German car magazine Sport Auto in the process of thoroughly testing the new Ferrari 488 GTB for their first 2016 issue. As a sort of teaser for what’s to come, they released a video of their test driver Uwe Sener spanking the GTB at L’Anneau Du Rhin test track in France. The words poetry in motion come to mind.

Technicalities, facts and figures aside, watching a Ferrari 488 GTB tackling a beautiful, and empty, race track like this is pure joy in itself. That amazing V8 soundtrack is a bonus.
