Dubbed the 488 GTB, Maranello's latest mid-engined V8 supercar arrives forty years since the debut of the 308 GTB that launched Ferrari into the segment. It packs a 3.9-liter turbocharged V8 offering up 661 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque, representing a 64-horse increase over even the extreme 458 Speciale but an even more impressive torque boost of 162 lb-ft, despite a decrease in displacement by approximately 600cc. (Ferrari isn't saying exactly how many turbochargers its new forced-induction engine carries, but we're likely looking at a pair of twin-scroll turbos.)
The new engine is said to be enough to propel the new 488 GTB to 62 miles per hour in three seconds flat, to 124 mph in 8.3 seconds and on to a top speed in excess of 205 mph. And at 1 minute 23 seconds, the 488's lap time at Fiorano is also a good half second faster than the naturally aspirated Speciale and two seconds faster than the Italia. Ferrari says it dedicated significant efforts to keep the engine responsive and the exhaust note enthralling despite the introduction of forced induction for the first time in a mid-engined, eight-cylinder Prancing Horse since the F40.

yawn. looks like a Ferrari.
lol. I mean it looks cool sure, but when everything you make looks cool it kinda gets boring after a while.
Now, the California on the other hand. That's a ride I can get excited about. Always been a huge fan of those.

**** it, I hate the 458 front face, this is litte better in my eyes but still "458 ugly".
While the F12 has an amazing "angry-grin " face to it, which I love.
