Overview
This model replaced the well-regarded 458 Italia, and like its predecessor, it combined explosive speed with everyday usability. Its power comes from a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V-8, producing 661 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque in the 488 GTB.
Ferrari engineered the turbo system to minimize lag and maintain linear power delivery. The engine is paired exclusively with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering rapid shifts and helping the car reach 60 mph in roughly 3.0 seconds. Advanced systems such as Side Slip Control (SSC2), F1-Trac traction control, and an electronically controlled differential work together to make the 488 both incredibly fast and approachable at the limit. Aerodynamic tricks included a blown rear spoiler and active front aero that improved downforce without increasing drag.
This extremely low mileage 488 GTB is a California car and is finished in the rare combination of Blu Tour de France Metallic exterior and Cuoio leather interior with carbon fiber enhancements. Over $40,000 in factory options including the helpful suspension lifter, 20″ forged painted wheels, Scuderia Ferrari Shields, Horse stitched headrests and much more.
