Facts
The 488 GTB's body combines cooling paths for the turbocharged powertrain with downforce-generating features, including active underbody elements.
Ferrari engineered the 488's turbo system to minimise lag; for the 488 Spider it quoted a 0.8-second throttle response at 2,000 rpm in third gear.
The 488 GTB sends power through a seven-speed F1 dual-clutch transmission.
The 488's V8 uses direct fuel injection.
The 488 GTB engine produces 670 cv at 8,000 rpm.
The 488 GTB uses a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 displacing 3,902 cc.
The 488 GTB's top speed exceeds 325 km/h.
Ferrari quotes roughly 3.0 seconds for the 488 family's 0-100 km/h sprint.
The 488 GTB returned turbocharging to Ferrari's series-production mid-engined V8 line, technically echoing the era of the 288 GTO and F40.
Ferrari developed a GT3 racing derivative from the 488, which entered its customer-racing programme in the mid-2010s.
