Designed without influences from Pininfarina, the sensuous lines are just as functional as they are beautiful. The factory in Maranello is trying to keep pace with demand, which means your chance at a used 488 might become a reality in the near future. Being one of the fastest production cars of all time, it is simply too much for drivers unaccustomed with serious performance. Our dealers have a few used examples available for lease or purchase.

Performance:
Capable of reaching 0-60 mph in only 3 seconds, the vehicle has a top speed over 205 mph. The quarter mile is achieved in only 10.45 seconds thanks to a relatively light curb weight of 3,400 lbs. The flat-plane crankshaft offers a 3.4” bore and 3.3” stroke for quick revs. It uses the latest instability systems is known as SSC or Side Slip Control. It makes use of several accelerometers to keep you on the track. A gentle guiding hand, it is not as intrusive or abrupt as its competitors.
The engine is mid-mounted, just ahead of the rear wheels to provide the best in traction. In a bold move, the price was set at $245,000, which makes it more affordable than other cars in its class. Built as a compact two-seat GT car, it features a twin turbo 3.9L V8 which produces 670 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque. With that much power at launch, the tires would evaporate. To combat the wear, the computer uses ignition timing and the wastegates to progressively limit full power until top gear. A seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission is the only gearbox offered. The innovative turbos are mounted close to the exhaust ports and fed by equal length runners. Brembo developed all new brake calipers. Taking their traditional six piston front and four piston rear, several cooling holes have been cast between the pistons. This will keep the pads from burning while also saving un-sprung weight.
The new Italian Stallion is an incredible installment to the Italian fleet. The mid-mounted, twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 exhibits fluid acceleration without so much as a hint of turbo lag. Driven on a similar playing field as the 458 Speciale, the car has been touted as a highly acclaimed successor. All components, suspension, and power meshed together in a brilliant balance between a track hungry beast and a smooth sailor. The exterior's exquisite appearance truly speaks for this same balance, with definitive lines that echo Formula racing and softer, more subtle curves that lend themselves toward the open road.
Inside the cockpit is a highly stylized representation of pure sport. Equipped with the standard steering wheel controls, control bridge and ergonomic orientation of all functions the car promotes full collaboration between driver and road. As an update, lighter and redesigned seats have been installed. The engine features 661 releasable horses with 560 lb-ft of torque, which can drive the vehicle upwards of 205 mph with a 0-60 time of 3 seconds, flat. Esteemed and unmatched, even beyond the 458 Speciale, this begins a new chapter of supercar history.
