    My friend and I enjoy doing our own maintainces and planning on doing same for my newly acquired pista. I looked under the car tonight and I'm bit confused as to which jack points to use with my quickjack.
    I'm attaching 3 pictures. First pic appears to be the lifting point for the front. On the rear, I presumably see 2 lift points? Which point do I use? The 3rd pic depicts one of rear jacking points, which is further in, and I've seen on YouTube videos of 488 on 4 posts lift utilizing this jacking point. But if I use this lifting pint, my quickjack won't be parellelwith my front lift point. But if I use the jacking point depicted in pic two, the quickjack will be parallel. But just not sure if I can utilize this 2nd rear jacking point that is parallel to the front point. Help would be greatly appreciated!

    the owners manual shows the 2 jack points in the “advice for emergency situations” section. The third photo is not shown as a jack point in the manual.

    I believe your first two pics are correct Jack points for a lift (including quickjack) - the third pic is for a Jack stand or a spot for a floorjack when manually raising the car.

    I'm leaning towards using the 2 parallel points on the front and rear, pics 1 and 2. But what throws me off is the fact that I've seen countless 488 YT videos utilizing the the inner rear point on 4 post lift. I'm just thinking if the inner point is more stable in terms of weight distribution since our engine is in the back center? I don't know if I'm making any sense here
