Perfect Auto Collection Signature Listing 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB VIN ZFF79ALA0J0229053 | 10,460 miles Rosso Corsa is not a color Ferrari offers. It is the color Ferrari raced in before anyone thought to ask for another. Why We Acquired This Vehicle The 488 GTB carried Maranello's mid-engine berlinetta into the turbocharged era - the first turbocharged V8 to carry the lineage forward from the naturally aspirated 458, wrapped in bodywork shaped as much by the wind tunnel as by the designer's hand. This example earned its place through its specification: a build carrying genuine racing-inspired detail through the cabin and the exterior, from Daytona racing seats to carbon fiber worked across the car. It reads as a Ferrari ordered with intention rather than taken off a lot, and the verified appointments are detailed in full below. It is finished in Rosso Corsa over Nero - the racing red the marque was built on, the color that needs no explanation - protected under full paint protection film, and showing 10,460 miles. It has been used as a Ferrari should be, and cared for while being used.

We ask a simpler question: does it still feel like an occasion at a stoplight, and would we be proud to keep it in our own collection? This 488 GTB answers on both counts. Its verified options are not filler; they reflect a car ordered with intention rather than left to a base build, and the racing-focused specification runs deep enough to change how the whole car reads. In Rosso Corsa over Nero, the result is sharp, uncompromising, and unmistakably Ferrari. Why Enthusiasts Value This Model The 488 marked Ferrari's return to turbocharging in the mid-engine V8 - the first since the F40 - and it did so without surrendering the immediacy that made the naturally aspirated 458 a benchmark. The turbochargers added a wave of torque and ferocious acceleration while the throttle response stayed sharp. Informed owners are drawn to that transition point: a chassis honed on the same principles as Ferrari's racing programs, aerodynamics shaped to generate real downforce, and a V8 that answers with almost no perceptible lag despite the turbochargers doing the work. Production ended in 2019, when the F8 replaced it, so the number of 488 GTBs that exist is now fixed. What buyers are looking for among them is specific: a racing-focused specification, mileage low enough to matter, and detail that proves how a car was built rather than how it is described. That is why a car's options matter - they are the difference between a listing that claims a car is special and one that can show it. Factory and Vehicle Highlights Carbon Fiber Racing Package This factory package applies exposed carbon fiber across a coordinated set of racing-inspired interior trim elements. Why it matters: Specifying it as a single factory package means the weave and finish match consistently across the cabin, rather than reading as separate add-on parts bolted in later. Engine Covers in Carbon Fiber The engine bay covers are finished in exposed carbon fiber rather than a standard painted or textured surface. Why it matters: It is the detail that rewards raising the rear hood at a car meet - visible weave under lacquer over an engine most people will only ever hear. Daytona Racing Seats The Daytona-style seats carry the pronounced side bolsters and horizontal center stitching pattern of Ferrari's most racing-focused seating option. Why it matters: The deeper bolstering holds you in place through hard cornering far better than a standard comfort seat, and it is the seat enthusiasts specifically seek in a driver's 488. Racing Seat Lifter The seat lifter allows the height of the racing seats to be adjusted beyond their fixed base position. Why it matters: Deep-bolstered racing seats usually trade adjustability for support; this gives back the height adjustment without giving up the bolstering - the detail that makes them livable day to day. Red Brake Calipers The calipers behind the wheels are finished in red rather than a standard black or silver. Why it matters: Seen through the dark forged wheels, the red picks up the Rosso Corsa bodywork and ties the braking hardware into the car's color rather than leaving it an afterthought. 20-Inch Forged Dark Painted Wheels Twenty-inch forged wheels in a dark painted finish replace the standard-finish wheel. Why it matters: Forged construction keeps unsprung weight down even at this diameter, benefiting how the car turns in - and the dark finish is what gives a red Ferrari its purposeful, modern stance. Scuderia Ferrari Shields The enamel Scuderia Ferrari shields are set into the front fenders - a factory option, not an aftermarket addition. Why it matters: The fender shields are among the most coveted and recognizable Ferrari options, tying the car directly to the racing team and carrying real weight with the next owner. Suspension Lifter The front-axle suspension lifter raises the nose at the touch of a button. Why it matters: On a low, front-lipped Ferrari this is a genuine must-have - it clears steep driveways and speed bumps and protects the front end from expensive, avoidable damage. AFS Adaptive Front Lighting Ferrari's Adaptive Front Lighting System pivots the headlamp beam in the direction of steering input as the car changes direction. Why it matters: On a twisting road at night, light that follows the corner rather than pointing straight ahead means seeing the apex before the headlights alone ever would. Parking Camera A factory-fitted camera assists with low-speed maneuvering and parking. Why it matters: In a car this wide with a nose this low, a clear view of what is directly ahead removes the guesswork from everyday parking lots and driveways. Full Body Paint Protection Film A full-body paint protection film covers the exterior panels. Why it matters: Rosso Corsa shows every mark, and full coverage rather than partial film is what lets an owner drive the car properly - the stone chips land on the film, and the paint underneath stays exactly as Maranello sprayed it. Horse Stitched on Headrests The Prancing Horse is embroidered directly into each headrest. Why it matters: Unlike a badge on the exterior, this one faces inward - it is for the two people in the car every time they sit down, and nobody else. Colored Special Stitching Contrast stitching runs through the seats and surrounding trim in place of tone-on-tone thread. Why it matters: It is a hand-finishing detail that turns the Nero interior into a deliberate composition rather than a single flat color. Colored Safety Belts The safety belts are finished in a specified color rather than standard black webbing. Why it matters: In a Nero interior the belts are the largest continuous line across the seat, so coloring them is what turns a black cabin into a deliberate two-tone composition. Colored Mats with Logo Color-matched floor mats carry the Ferrari logo in place of the standard set. Why it matters: It is a small thing that signals the interior was specified as a complete set, down to the last surface, rather than left to whatever shipped standard. 3.9-Liter Twin-Turbocharged V8 The 488's 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 is the heart of the car, delivering an immediate, enormous surge of torque and savage acceleration. Why it matters: It is a multiple-award-winning engine and the reason the 488 rewrote expectations - the turbochargers add violence without stealing the throttle response Ferrari built its reputation on. Rear-Wheel Drive Power is sent to the rear wheels alone, in the classic mid-engine Ferrari layout. Why it matters: It is central to the 488's adjustable, communicative balance - the configuration purists associate with a true driver's Ferrari. Behind the Wheel Ease into traffic and the 488 GTB is surprisingly cooperative - light steering, a compliant ride on the softer damper setting, and visibility that belies the low seating position. It is happy to be driven gently when gently is all that is asked of it. Open the throttle and that civility disappears. The twin-turbo V8 answers with almost no hesitation and builds speed with a ferocity that never feels like it is running out of breath. The Daytona seats hold you firmly through all of it, the aerodynamics working quietly at speeds where lesser cars start to feel nervous. For the right owner, this is not simply a fast Ferrari. It is the version built for the driver who wanted the drama of a supercar without giving up the ability to use it.
