Spesifications Ferrari 488 GTB
Design
The body of the 488 has been designed to increase downforce by 50% over the 458 while reducing aerodynamic. A new front double splitter increases radiator cooling while a newly designed blown rear spoiler (actually a slotted flap) integrated into the rear decklid and bumper increases downforce without requiring a raised wing.The central "Aero Pillar" deflects air under the flat body of the car while two vents in the bonnet provide an exit for air from the dual intakes of the front bumper, further reducing air pressure over the front of the car.
Underbody vortex generators work to reduce air pressure beneath the car thereby increasing overall downforce. A larger rear diffuser works to increase the velocity of air exiting the underbody to further lower air pressure, in conjunction with active aerodynamic variable flaps that both reduce drag and increase downforce as controlled by a microprocessor. The increased size of the diffuser over the previous 458 requires the twin exhausts of the 488 to be positioned higher in the rear bumper for clearance.
The scalloped side air intakes are a homage to those found on the 308 GTB, and are divided by a central partition. Air entering the top intake is partially directed into the turbocharger compressor intake, while the rest is directed through the rear of the car and exits alongside the rear lights, increasing air pressure behind the car in order to reduce aerodynamic drag. Airflow entering the lower intake is directed towards the intercoolers in order to cool the intake charge.
The Ferrari 488 was designed by Flavio Manzoni and won the Red Dot "Best of the Best" awards for Product Design in 2016.

Engine
The 488 GTB is powered
by a 3902cc (488cc per cylinder, thus the name) all- allumunium dry sump unit of the Ferrari F154 engine family. Turbocharged with two parallel ball bearing twinscroll turbochargers supplied
by IHI/Honeywell and two air-to-airintercooler, 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
8,000 rpm and 760 N·m (561 lb·ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm. This results in a specific power output of
126.3 kW (171.7 PS; 169.4 hp) per litre and specific torque
output of 194.8 N·m (144 lbf·ft) per litre, both records for a
Ferrari car.
Transmision
The only available
transmission for the 488 is an automated manual 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 reduce 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 was designed for the 488, measuring 51 centimetres (20 in) front and
rear. Front tires measure 245/35 with rears 305/30.
