The 488 Pista is fast. Racetrack fast. Absurdly fast. Review by misterfleming:
The explosive 3.9-liter, twin-turbocharged motor makes 711 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque, inside a sleek body and upgraded chassis that offer the lowest power-to-weight ratio of any car Ferrari has sold to the public.
The Pista, while breathtakingly quick, accelerated smoothly, climbing through the gears seamlessly and without any discernible turbo lag. The driving experience felt race-like even when I was stuck in traffic. The tidy but not uncomfortable cockpit was equipped with minimally adjustable race seats and a racing steering wheel with paddle shifters taken from Ferrari’s 488 Challenge track car.
The Pista starts at $350,050. The model I drove was tarted up with lashings of additional track-derived options, particularly in the form of carbon-fiber parts used to replace heavier materials. From engine covers to rear diffuser, this Pista was laden with more than $50,000 in carbon-fiber parts alone. That drove the price of this model to $445,437, including delivery charges and the $1,000 gas-guzzler tax the government applies to some performance cars.
