Ferrari 488 GTB - Geneva auto show

I think this video is showing it in its best light so far...I am warming up to it..a bit.

 

I guess I am in the minority, I love it!

I know once I see it in person it will be even better....

 

Any UK pricing released as yet?

 

488 reviewed here at the end of the article:
2015 Geneva Motor Show Hits, Misses and Revelations

 

"The current production Ferrari road cars strike me as not too aspirational -- just fashion accessories, sold like Ferrari caps, watches and purses in the boutiques. Not aspirational in the way racing-related V-12s were."

This cheap hit strikes me as not too aspirational. Is this what auto journalists call insightful?

 

Good details about the aero at the back of the car, though I think they meant to show the new Ford GT (in lieu of old GT40) to illustrate the similarities regarding the air flow inboard of the rear wheels to the rear.

He missed the adjustable diffuser, though (as seen in the official video) and most likely some active aero at the front too,

 

Nice car but i am into old ones but is nie

 

Best pics so far here:

Is there a passenger display above the glovebox ?

 

Is there any additional information on other new features? For example, I understand the car will finally have keyless entry and start.

 

As is usually the case, as more photos start being posted, the design seems to become more appealing. Never pays to offer too quick an opinion. Really starting to like the side vent/scoop, which at first glance seemed out of place. In the flesh I predict this will win over most sceptics. Amazing performance numbers....

 

Agreed, thx for sharing!!

 

You mean like the 612?

But I agree 100% with you.

IMHO

 

Totally. The red color seemed to de-emphasize the scoop shape.

 

Can you trust an automotive writer who doesn't know the difference between Cameron Glickenhaus and Jim Glickenhaus?

 

The term ' auto journalist' is more often than not,an oxymoron

 

Is it the rims design that confuses me, or is it just me who thinks the car "needs" a bit larger rims?

 

Silver looks better from every angle.

Thanks for posting

 

Just curious, but did anyone notice which shoes they were wearing? It looks to me as if they are using F12 size rubber on the red one.

 

As a 458 owner I wish I hated the design of the 488GTB. Unfortunately I like it!! Damn!

 

Haha, totally get it! I actually love it now!

 

As we have discussed, the future may be tied more to weight than hp, but as we (all) presumably realize Mclaren is in the race and its new 675LT weighs on 2,711lbs while delivering 666 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque . Best

 

hallo everybody. this will be my first post in this forum.

i just left the exhibition area here in geneva, going home by train. my ferrari dealer had some time to show some featerures of the new 488. so i can answer some of your questions.

there will be a keyless start system, but no keyless entry.

there will be also a passenger display available like in the f12.

i havn't noticed any acitve aerodynamic components at the front. everything seems to be solid. where the hell do they want to fix the license plate?

there are al lot of cf components to order for good cash, inside and outside. the grey 488 is almost fully specd.

prices start from aprox. chf 250'000.

i like the new 488 and it looks better in real than on pics. but i am happy to get one of the last speciales in june 2015.

 

Red will hide it in photographs — red is one of the most difficult colors to accurately capture.

 

starting to grow on me,
looking very good,
