The Ferrari 488 (Type F142M) is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari. The car replaced the 458, being the first mid-engine Ferrari to use a turbocharged V8 since the F40. It was succeeded by the Ferrari F8.

That's quite fast indeed. Auto Motor und Sport achieved 25.6 s. With speedometer error accounted for (Auto (Italy)'s test of the 458 will give you some idea of the speedometer uncertainties at high speed), I'd say the times are very nearly identical. I'd guesstimate 24 - 25 s is the lower limit for a 0-300 kph run in the Ferrari 488.

Novitec Rosso unveils Carbon-Fiberlicious 488 GTB
A lot of time has passed since we first got wind of what Novitec was planning to do with the newly launched Ferrari 488 GTB, and now it's finally here.
As expected, the styling hasn't changed too drastically, yet the carbon fiber aero elements make for a visibly more aggressive supercar than before, with an emphasis on the rear wing, side skirts and the front spoiler lip.
The German tuner certaily didn't forget about the 488's twin-turbo V8, giving it an extra 63.3 kW (86 PS / 84.8 HP) which led to a direct increase in top speed, rounding things out at 342 km/h (212 mph). Also, with 756 PS (745 HP) on tap, the Novitec Rosso 488 boasts more power than even your run-of-the-mill F12Berlinetta - and this just in its base-spec tune.
There are two other performance upgrades (a Stage 2 and a Stage 3). The most powerful of the two offers up 568 kW (772 PS / 761 HP) and a monster 892 Nm (657 lb-ft) of torque, whereas the other one is good for 562 kW (764 PS / 753 HP) and 888 Nm (654 lb-ft).
Novitec however only provided acceleration figures for the "base-spec" tuning package, displaying a hypercar-worthy 2.8-second 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time.
In order to maximize the car's performance, Novitec fiddled with the suspension components and provided the 488 with tailor-made 21" wheels and tire combos in order to squeeze every last drop of grip from the rubber.
While no interior images have been released yet, the Novitec program does extend into the cockpit where customers can enjoy a wide range of carbon fiber inserts.

On Fchat, Marco said he heard one of the guys telling the driver not to turn on the KERS. So cross your fingers

Was bound to trickle down to the more "mainstream" cars of Ferrari, so won't be surprised the least bit if we do see KERS being introduced with this car

It's worth noting that the 488's transmission shares a lot of the same basic architecture as the LaFerrari's. It could very well support a KERS system similar to the LaFerrari's if such a device was deemed necessary.

What is the difference between the 458 Speciale transmission and the 488 GTB transmission? Does someone have tech drawings?

In truth, as far as the basic layout (shafts, etc.) go, it's identical. Most likely, it's been made stronger and more robust (in order to handle the increased loads). The same input shafts (the odd gears being on a shaft concentric with the hollow shaft for the even gears) are present; with gears 3 and 5, 4 and 6, 2 and reverse each having a shared pinion (input) gear (for example, fourth and sixth have ratios 42:37 and 30:37, respectively). This is also a Feature of the Ferrari 458, 458 Speciale, LaFerrari, California T, Ferrari F12, and Mercedes SLS transmissions (they are all basically the same unit, the Getrag 7DCL750).
There are still two output shafts (mainshafts), one with the gear wheels for gears 2,5,6,7 and the other with rear wheels R,1,3,4. These output shafts then power the final drive shaft (through a shared gear wheel, in this example 41 teeth) which contains the pinion for the 35:8 (4.375:1) spiral bevel gear.
tl,dr: All that's changed are the actual ratios and the robustness of the gearbox.
I posted an image earlier in this thread which might help you out. If you'd like, I can post the ratio lists for the 458, F12, etc. gearboxes as well.
In terms of layout, this transmission is virtually identical to the one used in modern McLarens (P1, 675 LT, 570 S, MP4-12C, etc.). In addition, this transmission also has a lot in common with the DL800 (the unit found in the Lamborghini Huracán and Audi R8 S Tronic). I have full ratio lists for these as well if anyone's interested.
