    Well, it would sound better than the 488; it's NA after all.
    Regarding comfort, Ferraris have their trick dampers that allow them to be both comfy and flat through turns at the same time. Porsche lags behind in that department.

    who better to introduce the 488 GTO in an intro video, then the ultimate Ferrari badass Kimi Raikkonen......if they make this car then they need the Iceman to deliver such a badass Nomad Ferrari. This ain't the Enzo/ 430 Scuderia Schumacher Ferrari folks. This is the new iceman era, F12 tdf, LaFerrari, 488 GTO.......

    So true. The first comment I always get from passengers in my Speciale is how comfy the ride is. Everyone expects it to be harsh, and it's not. My 2015 GT3 has a ride that's more harsh than the Speciale.

    I wish the laFerrari was the fastest in its segment... unfortunately that isn't the case.

    I have a sneaky suspicion that the 488 GTO will be faster around a track then the Laferrari. At the very least I think it will match the track times of the Laferrari.

    Same with the 812 Superfast VS(whenever it comes out) It will be like when the 430 Scuderia and 599 GTO could match or surpass the Enzo......

    I truly do believe that the 488 GTO will be a next level beast like the F12 tdf was when it came out.

    It has to be and it has to be better than the GT2RS and 720 in many respects.

    i could have gotten the GT2RS but gave back the allocation, waiting for the 488GTO.

    not on the testing that I have seen... but obviously some cars perform better on certain tracks than others.
