Meet the Ferrari 488 GTB

Bellissima! Meet the new Ferrari 488 GTB – a replacement for the mid-engined 458. It’s also the first Ferrari since the 1970s to use a turbocharger in an “entry level” engine.

Ferrari says the 488 GTB “provides track-level performance that can be enjoyed to the full even by non-professional drivers in everyday use”. We’d like to try that out!

The 488 GTB has a 3.9-litre V8 turbocharged engine producing 660 bhp. Top speed is 205mph and it will hit 60mph in 3 seconds – or 124mph in 8.3 seconds!

The Ferrari 488 GTB will make its world debut at the International Geneva Motor Show in March where more details, including its price, will be revealed. We expect it to be around the £200k mark. The first UK customers will get their cars at the beginning of 2016.
