Here’s a proper road test review of the new Ferrari 488 GTB in case you were wondering if it was worth trading in your 458 Italia and getting one of these. Motor Trend’s Angus MacKenzie gives you the skinny on what the 488 is like to drive on the road but not before a good word out on Fiorano test rack.
Ferrari 488 GTB is the first turbocharged supercar with a prancing horse on its nose since the F40 and that makes it a very significant product. Yes, we had the turbocharged California T before this, but that is not a supercar. Some say that car isn’t even a real Ferrari!
