Looks fantastic!

Looks fantastic!

As usual, much better looking than the standard one. Big improvement for the rear air intakes in particular (without the horizontal separator).

 

[mihc]

Man in what wonderful times we are living if you are sports car/supercar fan. We have 720S,GT2 RS, Huracan Performante, amg gtr, and now this prancing horse....

 

[klier]

Cuz i hate it's looks lol.

No kidding. I've seen it several times IRL 'in the wild' by now, and it almost looks unfinished. Such a shame.

 

[Centurion]

Marvelous. The aggression of the bodywork is greater than I anticipated. It's a proper 488 on steroids. Bring on the promo video. I want to know what it sounds like.

 

[LaArtist]

Wow

 

[klier]

Looks absolutely crazy good as usual BTW. Ferrari does it again. Rear reminds me of an Enzo a bit

Love the name too.

Are you talking about the 720S as "unfinished" ? I must have seen a different car ? Can you elaborate ?

 

[Monster]

Yeap, this over the 720s any day, I know the 720s is not a lightweight track special but until that arrives, this 488 is king.

 

[Mafalda]

wow

Well for instance, from a lot of angles it looks like they forgot to add headlight... or that effective but weird looking aero design. I dunno, it’s all just awkward at best.

 

[Frankie G]

This car looks breathtaking...just as I was expecting. Can't wait to see more

That is a lot of torque coming from that engine.

That is a lot of torque coming from that engine.

And 'relatively' low down considering the weight of the car

And 'relatively' low down considering the weight of the car

Given Ferrari's torque management for the first few gears, I don't think the full amount of torque will be available until later on in the gearshift.

 

[savage-It]

Waiting for real pics...Hope later today!

 

[DeDe]

Seriously, what the f are these over-photoshoped pictures?! Terrible. The car is already fantastic, give us real-world photos!

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

Ferrari strikes again with the super PS-ed press pics.

Nice improvement over the standard 488. Like the name, makes me want to have some pistachio gelato.

 

[Sunny]

Much improved from the awkward looking 488.... but was hoping for J50 style headlights.
