Based on the Ferrari 488 GTB, the 488 Pista was developed using technology and experience gained from Ferrari’s 488 Challenge and 488 GTE racing programs. Named after the Italian word for “track,” the Pista is one of Ferrari’s most track-focused road cars, combining race-derived engineering with everyday usability.
Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 producing 711 horsepower, making it the most powerful Ferrari V8 of its era. The engine delivers rapid throttle response and propels the car from 0–62 mph in 2.85 seconds. Extensive weight-saving measures and advanced aerodynamics—including the front S-Duct, a 488 GTE-inspired rear diffuser, and a fixed rear wing—help generate up to 529 pounds of downforce at 124 mph.
Offered for sale on Bring a Trailer, this 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista has covered only 2,998 miles since new and presents in outstanding condition. Originally configured with approximately $68,000 in factory options, it features an Extracampionario Nero leather interior, carbon-fiber racing seats, a front suspension-lift system, Adaptive Frontlight System (AFS) headlights, a rear-view camera, navigation, and numerous carbon-fiber interior accents.
Finished in iconic Rosso Corsa with Argento Nürburgring racing stripes, the car rides on 20-inch ten-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli performance tires. The chassis benefits from Ferrari’s SCM-E magnetorheological suspension system along with the optional front lift feature. Stopping power comes from ceramic-composite brake discs paired with Nero Lucido-finished multi-piston calipers at all four corners.
Extensive carbon-fiber components further emphasize the car’s lightweight, track-focused character, including the front flaps, air vents, side air splitters, engine cover, and rear diffuser. Additional carbon-fiber trim extends to the under-door panels, floor plates, inner sills, and center tunnel, while Alcantara upholstery enhances both the seats and rear shelf.
Alongside Ferrari’s signature Manettino steering-wheel controls, the cabin is equipped with Apple CarPlay, the AFS lighting system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and rear parking sensors, creating a balance of race-bred performance and modern comfort.
