage.
- Advanced Side Slip Control (SSC2) – Ferrari introduced the Side Slip Control 2 system, which allows for better handling and predictable power slides, making it one of the most exhilarating Ferraris to drive.
- Formula 1 Influence – The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is developed with F1 technology, providing instant gear shifts without interrupting power delivery.
- 488 Pista Evolution – In 2018, Ferrari introduced the 488 Pista, an even more extreme version with 720 hp, reduced weight, and enhanced aerodynamics, making it one of Ferrari’s fastest road-legal cars.
