Vehicle Description
This 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB Challenge factory race car is powered by
an 8-cylinder 3.9-liter turbocharged V8 engine with 670hp, paired
with a 7-speed DCT Formula 1 automatic transmission. The engine is
the first turbo engine in the history of the Ferrari one-make
series, and the only one since the F40. In addition to the
horsepower development, the 488 adapts new technology for Ferrari,
including Side Slip Control, which helps plant the car under corner
acceleration and avoids performance losses caused by rear axle
skidding. Manettino controls mounted directly on the steering wheel
help control braking, traction and the electronic rear
differential. Aerodynamic changes to the car help add 5 to 10% more
downforce and efficiency over the previous Challenge car
generation. At just over 2,900 pounds dry weight, the 488 GTB
Challenge is the lightest and most powerful Challenge car ever
developed by Ferrari. In a 2021 article discussing the 488
Challenge, Road & Track stated that only 150 cars had been built,
breaking down to roughly 25 cars per production year. Specifically,
this 488 has been thoroughly serviced by Norwood Auto Italia in
Carrolton, TX, whose technicians commonly crew for the Ferrari
Challenge Corse Clienti program. The car was sold new for $345,187
and delivered on September 30, 2017. It was recently fully
serviced, added new tires and a full detail. **NOT STREET LEGAL**
