Forty years after the unveiling of its first ever mid-rear-engined V8 model, the 308 GTB, the Prancing Horse opens a new chapter in its eight-cylinder history.
The Ferrari 488 GTB’s new 3,902cc V8 turbo is at the top of its class for power output, torque and response times, making it the new benchmark for this kind of architecture.
The engine unleashes 660bhp at 8,000rpm along with 561lb/ft of maximum torque in seventh gear and a response time to the accelerator of just 0.8 seconds at 2,000rpm. These figures are sufficient to allow the Ferrari 488 GTB to accelerate from 0-125mph in an astonishing 8.3 seconds.
The new Ferrari 488 GTB will make its world debut at
the Geneva Motor Show in March.
