Not a '19, but I purchased a 2018 488 Spider last May. I've doubled its mileage to ~8000 in the 10 months since I bought it, and driven two track...
I respectfully disagree. I could have bought whatever Ferrari I wanted. I wanted a modern mid-engined supercar, and I test-drove a lot of cars....
I went for the Arai GP-6RC carbon full-face helmet for tracking my 488 Spider. My thinking was overall safety coupled with lightness, and I never...
The brakes on my 488 Spider sound absolutely horrendous after even a couple of 20 minute sessions on the track - not just a squeal, more of a...
Short answer is, unfortunately, no. I disconnected the battery if I was going to be away for more than a few days; this was fine, apart from the...
Depends what I'm doing. On the track, tyres on the left, digital speedo on the right. On the road, usually digital speedo on the left, satnav on...
I agree, it's definitely more exotic and I put my deposit down because I'd love to support the brand. As a ~£60k manual with decent performance...
Same here - 488 Spider (UK RHD) - front left tyre consistently reads up to 5C hotter than the other, especially with spirited driving; rears are...
I'm seeing more information that the price of the V6 might not be quite so attractive as first thought: looks like £75,000 - £85,000, which is a...
That JPS looks amazing! If only this could be real. I put my deposit down today - I'm going for the 3.5l V6 with manual box. Haven't decided on...
Does it go away when accelerating? If so, it's almost certainly the brake prefill. When you lift off the accelerator, the calipers move closer in...
I have no idea where the market will be in two years' time. I recently bought my first Ferrari - a 488 Spider - and I must say I find the Ferrari...
That's my thread re: the portable battery pack. So far it's worked ok for me, but it's a much smaller capacity bank than the one you have so I...
Thanks guys - I'll stop looking for the MPG info then! It's not the overall MPG I'm interested in, it's how it changes with different types of...
Yes, I looked at solar, but the garage is in a conservation area so panels need planning permission. However, I am only renting the garage, so...
In a way, no but I am interested in all the stats on my cars. This is a big one that is absent compared to my 911s. Hah - I hope so! Fuel...
Hey, new 488 Spider owner here - my first Ferrari and I absolutely love it! Just wondering though - I can't find anything in the menus that...
Yes, good point - and I wanted to try using a timer to switch on the charger for an hour or two per day to try to maintain the battery for up to...
Just joined the forum - thanks for the wealth of information here - it's been so helpful and I wanted to contribute some data which may be useful...
