Ferrari 488 GTB

The Ferrari 488 GTB’s all-new 3902 cc V8 turbo is at the top of its class in terms of power output. It delivers 492kW at 8000rpm and a response time to the accelerator of just 0.8 seconds (at 2000 rpm in third gear), setting the benchmark for this kind of architecture, thanks in part to innovative work carried out on the turbine to reduce friction and inertia.
