I love the 458 because it's a beautiful car and it sounds amazing.. The 488 is less beautiful and doesn't sound as good, the trade is it's faster. I'm not sure anyone could actually use the difference in performance so the trade isn't worth it to me I'm not in the market for a Ferrari though, so wtf do I know

xsbgtr Have you ever been in a McLaren F1? It's a tough car to drive. It requires a lot of maintenance. It's a different sort of car. It was a great car at its time, and because it was so good, McLaren haven't even tried to make a successor, they simply can't. The 650S, 570S, and 540S are all targeted at different buyers (aka Ferrari and Porsche buyers). The P1, the flagship, now focuses on acceleration to 300km/h, and insane handling.

@danielmaia3559 9 жыл бұрын

Ferrari electronically limited the turbocharge so the build of power feels more like a NA engine, this cuts the lag but also cuts the power that the engine could make. I wonda if it wouldn't be better if they embraced the turbocharged engine thing and made it as faster and nuts as possible like the F40 was, I mean I'm pro NA engines I'll miss the noise the Ferrari V8 made but if you're going to turbocharge it make it as fast as possible.

@web 9 жыл бұрын

The total output is not limited. It's limited at points where tires are already at its limits anyway - lower gears.

@VirusTornado 9 жыл бұрын

Daniel Maia They didn't 'limit' the maximum power output. They controlled the boost in lower gears so that there's less lag AND less wheelspin. At higher gears, they let the engine use all the boost available. It's a very smart system designed to make the car feel more refined, and it is.

Every time carmakers make a switch from NA to turbocharged, they have a new set of exucuses, like it matches the throttle response of NA, the sound progresses with the revs, or it's 20 % more efficient, or it spits roses from the tailpipe and so many other bullshit...The fact is it will never sound as good as 360 Modena with Challenge Stradale exhaust, everything else doesn't matter .....

I'm sure it'll grow on me but right now, I'm on the fence about it.

I think that name should be 398 , not 488 , or they would start naming cars with misleading names like BMW . Also , it would not be hard to mount MGU insted alternator and electric starter motor . That way thay would save weight and they could use car battery to give some boost until tubos spool up , making it a mild hybrid .

Best sounding turbo engine I've ever heard! But I can't get over those huge ugly vents in the rear wheel arches. I know they're necessary for downforce and all that, but they ruin the styling of the whole car and will date quickly. Why couldn't they of come up with a more elegant solution like they did with the F12? They make the car look like some giant dog has come along and taken gashes out of it! I like the colour of this test car though. From the video it seems to be Ferrari's traditional solid red, not the pearlescent seen on other test cars representing the company's range in recent years.
