"The 488 GTB’s engine is a twin-turbocharged 3.9-litre unit (3902cc); the California T’s is a 3855cc unit. The new engine produces 660bhp at 8000rpm and 560lb ft at 3000rpm. Both outputs are significant increases over the normally aspirated 4.5-litre V8 used in the 458 Italia and 458 Speciale. This produces 562bhp at 9000rpm in the former and 597bhp at 9000rpm in the latter; the torque figure of 398lb ft at 6000rpm in the former is the same in both cars. The outputs of the 488 GTB also eclipse that of its likely biggest rival, the McLaren 650S. The Woking car produces 641bhp at 7250rpm and 500lb ft at 6000rpm, although an imminent new McLaren supercar called the 675LT has a confirmed power output of 666bhp and will make its debut alongside the 488 GTB at the Geneva motor show in March. The torque figure of the 488 GTB is such that it also exceeds the 509lb ft at 6000rpm of the normally aspirated V12 used in the range-topping Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. The mighty new engine in the 488 GTB drives the rear wheels through a revised seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox derived from the 458. It features a new ‘Variable Torque Management’ system, which Ferrari says “unleashes the engine’s massive torque smoothly and powerfully right across the rev range”. The gear ratios are also tuned to “deliver incredibly progressive acceleration when the driver floors the throttle”. The 488 GTB can crack 0-62mph in just 3.0sec, 0-124mph in 8.4sec and reach a top speed of 205mph. Its 0-62mph time matches the McLaren 650S’s, but the Ferrari’s 0-124mph time is 0.1sec quicker than the McLaren's and the top speed is 1mph greater."
I'm keen to know how Porsche is going to respond to this 488 GTB with the 991.2 TTS. Cheers mate!

 

Very well done Ferrari

 

Love it

 

Death of the NA V8 Ferrari's...458 speciale is the last of the bunch.

 

Its a beauty, my goodness Ferrari has their chit together!

 

The doorhandle and keyhole look out of place. I didnt know cars still had keyholes. Some people are upset the block is made my chrysler, but man this thing is gonna be fast.

 

As a current 458 owner, I have to say this might get me to switch over to a Turbo Ferrari. I love the look of it - reminds me more of a 430 than the 458.

 

I'll need some time to warm up to the front, it's not bad but not great. Otherwise this car is a 10/10, just beautiful.

 

Sexy car

 

IMHO, I like the front more than the rear. This car outperforms the present TTS & can't wait to see what will Porsche bring to the table with the 991.2 TTS. It has to have more than 650hp to start with. Cheers mate!

 

Wow So gorgeous. That is what the new Vette should have been aiming for in the external design. Not so wild about the interior, but I do like that all the buttons you need are on the wheel. And I sure the sound is quite intoxicating. Nothing like a Ferrari in red, or any color.

 

Nicely executed design...in spite of the turbos.

 

IMO Ferrari makes the best looking cars. Another gorgeous car!

 

Stunning. Much better

 

Wow I love it. Next level for sure!
