The Ferrari 488 Pista is a track-focused version of the Ferrari 488, introduced in 2018 as the highest-performing variant in the 488 lineup. Powered by a 3.9L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, it produces 710 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque, making it one of Ferrari's most powerful V8 models. This engine features lightweight internal components and advanced turbocharging technology, delivering rapid acceleration with a 0-60 mph time of just 2.85 seconds and a top speed of over 211 mph.
The Pista’s design incorporates extensive aerodynamic enhancements, including an S-duct in the front, a larger rear diffuser, and a rear wing, all contributing to a 20% increase in downforce over the standard 488 GTB. To keep weight low, Ferrari used carbon fiber for the hood, bumpers, and rear spoiler, reducing the Pista’s weight by about 200 pounds compared to the 488 GTB.
Inside, the 488 Pista’s cabin is minimalist and race-focused, featuring Alcantara, carbon fiber trim, and optional lightweight racing seats. The car’s advanced traction control and Ferrari’s Side Slip Control system allow drivers to push the car to its limits with greater confidence, whether on the road or the track. The Ferrari 488 Pista combines raw power, sophisticated aerodynamics, and Ferrari’s racing pedigree, offering an exhilarating driving experience for enthusiasts and collectors.
