The Ferrari 488 GTB, unveiled in 2015, marked a significant turning point for Maranello's mid-engine V8 berlinetta lineage. Succeeding the naturally aspirated 458 Italia, the 488 reintroduced turbocharging to the main line of Ferrari V8s for the first time since the legendary F40. Its name, "GTB" for Gran Turismo Berlinetta, paid homage to classic Ferrari nomenclature, while the "488" referred to the engine's unitary displacement. This new 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8, code-named F154CB, produced a staggering 660 horsepower, propelling the car from 0-60 mph in just 3.0 seconds and redefining performance expectations for the segment. Beyond raw power, the 488 also showcased advanced aerodynamics, including active elements and a blown spoiler, all developed to enhance downforce and handling prowess on both road and track. This particular 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB, with 18,960 miles on the odometer, presents an opportunity to own a pivotal model in Ferrari's modern history. Its potent 660 hp gasoline engine, paired with the lightning-fast automatic transmission, delivers an exhilarating driving experience that remains as captivating today as it was at launch. The coupe body style perfectly encapsulates the aggressive yet elegant design language that characterizes the 488, a car that effortlessly blends high performance with Italian artistry. For the enthusiast seeking a contemporary Ferrari that honors its heritage while embracing cutting-edge technology, this 488 GTB stands ready.
