For Sale at Auction: 2019 Ferrari 488 in Las Vegas, Nevada

Chassis No. ZFF90HLA2K0246109

Since 2003, Ferrari has offered track-focused variants of its V8 models that embody the essence of their racing counterparts. These special series emphasize reduced weight, increased power, and enhanced rigidity, drawing from the Ferrari Challenge and FIA GT Championships. Notable examples include the 360 Challenge Stradale, 430 Scuderia, 458 Speciale, and, introduced in 2018, the 488 Pista-Italian for "Track."

The track-ready evolution of the 488 would continue the practice of adapting racing innovations and aerodynamics for road use, taking inspiration from its 488 Challenge and 488 GTE racing siblings. These included a Formula 1-derived S-Duct, GTE-style rear diffuser, and enlarged "dolphin-tail" rear spoiler, improving downforce over the 488 GTB by a claimed 20 percent.

Underneath the Lexan rear window rested a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged V8-a configuration not seen since the legendary F40. Improvements over the standard 488, including repositioned air intakes and an enlarged intercooler, yielded a remarkable 50-horsepower increase and made it "the most powerful V8 engine in the Maranello marque's history." Inside, a sparse, carbon-fiber-laden interior lacked sound deadening, contributing to some 198 pounds in weight savings and a visceral experience behind the wheel. This translated directly to on-track performance, with the Pista lapping Ferrari's Fiorano test track in 1:21.5-two seconds faster than the 458 Speciale.

This highly optioned 488 Pista is finished in radiant Giallo Modena. The paint is complemented by a two-tone Blu America and Argento N�rburgring livery stripe, a staggering $32,904 option. Its livery is completed by yellow brake calipers, black tailpipe tips, and Scuderia Ferrari fender shields. Carbon fiber was specified throughout the exterior, including the front flaps, front air vents, side air splitters, engine covers, rear diffuser, under-door covers, and rear molding.

Inside, occupants are held firmly in place by large carbon fiber racing seats, their deep bolsters trimmed in Nero Alcantara with Giallo leather details and contrast stitching, while Cavallini stitched in Giallo adorn the headrests. A racing seat lifter, yellow rev counter, and matte-finish carbon fiber for the instrument cover, inner sills, and upper center console complete the cabin. While the 488 Pista is clearly at home on the track, this superb example offers many welcome luxury amenities. These include a suspension lifter, parking camera, adaptive frontlight system, Radionavi system with Bluetooth, and an integrated audio system. In all, the window sticker lists $134,123 in options.

The accompanying digital window sticker notes that the car was dispatched to PF Automobile Dealers Inc. in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report shows that it was later registered in Manitoba from 2022 through 2025. After brief registrations in Alberta and Ontario in 2026, including a visit for service in North York, Ontario, the car entered the United States this September.

Today, chassis number 246109 is offered in superb, like-new condition with just 405 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Barely broken in and presented in a truly breathtaking specification, this is surely one of the finest and most collectible 488 Pistas in the world.
