About the Ferrari 488 GTB
The Ferrari 488 GTB succeeded the 458 Italia, marking a significant shift as the first mid-engined V8 Ferrari to use turbocharging since the F40. Its 3.9-litre F154 engine delivers massive torque low in the rev range while utilizing Variable Torque Management to mimic the linear power delivery of a naturally aspirated engine. Aerodynamically, it was a leap forward, featuring a blown rear spoiler and an active diffuser that increased downforce by 50% over its predecessor. For collectors, it represents a milestone in Ferrari's engineering history, blending daily usability with track-ready performance.
