  • Ferrari 488 GTB makes world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show

    Ferrari's innovative eight-cylinder berlinetta debuts at the Geneva Motor Show with a new design, new engine and a plethora of patented solutions.


    On its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari 488 GTB sets a new benchmark for the sports car sector. Credit for this achievement must go to the Ferrari 488 GTB's revolutionary proprietary solutions which deliver a car at the top of its class in terms of power output with engine and response times of just 0.8 and 0.06 seconds respectively.

    Sophisticated dynamic vehicle controls make this performance completely controllable even on the limit by drivers of all abilities, resulting in the unique driving pleasure that only a Ferrari can deliver.

    The Ferrari 488 GTB guarantees exuberant performance that is absolutely exploitable to the fullest regardless of driving conditions and is accompanied by a deep, seductive soundtrack, the signature of all Ferrari engines.

    The Ferrari 488 GTB's revolutionary aerodynamics incorporate patented solutions, such as the blown rear spoiler, as well as innovative features like the 458 GT-derived aerodynamic underbody with vortex generators.

    The result is a new efficiency record for a Ferrari (E=1.67). Downforce increases to 325kg at 250km/h, thanks in part to active aerodynamic devices which reduce drag whilst simultaneously generating downforce when required.  

    The Ferrari 488 GTB's dynamic vehicle controls have also been further evolved. It sports a new version of the Side Slip Control System (SSC2) which, aside from just integrating with the car's F1-Trac and E-Diff, now also controls the active dampers.

    This renders the Ferrari 488 GTB's dynamic behaviour during complex manoeuvres even flatter and more stable, so that less expert drivers can enjoy its potential to the fullest, resulting in an extremely thrilling driving experience. 

    Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the Ferrari 488 GTB's sculptural forms are completely new. They accentuate the car's sportiness yet retain the classically clean, pure lines typical of Ferrari's legendary styling.

    The seamless interweaving of form and function is clear in every detail, in fact. Certain design elements also draw on styling cues from the past, not least the 308 GTB-inspired scalloped flanks.

    The Ferrari 488 GTB makes its debut in a new Rosso Corsa Met livery with black and red technical fabric cabin trim, and in a Grigio Ferro Met livery with black and Beige Tradizione leather interior trim.
