Compared to the regular Ferrari 488 GTB, the new 488 Pista is 90 kg lighter at 1280kg dry, features a 20 percent improved aerodynamic efficiency and makes 49hp more from its twin-turbo V8 that now produces 711hp (720PS).<\/p>\n

These are some stunning specs to be honest, especially when you consider just how good the car it\u2019s based upon is. Ferrari claims a 0-62mph (100km\/h) in 2.85 seconds, 0-124mph (200km\/h) in 7.6 seconds and a top speed of over 211mph (340km\/h).<\/p>\n

Ferrari has opted to call the new special series sports car \u201cPista\u201d, which is Italian for \u2018track\u2019, joining a celebrated lineup of hardcore models that includes the Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia and the 458 Speciale.<\/p>\n

The whole bodywork has been reshaped, with the designers using innovations such as the S-Duct at the front and the unique edges of the front bumper and side sills that guide the air flow in -apparently- all the right places.<\/p>\n

The 3.9-liter V8 engine is essentially the same unit found in the Challenge race car and features specific valves and springs, a new cam profile, strengthened pistons and cylinder heads shorter inlet ducts, radiators with an inverted rake, a larger intercooler and more. It\u2019s also 18kg lighter than the standard engine.<\/p>\n

For the first time ever in a Ferrari, the new 488 Pista can be fitted with a set of optional single-piece carbon-fiber wheels that are around 40 percent lighter than the GTB\u2019s standard rims. A new generation of Ferrari\u2019s Side Slip Control System is also present (SSC 6.0) because who doesn\u2019t like to slide around a Ferrari with some help from the gods of Maranello.<\/p>\n

The new Ferrari 488 Pista will be offered along the regular 488 GTB until it goes off production, something that will definitely bum out the car flippers out there.<\/p>\n
