Description
Sonoma Classic Motorcars and our new world wide brokerage Riviera MotorSports located in the Marina de Cascais is proud to present the 2021 Ferrari 488 Pista Spider. The image in the advert is for representation purpose only and is not the actual vehicle. Images and supporting documents will be provided upon request.
The 488 Pista cranks the power all the way up to 710bhp, neatly vaulting over the 600-and-something-horsepower supercar class without so much as a downward glance. A twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 50% new components is what has allowed the Pista to advance so quickly; and while you might think such horsepower-grabbing pace unsustainable, it is after all only enough to allow this car to match a McLaren 720S for peak power and torque. Elsewhere, there’s a familiar mix of new downforce-generating carbonfibre bodywork, a stripped-out lightweight cabin treatment and a track-intended suspension overhaul to report on – and we’ll cover them all over the next few pages.
There are also some eyebrow-raising acceleration figures and circuit lap times to tell you about – the Pista having become the first production car to bring a set of super-sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tyres to the MIRA dry handling circuit, as well as everything else. Read on to find out what difference they made.
The Ferrari 488 line-up at a glance:
With the 488 replacement, the F8 Tributo, announced earlier this year and soon to be launched to the press, the regular 488 GTB coupé is no longer on sale. Meanwhile, all examples of the 488 Pista coupé have been sold - leaving just the Pista Spider as the sole member of the line-up still available to new customers at this time.
