2018 Ferrari 488 GTB

When the 458 Italia was replaced by the 488 GTB with its 3.9 litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8, Ferrari had returned to a turbocharged 8-cylinder for the first time since the fabled F40 in 1987. When history looks back upon the 8-cylinder Ferrari bloodline stretching back to the 1975 308 GTB, the 488 GTB will be remembered as one of the last reiterations of the classic configuration before the hybrid era.

The 488 GTB and its power unit has been rightly labeled by the automotive press as a masterpiece, more efficient, massively more potent than its predecessor, delivering what Evo magazine described as “outrageous performance” with any pre-perceived lack of naturally-aspirated association being more than replaced by the sheer drivability with almost astounding acceleration in any gear, from any speed to deliver the 661bhp and 560 lb ft of torque.

This fantastic condition right-hand drive 488 GTB is specified in the signature Rosso Corsa with Crema Daytona interior with exterior options including Scuderia Shields, Carbon-Fibre Rear Air Ducts, Carbon-Fibre Side Air Splitter, Front and Rear Parking Sensors and sits on 20” Forged Diamond Twin-Spoke Rims with Giallo CCM Brake Calipers, Sports Exhaust Pipes and the desirable Vehicle Lift System.

The Crema Leather interior is specified with a multitude of personalisation that includes Racing Seats, Rosso Contrast Stitching, Rosso Seatbelts, Contrast Leather Upper Dashboard, Embossed Headrests as well as a number of Carbon-Fibre upgrades including the Driver Zone, Steering Wheel with LEDs, and Dashboard Inserts and finished with Upgrade ‘Premium’ Hi-Fi and Electrochromic RearView Mirror.

The car has covered just 3,500 miles and has a full Ferrari Service History; 03/19 @2,120miles, 02/20 @3,191miles. The MOT is valid until 02/06/22. The front tyres are OE Pirelli P Zero 245/35 R20 and the rear Pirelli P Zero 305/30 R20.
