FERRARI 488 COUPE

Overview

The 488 GTB name marks a return to the classic Ferrari model designation with the 488 in its moniker indicating the engine's unitary displacement, while the GTB stands for Gran Turismo Berlinetta. The 488 is a very important car for Ferrari. This is because it symbolises a change in philosophy for the company's mid-engine supercar. Gone is the naturally aspirated 4.5 litre V8 found in the sublime 458 Italia and Speciale and in its place is a downsized, direct-injection 3.9 litre Twin-Turbocharged flat plane-crank V8. It's more efficient but also massively more powerful. With 661 bhp and 560 lb ft of torque, the 488 has outrageous performance and such impressive drivability that it has already won the overall International Engine of the Year Award at the 2016 Engine Expo along with victories in the Performance Engine, New Engine and 3 Litre to 4 Litre displacement categories. Make no mistake, the 488 is a staggering piece of automotive engineering.

This particular example was supplied new in November 2015, by H R Owen of South Kensington. Finished in the classic colour combination of Rosso over Nero, this car is one of the highest spec cars in the U.K. The paintwork has been further enhanced by the addition of the all important Scuderia shields and gallio callipers.. In addition to these, the exterior features an almost unheard of amount of Carbon Fibre including Rear Air-Ducts, Fog Lamp, Air Splitter, Under Cover in Carbon, Exterior Sill kicks and front spoiler all finished in Carbon Fibre.
On the interior of the car the huge specification continues. Large Carbon Fibre Goldrake Racing Seats are trimmed in Nero leather with contrasting Rosso stitching, the headrest also feature Rosso Cavallino's and Rosso seatbelts tie the interior and exterior together. Like the exterior, the cabin features a large amount of carbon fibre beyond the seats including Driving Zone, Central Bridge and Dash inserts. This particular example also features a number of special order features, including the Rosso stripe down the centre of the seat and the Italian flag on the rear lid.
