The 488 is a significant car as it marked a change in direction for Ferrari's long line of mid-engined V8s. Gone is the naturally aspirated 4.5L V8 found in the sublime 458 Italia and in its place is a downsized, direct-injection 3.9L Twin-Turbocharged V8. It's more efficient but also massively more powerful and has won numerous awards including the prestigious 'International Engine of the Year' at the 2016 Engine Expo.
The refined chassis of the 488 coupled with the pin-point steering and interior comfort allows the driver to really feel engaged with the road. This quickly builds confidence in the driver, allowing you to push harder, inviting you to test the limits of the 488 on the track. When the rear end does break free from grip, it can be controlled with elegance and ease, demonstrating the perfect balance of power and chassis stability from the 488.
The 488 is not only faster than a 458 Speciale but it's a lot more approachable and easier to drive, in fact the 488 has been praised by journalists as the perfect driving machine.

WHAT THE JOURNALISTS SAY
- Have you ever seen anything other than a five-star review for one? That's because the 488 was outstanding, not only in every quantifiable way but also in the less easily measured areas of emotion and passion. One of the standout supercars of the last decade.
- It sounds wonderful. And, oh my God, it's lovely to drive. You can potter about with the gearbox in automatic and it's not uncomfortable or difficult in any way.
- Outrageously fast, totally useable on the road and to my eyes it looks miles better than a 458. It's also better than the 458's noise, to me.
