I definitely exaggerated the speed difference between the two . I've run one from 80-300kn the autobahn and while the ff is faster it's not what one would think.
Found a couple more new videos with from runs at Fiorano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0xz3oJGa70 (skip to 2:31) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja4sI49vu3s For a turbo, the sound isn't bad. But it is definitely NOT anywhere near what we are accustomed to, sadly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6jCYgf-_Ks bad sound fo Ferrari AUDI RS4 sounds better than 488 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-h7mWIpAHE .
I can't wait to hear a straight pipe/decatted etc video but it will be a long time. Actually, open offer to any future 488 owner who decides to get a custom exhaust system as close to straight pipe as possible $400 for a good quality video !
Yes. Aftermarket exhaust. Armytrix cat-back variable? Whatever that is. We have an S4 2014 and it does not sound that good...even in dynamic mode. Rs4 does not come to US and is an estate (aka station wagon). We also have a RS5 2015 and it does not sound that good but much better than the S4.
I think these are GREAT shots of it. The front end looks like the LaFerrari big time and the side scoops are minimized with the oblique angle. Cant wait for the GTS!
Some pictures from the reveal I attended last night. One thing to note: extremely highly specced car, dripping carbon, non standard seats, carbon engine bay, carbon side sills, carbon door panels, carbon front splitter. Must say the side intake is must less offensive in person than it is in pictures. One thing I don't like is the door handle, very bulky design and oddly placed. Another thing I didn't particularly like was the cheap feeling plastic around the rear lights, I am sure this will be available in carbon at some stage! Overall its a stunning car, not sure this colour really did it any favours but having said that I walked past a 458 and its still unbelievable beautiful, in no way does the 488 overshadow that car, well in my opinion at least. Actually looking at the side profile one is reminded in some ways of the side profile of the 308!

Thanks for the great photos! Assuming those are the entry level wheels, you sure see a lot of the 'underwear' through the spokes, and i'm guessing they are very lightweight
Great set of photos. Car looks better in these than in any others I've seen so far. Thanks for posting.
+1. Great photos of the car. I that color favors the 488 GTB very well. At the NYC event you couldn't even get a look at the car with all the crowd around it. Thanks for posting these.
