Vehicle Description
The Ferrari 488 Spider was introduced in 2015 to replace the
previous 458 Italia. The 488 GTB was named "The Supercar of the
Year 2015" by car magazine Top Gear, as well as becoming Motor
Trend's 2017 "Best Driver's Car". Powered by a 3.9 Liter
all-aluminum dry sump unit Turbocharged with two parallel
ball-bearing twin-scroll turbochargers with air-to-air intercoolers
and compressor wheels made of low-density TiAl alloy often used in
jet engines to reduce inertia and resist high temperatures within
the turbocharger. The engine produces 661 HP and 561 lbft of torque
allowing a 0-60MPH sprint in a neck snapping 2.7 Seconds. The body
of the 488 has been designed to increase downforce by 50% over the
458 while reducing aerodynamic drag. A new front double splitter
serves two functions: increasing radiator cooling by forcing air
into them and also channeling the air over the underbody vortex
generators to create ground effect without adding unwanted drag. A
newly designed blown rear spoiler (actually a slotted flap)
integrated into the rear decklid and bumper increases downforce
without requiring a raised wing. The central "Aero Pillar" deflects
air under the flat body of the car while two vents in the bonnet
provide an exit for air from the dual intakes of the front bumper,
further reducing air pressure over the front of the car. Underbody
vortex generators work to reduce air pressure beneath the car
thereby increasing overall downforce. A larger rear diffuser works
to increase the velocity of air exiting the underbody to further
lower air pressure, in conjunction with active aerodynamic variable
flaps that both reduce drag and increase downforce as controlled by
a microprocessor. The increased size of the diffuser over the
previous 458 requires the twin exhausts of the 488 to be positioned
higher in the rear bumper for clearance. The scalloped side air
intakes are a homage to those found on the 308 GTB,10 and are
divided by a central partition. Air entering the top intake is
partially directed into the turbocharger compressor intake, while
the rest is directed through the rear of the car and exits
alongside the rear lights, increasing air pressure behind the car
in order to reduce aerodynamic drag. Airflow entering the lower
intake is directed towards the intercoolers in order to cool the
intake charge. Even the door handles - dubbed 'shark fins' - are
shaped in a way which improves airflow by cleaning and funneling
air into the large intakes above the rear wheels. The Ferrari 488
was designed by Flavio Manzoni and won the Red Dot "Best of the
Best" awards for Product Design in 2016. The 488 Spider boasts a
folding hardtop, just like its predecessor and is only 110LBS
heavier than its coupe sibling, and 22LBS lighter than the 458
Spider. This Stallion is Finished in Special-Order Rosso Fiorano
over Cioccolato full leather interior with red stitch. It has 2,557
miles registered and is absolutely pristine. Complete with all of
its Factory Accessories including window sticker, car cover,
battery tender, books and tools and two sets of keys. Protected
