Performance Ĭlaimed manufacturer performance for the 488 GTB is 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 3.0 seconds, 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 8.3 seconds, covering the quarter mile in 10.45 seconds and a top speed is 330 km/h (205.1 mph). Front tyres measure 245/35 and the rear tyres 305/30. Ī new five-spoke alloy wheel was designed for the 488, measuring 51 cm (20 in) at front and rear respectively. These advancements reportedly reduce stopping distances by 9% over the 458. Disc sizes are 398 mm at the front, and 360 mm at the rear. Improved carbon-ceramic brakes are used on the 488, derived from technology used in the LaFerrari, constructed with new materials that reduce the time needed to achieve optimum operating temperature. The only available transmission for the 488 is a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox manufactured for Ferrari by Getrag, based on the gearbox used in the 458. This results in a specific power output of 126.3 kW (171.7 PS 169.4 hp) per litre and specific torque output of 194.8 N⋅m (144 lb⋅ft) per litre, both records for a Ferrari automobile. Turbocharged with two parallel ball-bearing twin-scroll turbochargers supplied by IHI/ Honeywell and two air-to-air intercoolers, the turbine wheels are made of low-density TiAl alloy often used in jet engines to reduce inertia and resist high temperatures within the turbocharger. The 488 GTB is powered by a 3,902 cc (3.9 L 238.1 cu in) (488 cc per cylinder, thus the name) all- aluminium dry sump unit of the Ferrari F154 V8 engine family. Jeremy Clarkson announced the 488 Pista as his 2019 Supercar of the Year. The 488 GTB was named "The Supercar of the Year 2015" by car magazine Top Gear, as well as becoming Motor Trend 's 2017 "Best Driver's Car". The car is powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, smaller in displacement but generating a higher power output than the 458's naturally aspirated engine. The car replaced the 458, being the first mid-engine Ferrari to use a turbocharged V8 since the F40. The Ferrari 488 (Type F142M) is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari. The car was offered with “Attestato per vetture Serie speciali” documentation and paperwork for all the routine and maintenance work done on it under the original owner. The interior is in contrasting black leather and Alcantara upholstery, with red accents for more dramatic styling. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 paired with an electric motor delivering a total of 950 HP (963 PS), and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to the rear wheels, this example is finished in Rosso Corsa. Whatever his plans for the LaFerrari Aperta he just bought, he got himself the very definition of a timeless supercar in impeccable condition and a notable automotive investment. The buyer goes by Calculator987 and has so far remained impervious to countless questions from fellow bidders and non-bidding watchers. Considering the motivation behind this auction was solely the pleasure of the future owner, $5.3 million is quite an impressive amount.

This makes it the most expensive listing and subsequent sale to go through the online platform, but it falls short of the very special, Rosso Fuoco-painted LaFerrari Aperta that fetched $8.9 million for charity, with proceeds going to organizations like Save the Children. A bidding war was expected, and it did not fail to happen, but whatever guesstimates were made about this example’s potential to become the most expensive LaFerrari Aperta ever, they were squashed when the hammer dropped. Within minutes of the auction going live, bidding was already intense. When a 2017 example went up for sale on Bring a Trailer last month, showing just 161 miles (259 km) on the odometer, it was almost a given that it would change hands for a lot of money. Since only 210 examples of the LaFerrari Aperta were produced between 20, and only 200 of them ever reached customers, the fact that one came up for sale is a rarity on its own.
