Lighter and more sophisticated
The Name is program: "Pista", so the slope, respectively, of the route, refers to the fact that this Ferrari 488 should be close to the racing as none of his predecessors.

The bonnet, the bumpers and the rear spoiler are made of carbon fiber. From formula 1, the frontal "S-Duct", he should provide even more contact pressure. The rear diffuser has the same double fold line, such as at 488 GTE, the rear spoiler has been enlarged in its dimensions. Result: 20% more pressure than that of the 488 GTB.

The turbocharger will be moved from the side to the area of the rear spoiler, to benefit from a cooler and cleaner air flow.
