Why We Picked It:
The 2019 488 Pista is Ferrari's special series vehicle, improving upon the "regular" 488 GTB in every way. The Pista takes advantage of many characteristics and technologies developed for racing competitions. Ferrari's 488 GTE and 488 Challenge race cars have contested and won multiple Manufacturers' titles in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), from which much of the car's development was drawn.
When the 488 Pista was launched, the updated V8 was Ferrari's most potent ever, continuing the company's tradition of producing some of the world's fastest vehicles. Due to its twin turbos, the 3.9-liter engine can produce 568 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm and 710 hp at 8000 rpm.
Engine components from the 488 Challenge race vehicle boost power and performance above the ordinary 488 GTB model by 49 hp and seven lb-ft, respectively. These components include Inconel exhaust manifolds, reinforced pistons, a larger intercooler, and a new camshaft. In their own words, Ferrari is pleased to announce that "the engine sound is unique and unmistakably Ferrari, as such a special car warrants."
