The Ferrari 488 is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari, introduced in 2015 to replace the previous 458.
It is powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8, smaller in displacement and higher in output than the 458's naturally aspirated engine. The 488 GTB was named "The Super car of the Year 2015" by car magazine Top Gear, as well as becoming Motor Trend's 2017 "Best Drivers Car".
Improved carbon-ceramic brakes are supplied on the 488, derived from technology used in La Ferrari, constructed with new materials that reduce the time needed to achieve optimum operating temperature. Disc sizes are 398 mm at the front, and 360 mm at the rear. These advancements reportedly reduce stopping distances by 9% over the 458.
A new 5-spoke alloy wheel was designed for the 488, measuring 51 centimeters (20 in) front and rear. Front tires measure 245/35 with rears 305/30.
The first 488 to be introduced was the 488 GTB 2-seat berlinetta, successor to the 458 Italia.
