Who missed me!
Some info regarding the 488 GTB
The name comes from the size of each cylinder as Ferrari always had the numbers mean something and thats where it comes from. The GTB is from the 308 GTB the first of the V8s series, also the bigger air intake on the side is based on the 308. Like every model they bring out new colours of red and with the 488 it will be "Rosso Corsa Met" and "Grigio Ferro Met".
The 488 GTB will have a Keyless start system on all models.
It runs 1:23 around the Fiorano Circuit. With having 40% faster(from 458) up shifts and down shifts. Making it 6s to accelerate from standstill to hit Rev limiter in 4th gear which is 25% less time then the 458. Having Variable Boost Management to ensure progressive acceleration so you dont feel it has a Turbo. They say the response time is almost the same as a NA. Its a .8s response time. I think the 458 is .65s (maybe someone can confirm)
0-100km/h in 3.0s and 0-200km/h in 8.3s(2.1s faster then 458).
The Ferrari sound is meat to be maintained. By doing this they made Flat Crankshafts and longest exhaust pipes(240mm vs 140mm std). They are all equal in length. They have succeeded with the sound track of the engine to have growing volume as revs increase(the 458 has a decrease after a certain number) and an increase in tone in high revs.
The reason why they had the presentation last night was because it was the 18th of Feb, the year Enzo Ferrari was born.
