Face lifts are for old women, not Ferraris. So how about we
call the 488GTB a redesign to the 458 Italia, based around another turbocharged
V-8. Et tu, Maranello? Truth is stranger than fiction, even Ferrari is
abandoning common goal for mileage.
As incredible as the 458 still seems to be, it's going to

turbocharged 488's energy climb and streamlined changes will make it speedier.
Speed never leaves style.
The 488 sticks with an adjusted adaptation of the 458's
aluminum structure, which has served well. Ferrari says the 488's dry weight of
3020 pounds is 22 not exactly the 458's. In any case, it's still heavier than

the full-lung arias of the 458's V-8? Will the tifosi acknowledge the
characteristically lumpier force conveyance of a turbo
Mid 2016. Valuing not affirmed, but rather the 458 begins at
$245,690 and when did a Ferrari ever get less expensive?
