Auto-Ferrari began its journey to provide high-performance cars with V8 engine and an average 40 years ago, and during these four decades has been able Ferrari be written in terms its name in the history books in letters of gold as a queen in the world of engines the V8, where it made a lot of performance icons, and countless records and memories of victory in several tournaments.
At the end of each generation, everybody would have thought that Ferrari has reached a close as possible to the ideal and there is no room for improvement, even with her car 458 Italia, which triumphed over its predecessor F430 and improved performance and driving pleasure to a new level. It is a new Ferrari back to what it used to, to provide 488 GTB, the most perfect sister's 458, which benefited from the experience of 458 races in the world and decided to close a few steps from the new ideal.

If you are a Ferrari lovers nerds, or you own a 458 Italia car, it is easy to recognize the slight difference in design between 488 and 458, but without it, Both cars may seem to you almost the same design.
Despite the multiple developments obtained by 488, but the car is not only just an improved version of its predecessor Shall true Altobeir-, which make them retain the same design, except for a few simple touches, and that can be observed in the new front bumper which has become a provider with openings large ventilation and get rid of aerodynamic appendages, the lower part of the main lamps which has become larger, as well as ventilation on the front wheel arches and storage on both ends of the front cover which disappeared for more cruise slots.



The two sides got 488 new alloy wheels, and a huge ventilation slots higher rear wheel arches to feed the engine turbo-charged air, as well as the side of the threshold of carbon fiber large size. It is two sides to the backend where most offensive circle intermediate black new lamps, air vents, which replaced the net metal, plastic scrolls, as well as intermediate exhaust vents, which broke away in the form of slots exhaust-sized, and Osfielhm scattered huge air featuring an emergency light is like cars Formula 1.



On the side of aerodynamic 0.488 got great improvements, including raising the rear visibility area that operate wing repel more air and improve vehicle stability, as well as the large rear sink which distributes air passing from the bottom of the car with growths amended from its status electronically according to need the car, and of course the new design smooth underside of the hull which air passes smoothly down the car and guided to where you need 488. Thanks to these amendments and the more I got the car on the 50% increase in the payment to the bottom of the forces that is established on the road (downforce).



If the difference between the models 458 and 488 in the exterior design vision difficult, the difference inside the cabin more difficult.
Ferrari has made a very distinguished compartment in the model 458, which would make intervention a few of the amendments to the new car include re put some controls in different positions, and re-design of moderation region that includes adjusting suspension system and control system in the starting buttons, in addition to modifying the background counter Rolls engine from yellow to red to express their increasing strength and performance of the car.
Also I got 488 on the new sports seats provide more support for the body of the driver and passenger, while maintaining a level of comfort, and screen information system which completely redesigned, with the adoption of the operating system without a key.



Ferrari 488 GTB operate the new V8 engine with a new 3.9-liter turbo charging capacity, which is featured in the engine as the power it generates, as well as response time for orders, despite the fact that the turbo-charged engines not characterized as such.
Ferrari has worked on the development of this engine called 670 hp of power at 8,000 rpm, and 760 Nm at 2000 rpm, with the response to the rather speed of no more than 0.8 sec, which makes the 488 is able to accelerate from steadfast until speed 100 km / h in 3 seconds, but the speed of 200 km / h in 8.3 seconds, with a top speed estimated at 330 km / h.



The engine is mated to a sophisticated motion controls so much power and torque to intelligently provides the best performance at all speeds, with smooth in normal driving. In addition to the transmission a lot of electronic systems working to assist the driver in control of the 488, including the control system in a slide that helps you to start the maximum angle speed through out the turns, and a regular F1-Trac differential and gear-mail to help you in control of the vehicle even during full payment power to the wheels.
