Ferrari 488 Pista Looks Track Ready At The Geneva Motor Show
Ferrari debuted the new 488 Pista several weeks ago in late February. However, the 2018 Geneva Motor Show provides an opportunity to see this very special Prancing Horse in the real world and not just in staged press photos. Under the lights in Switzerland, it's still an absolute stunner.
Pista means track in Italian, and this explains where Ferrari intends this coupe to go. To turn quicker lap times around a circuit, the company's engineers shed 198 pounds (90 kilograms) from the standard 488 GTB, including using carbon fiber for the hood, bumpers, and rear spoiler. Optional carbon fiber wheels are 40 percent lighter than the ones on the GTB, too. The firm also introduces a new oversteer management system that allegedly makes the car easier to control at the limit.
