The 488 GTB name marks a return to the classic Ferrari model designation with the 488 in its moniker indicating the engine's unitary displacement, while the GTB stands for Gran Turismo Berlinetta. The new car not only delivers unparalleled performance, it also makes that extreme power exploitable and controllable to an unprecedented level even by less expert drivers.
Extreme sportiness and comfort
Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the 488 GTB features very sculptural flanks which are the key to its character. Its large signature air intake scallop is a nod to the original 308 GTB and is divided into two sections by a splitter, Aerodynamics and Vehicle Dynamics
you've already shattered speed laws to tiny bits. Mash the throttle at any speed, in any gear, and summon a time warp. Yet power is nothing without control, and just to the left of that gas pedal is the brake pedal, which activates carbon-ceramic brakes that shed speed with seatbelt-straining effectiveness, provided you’ve warmed them up. There's no curve that can throw the Ferrari 488 off its pace, as it clings tenaciously to tarmac. The only thing that's more amazing than this Ferrari's dynamic capabilities is how easy and fun it is to drive. Even better, an adaptive suspension and smooth-shifting dual-clutch transmission make the 488 GTB an oddly capable commuter…though there’s nothing sadder than a Ferrari stuck in traffic.
