Ferrari’s first turbo-assisted mid-engined car since the iconic F40.
It’s like a 458, but way, way faster and with even faster gear changes and even cleverer adaptive suspension.
The steering in particular is sublime, telepathic even. The nose turns in keenly and you instinctively know precisely how much lock to apply.
If a bend tightens, just apply more lock and the car tracks around with contemptuous ease.
Worried about turbo lag?
Well, bear in mind that the 488’s 3.9-litre twin-turbo 670 hp V8 delivers maximum response to full throttle 0.8 seconds after your toe hits the firewall.
It does 0-100 kph in 3.0 seconds and a top speed of over 330 kph.
The new Turbo sound is controlled and industrial – a bit like a modern F1 car. We would say it’s the best-sounding turbo road car out there.
On the interior the centre tunnel controls are a bit more LaFerrari-esque. So it feels modern and looks expensive.
However most importantly, the sheer performance capability will shatter anything you’ve experienced before in a supercar.
And with the drop-top Spider version of the 488 you’re always just seconds away from captivating the senses even more.
