There used to be a time when Chris Harris were not allowed anywhere near the Ferrari factory – in fact he wasn’t even welcome in Maranello, or anywhere in Northern Italy – because of some comments he’d made about the company. But reconciliation has happened between the two parties and that means Chris gets, once again, to drive the latest and greatest Prancing Horses, in this case the new Ferrari 488 GTB.
Chris didn’t have much time to spend with the car, but being a professional at what he does, he managed to cram a full track test as well as a nice road test into an 18-minute film. This is basically all you need to know about the Ferrari 488 GTB:
