It is easy to be forgotten in the car world where so many new cars are released on what feels like a daily basis, but the Ferrari 488 GTB doesn't deserve to be forgotten. It is just as special as any Ferrari and in this video, I explain why! Oh, and we also do a bit of childish revving!

Great commentary on this car. I have a 488 spyder and I love it! The performance is amazing. The engine note is awesome in my opinion. (I don’t want to wake up the neighbors when I do a early drive). Styling is classic (maybe even timeless) and just beautiful. I would have to say what I like best about this car is its dual nature. I can drive it slow, calm and it is comfortable. Its not like a GT car, but some kind of highly tuned luxury ride. Cool and calm. Then the road opens up, or you come up on a tunnel…. You slap the paddles, dropping a few gears, smash the gas, and the thing turns into a raging monster! At these moments you are just hanging on for dear life as this beast pushes the road further behind you. The next county comes fast. It is a real beast! It is so exciting! Balanced, smooth, raw, scary. I have really fallen in love with the car. I’m sure the 458, F8 etc are also amazing cars. But are they a lot better? I just can’t believe they are worth another 100K or more. The 488 is the bargain ferrari that deserves way more attention. IMO. :).

@carcaveofficial 9 месяцев назад

I agree with you 100%. I remember when it came out originally, I was obsessed, but it’s day in the light was short lived when the Pista came out and everyone jumped on that bandwagon. As a performance car, I think the 488 GTB is magnificent, and truly deserving of more attention and recognition. Who knows, with Ferrari going for the V6, maybe the 488 will have its day in the light again. Thanks for sharing your experience! Always great reading from another enthusiast!

@imamfn Год назад

Both the 488 and F8 are immaturely short-lived. The 488 was lasted for 4 years and the Pista variant came too soon causing there's so few people buying the GTB or regular Spider. And the F8 doesn't even have its special version before the launch of 296

@BruceRosenblatt Год назад

Awesome review. The styling of the 488 gtb is timeless and will never go out of style. I totally agree with everything you said. When compared to the F8 the current prices are a relative bargain. And now the F8 is done with production.

@carcaveofficial Год назад

I wonder what the F8 is going to do on the market now that production is done, and better still, will it spike the pricing on the 488GTB? Who knows, time will tell. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video!

Still my favorite Ferrari to the day, timeless elegance and perfect proportions of all the mythical saga of the great v8's like the f355 , f40, gto, 348... The F8 is also a work of art but in my opinion is like a vigorexic sportscar. The 488 GTB is the apex v8 Ferrari in my book

@carcaveofficial 4 месяца назад

Timeless Elegance is a great way of describing this car.

@@carcaveofficialThanks , great video too. In my opinion Ferraris are always something else in their design language, true artworks of engineering and design. Congratulations to every single person involved in the creation of the 488GTB and the manufacturing of each one of its units.

@carcaveofficial 8 месяцев назад

Thank you sir. That is a tough call, very different cars I think. The 488 would be such a gem to have in the garage and for cruising, I think the GT3RS would make more sense if you plan on tracking it regularly.

@carcaveofficial 9 месяцев назад

They are magnificent, and I wish they had more recognition that they do. I have a deep seeded love for the 458 as the first Ferrari I ever drove, but the 488 is arguably, a better Supercar.

@schubert5624 9 месяцев назад

@@carcaveofficial it's just not getting the reviews and so much talks. Everyone has a ton of respect for it. The Pista is revered even is the F8 is the same car and probably my favorite of the newer V8s. It was hard for me to admit, but the 488 is a little better than the 458 in every way less the sound. I have an aftermarket two stage system on mine now, which sounds pretty crazy.

@carcaveofficial 9 месяцев назад

The aftermarket exhaust on the 488 defiantly helps, and it has always been a touchy point for me when they say the Ferrari doesn't sound good. It is still a Ferrari, and it still sounds amazing, even with the aftermarket exhaust. I have never driven a Ferrari and felt disappointed, so in my book, its a car I want in my garage as soon as this RU-vid channel kicks off!

488 IS the forgotten middle child in between the 458 and F8. Can’t help it, history always repeats. Also, F8 won’t be the last V8. The SF90 line of car will continue that heritage.

Ahhh, that’s a good point, I should have said it will be the last…mid engined…v8…non hybrid Ferrari? That’s a mouthful!

The 488 is an amazing car with amazing performance . But , it had big shoes to fill being the successor to the 458 which is also an amazing car

@carcaveofficial 6 месяцев назад

It really did, and it had the challenge of being the first to go Turbo, so it was already at a disadvantage. Never the less, I think it is a brilliant supercar, and one that shouldn't be overlooked.

@@carcaveofficial of course, the first mid engine turbocharged car since the F40 I believe, I’m yet to see a negative review of the 488, I’ve been lucky enough to ride in both the 458 and 488 and I think the 488 is an amazing car. Some people say it lacks the “feel” of a Ferrari but I disagree

Out of 4 gate-crashing Ferraris at our last Porsche c&c, 3 were 488s. Although anecdotal, your premise seems thin.
