Ferrari 488 Comparison

The Ferrari 488 is no longer sold new in Australia, but it remains a key modern Ferrari because it introduced turbocharged V8 performance to the brand's mainstream mid-engined line. Replacing the 458, the 488 brought a major jump in torque and acceleration while keeping the low-slung two-seat layout, sharp steering and everyday usability that define Ferrari's junior supercars. Its appeal today is the mix of huge performance, familiar Ferrari proportions and a more analogue feel than some later hybrid models. Buyers looking at existing examples will find a car that still feels modern, fast and dramatic, with the added significance of Ferrari's first turbocharged V8 era.
