The Ferrari 488 GTB is the latest in a glorious line of mid-engined V8 coupes to roll out of the Maranello gates. It shares plenty in common with its predecessor, the 458, but the big change comes from the way it delivers its power. That’s because the 488 is the first mid-engined production Ferrari since the iconic F40 to feature turbocharging. But has the new power unit taken away from the experience, or does this feel just as special as any other Ferrari? I find out by putting the 488 through an in-depth road test.

In perspective….. this Ferrari is way too much car fot Matt, but it’s like a Fiat Panda to Vettel. Let me just digest that for a moment.
Go Let sy your porsche
Im so happy i got this car las year!!!! I’am a neurosurgeon
wish they had the three exhausts, not two tho
I like his shirt what’s that brand ?
You r too funny.
You have to be in good mood always .
I think Honda NSX much better than this particular ferrari…
If you get an orange Ferrari, you’re a mug
No armrest?? Naaah
What people fail to understand is that a Ferrari is not an SUV ..so why the flip would it need to fit 3 ppl in the back it’s a sports carrrrr ppl!!!!
Best review of the 488 yet. 🙂
Ferrari got skeeted
no n/a V12? Next…
The lads on the traffic light were pointing out the lack of size over certain department being compensated with the vehicle…
I think I get what the pinky means, great car but seems driver is compensating for something down south.
the pinky finger thing means posh probably, just like drinking with your pinky finger sticking out
Why they r loosing to Lambos
i prefer cars like the huracan perfermonte and the 720s, the 720s just beats this car at acceleration by like a second, for the same price, (and better looks), the huracan perfermante is also muh faster, not 720s fast but i also think that the huracan looks better to EDIT: ok mabe not a second faster
You didn’t mention water bottle storage – this is key when I’m buying a car.. Im torn between a 488 or a Ford Focus… The key decision factor being; how much 1 or 2 litre water bottle storage do I have (other than the foot well – which most people use)…?
i love your reviews , you just do it sooooooo right and not wasting time.
6:25 its because English Londoners are too low class for Ferrari’s.
bad color choice.
Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh sort of like that
The 488 has no storage space, bad mileage, only 2 seats and it can’t go offroading. I’d take a Pruis over this thing anyday…jk jk
PLEASE DO LAMBORGHINI HURACAN REVIEW
Yeah its brilliant car
Unfortunately its Brown
National speed limit is variable.
Shit interior….
interior is only reason I would not buy this. Interior isnt very nice imo
Should i buy this or a Lamborghini aventador
Price please
I actually dont like the color
Hi Mat,
It would be awesome to see you do a drag race between Ferrari 488 and Pinnagle
I really like the rear of the car
BUT i dont like the front of the car
It somehow looks like a strech-faced frog…
The carbon ceramic brakes do that noise because they are made for heavy use, if they are used slightly then they will produce this noise. They are meant for the track 3:)
My favourite car reviewer in all of the internet
Speaking of ‘scary Ferrari’, try the F12 and switch all the driving mode buttons off and see how scary it really is.
No arm rest?
The red engine clashes terribly with that orange paintwork. Id rather have it in yellow or red, im boring, and… too poor to afford it anyway 😀
That colour looks stupid
lol i think he though you had a small wiener lol
Top speed 202 mph? Srsly
Test
Oh, I want this car.
