Specifications
Engine
The 488 GTB is powered by a 3,902 cc (238 cu in) all aluminum dry sump unit of the Ferrari F154 engine family.
Turbocharged
with two parallel ball-bearing twin-scroll turbochargers supplied by
IHI and two air-to-air intercoolers, the compressor wheels are made of
low-density TiAl alloy often used in jet engines to reduce inertia and
resist high temperatures within the turbocharger.
The engine
produces 670 PS (493 kW; 661 hp) at 8000 rpm and 760 N·m (561 lb·ft) of
torque at 3000 rpm. This results in a record specific power output of
126.3 kW (171.7 PS; 169.4 hp) per litre and record specific torque
output of 194.8 N·m (144 lbf·ft) per litre for a Ferrari road car.
Transmission
The
only available transmission for the 488 is an automatic dual-clutch
7-speed F1 gearbox manufactured for Ferrari by GETRAG, based on the
gearbox used in the 458.
Handling
Improved carbon-ceramic
brakes are supplied on the 488, derived from technology used in
LaFerrari, constructed with new materials that quicken the time needed
to achieve optimum operating temperature.
Disc sizes are 398 mm
at the front, and 360 mm at the rear. These advancements reportedly
reduce stopping distances by 9% over the 458.
A new 5-spoke alloy
wheel design is designed for the 488, measuring 20 inches front and
rear. Front tyres measure 245/35 with rears 305/30.
Performance
Claimed
manufacturer performance of the 488 is 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in
3.0 seconds, 0–200 km/h (120 mph) in 8.3 seconds, covering the quarter
mile in 10.45 seconds and continuing to a top speed in excess of
330 km/h (210 mph).
