The Ferrari 488 GTB, unveiled in 2015, marked a pivotal moment for Maranello, ushering in a new era of forced induction for its mid-engine V8 berlinettas. As the successor to the naturally aspirated 458 Italia, the 488 faced the formidable task of proving that turbocharging could enhance, rather than diminish, the visceral Ferrari experience. Its 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8, a derivative of the engine found in the California T, produced an astonishing 661 horsepower, launching the car from 0-60 mph in a mere 3.0 seconds. This technological leap, combined with advanced aerodynamics and sophisticated electronic controls, ensured the 488 not only met but exceeded the performance benchmarks of its predecessor, earning it numerous accolades, including "Best Performance Engine" at the International Engine of the Year awards for four consecutive years. This stunning 2017 Ferrari 488 GTB presents a compelling opportunity to own a significant chapter in Ferrari's storied history. Showing just 5,334 miles on the odometer, this example is powered by the legendary 3.9L twin-turbo V8, paired with its lightning-quick automatic transmission. Its pristine condition, both inside and out, speaks to meticulous care and limited use, preserving the essence of its original factory brilliance. For the discerning enthusiast, this 488 GTB represents the perfect blend of cutting-edge performance and timeless Italian design.
