The Pista ("track" in Italian) is a more track-focused Ferrari 488 and the successor to the 458 Speciale. It was originally unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show as a limited-edition sendoff for the 488. The 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 from the base 488 GTB and Spider has been upgraded to 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque in the Pista. The 488 Pista launches from zero to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, zero to 124 mph in 7.2 seconds, and is capable of a top speed of 211 mph. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual clutch. Carbon fiber and alcantara are used extensively in the 488 Pista in order to conserve weight. The Pista's most distinctive exterior features are its larger front and rear air vents for improved aerodynamics. Production for the 488 Pista has been slated for 3500 units, with each example going for anywhere between $345,000 and $600,000 depending on options, overall condition, and dealer markup. Replacing the 488 is the F8 Tributo, which produces the same amount of horsepower and torque as the Pista, making them the most powerful V8 Prancing Horses ever made. In summary, the Ferrari 488 Pista is nothing short of amazing, especially when it is pushed to its limits on the racetrack. Like the Lamborghini Urus in the previous post, the 488 Pista was one of the cars I was most excited to see up close for the first time when I saw three of them in LA last month.
Included below are the standard 488 GTB and Spider.
