2019 (19) | Ferrari 488 Pista

The Ferrari 488 Pista represents the most focused and track-orientated evolution of the 488 platform, developed using technology and lessons learned from Ferrari’s motorsport programmes. Powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 711 bhp and 770 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed F1 dual-clutch transmission, the 488 Pista accelerates from 0-62 mph in 2.85 seconds and reaches a top speed of 211 mph. Compared to the 488 GTB, the Pista benefits from extensive weight-saving measures, revised aerodynamics and a significant increase in power. Ferrari reduced weight by approximately 90 kg through the widespread use of carbon fibre and lightweight materials, while advanced aerodynamic developments such as the S-Duct front intake, redesigned rear diffuser and rear spoiler generate substantially greater downforce and high-speed stability.

Chassis enhancements include Ferrari’s latest Side Slip Control, E-Diff3 electronic differential and Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer system, allowing drivers to exploit the car’s performance with greater confidence and precision. The result is sharper turn-in, improved traction and a more connected driving experience both on road and circuit. Inside, the cabin reflects the Pista’s uncompromising character, featuring extensive carbon fibre, lightweight trim materials and a driver-focused layout with minimal distractions. Combining race-derived engineering, dramatic performance and exceptional driver engagement, the Ferrari 488 Pista stands as one of the most celebrated and collectible modern Ferrari V8 models.
