Ferrari 488 Specs: GTB, Spider, Pista, and Pista Spider

The Ferrari 488 is the fastest car in the world. The Italian automaker has managed to create a supercar that's faster than its most powerful predecessor, the 458 Italia. The 488's top speed is also more than double its predecessor's (458 Italia - 205 mph vs. 458 - 180 mph), while it has a lower EPA-rated fuel economy (12 mpg city/21 mpg highway). It also generates 660 horsepower, 20 more than its predecessor's 595, and Italia gets a discontented version of 661 horses.

The good news is that its chassis features the same suspension and transmission as the Italia. However, the company changed the manual transmission from a 6-speed to an automated dual-clutch unit. The model is priced at $240,000 with a rapid acceleration capability of 0-62 mph in 3.0 seconds and 0-124 mph in 8.8 seconds (the Ferrari 458 Italia - 0-62 3.2 seconds, 0-124 9.2 seconds). The 488 GTB has a dry weight of 3,263 pounds (1,470 kg) - so it's lighter than the 458 Speciale (3,240 lbs). However, it's actually longer than the Ferrari 458 Italia by almost 2 inches (52 mm).

For those of you who prefer to drive a convertible supercar, Ferrari also offers a Spider version of the 488 GTB. This model is lighter and more aerodynamic than its predecessor due to its fixed hard-top. The manufacturer has added 22 pounds to the vehicle and this should be compensated by a more solid body structure providing improved refinement and extended high-speed stability. The interior features the same family wheel as the Italia and the Spider version has a dry weight of 322 pounds (1,175 kg) - about 2% more than the 458 models of the same type.

Pista is another 488 model and this one comes with a set of modified aerodynamics and suspension. The manufacturer recommends it for track use only and it's sold for $340,000. The car can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds and 0-124 mph in 8.0 seconds (458 Italia - 3.0, 9.2 respectively). The Pista Spider (the top-shelf of 488 models) weighs 3,013 pounds (1,330 kg) - about 1% more than the 458 Italia and 2.2% less than the Spider from 458. Due to its modified aerodynamics and suspension, the Pista has a dry weight of 342 pounds (152 kg) - about 1% more than the 458 model of the same type.
