Sure, its design may not be as radical as the LaFerrari’s, but the 488 GTB is one hell of a performer, having lapped the Fiorano track nearly a full second quicker than the 458 Speciale. Keep reading for the full run-down and stay tuned to TopSpeed for more details from the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, where this new Ferrari is set to make its global debut.Not only that, the interior of ferrari 458 gets updated too. But ferrari seems more focus on its weight savings inside the car. Above it, the most amazing improvement is under its skin.
The super car will have a new turbocharged engine. Before we talk about the 2016 version, let us take a look at the previous version. Ferrari, as we know, used the 4.5–liter V8 which can produce 596 hp. The performance has been upgraded from the standard, which is 458. Combining the weight saving and its extra power, the super car can run from 0-60 miles an hour in 3 seconds flat. It is so amazing, isn’t it? What can make you even more surprised is that in 2016,
ferrari will develop the engine. A twin turbocharged V8 will be in the next generation to make the performance of the car even more amazing.Like the screaming, naturally aspirated 458, the 488 uses an engine with a flat-plane crankshaft that should help it retain the “seductive soundtrack” that Ferrari promises. The 458 lacks artificial aspiration, but the Maranello carmaker claims that the new car’s twin-turbocharged engine has “zero turbo lag.” The twin-scroll turbos themselves use premium componentry such as shafts mounted on ball bearings and compressor wheels hewn from a low-density alloy of titanium and aluminum. Ferrari even trumpets “a special seal on the turbine housing [that] ensures a minimum gap between it and the compressor wheel for maximum efficiency.”Though he’s no longer working on new episodes of Top Gear, James May is keeping himself busy with other tasks, one of which was driving the new Ferrari 488 GTB and posting his thoughts in a review for The Sunday Times. May has owned a couple of Ferraris in the past and he’s quick to point out what he likes and doesn’t like about the new 488 GTB and its turbocharged engine.
