The 488 Pista is the successor to the Italian marque’s limited-edition 458 Speciale from 2013, with both cars taking inspiration from Ferrari’s current crop of racing machines. While the Pista is based on the regular 488 GTB, Ferrari has heavily reworked the mid-engined supercar’s bodywork in the quest for speed. The front of the car has a new bonnet and front splitter, giving it a more aggressive look, and a large air intake has been sculpted into the bonnet, to help air flow and generate more aerodynamic grip. At the back, the 488 Pista is fitted with a large carbon-fibre diffuser, ike that on the firm’s GTE endurance racer, to further improve aerodynamic grip and reduce drag. The bumper design is also different from the standard 488, mimicking the rear of the 458 Speciale. The revised bodywork and the addition of a larger rear spoiler helps the 488 Pista generate 20% more downforce than the base car. Inside, the cabin features carbon-fibre highlights in several areas, including on the dashboard and steering wheel, says Autocar. The new supercar also features thinner windscreen glass and significantly less soundproofing, to lower its weight. The 488 Pista’s 711bhp twin-turbo V8 motor is considerably more powerful than the GT3 RS’s 513bhp flat-six engine. This helps the Italian supercar sprint from 0-62mph 0.4 seconds faster than the German car’s time of 3.2 seconds. The 488 Pista’s 1,385kg kerb weight is 45kg lighter than its rival, which should make the car easy to handle on track. But as the Ferrari is expected to come with a price tag of around £215,000, it’s significantly more expensive than the GT3 RS which is expected to cost £141,000.
