  • Top Speed: 205 mph
  • 0 – 60: 3.0 seconds

While it takes its name from the 308 GTB (for Gran Turismo Berlinetta), the 488 GTB represented a significant step forward from the 308 with the 3.9L twin-turbo that’s become the staple of the 488 models and taken home multiple awards — including earning International Engine of the Year more than once.

An F1-inspired double spoiler and power hardtop transform the 488 GTB into an open-air performance machine. Feel the wind in your hair as you hear that engine roar, whether you’re on the track or the highway.
