Design & Features
The Ferrari 488 GTB isn’t just a pretty face. The body has been designed to increase downforce and improve aerodynamics. At first glance, it may appear to be an evolution of the 458’s design, but the 488 boasts of a 50% increase in downforce over its predecessor. The tail has been designed such that the 488 GTB does not require an external rear wing. It gets signature Ferrari headlamps and taillamps, and 20-inch alloys.
The interior is, again, typically Ferrari with a driver-centric cockpit. Most of the controls are mounted on the steering wheel including the Manettino dial, which helps you select between five driving modes. Ferrari offers unlimited customization options, right from the materials used to the colour of the stitching.
The 488 GTB becomes the fifth addition to the Ferrari range in India, which includes the F12 Berlinetta, FF, 458 Speciale and the California T. As such, the Ferrari 488 GTB’s main rival in India is the Lamborghini Huracan, which is priced at INR 2.99-3.43 Cr.
