Ferrari presenterar 488 GTB Fyrtio år efter Ferrari 308 GTB
I dag presenterar Ferrari 488 GTB - en hardcoreversion av 458 Italia för den som vill ha det där lilla extra. Och även om den inte heter 458M Turbo som ryktena först sa sitter det dubbla stressfläktar på den uppgraderade motorn.
Pressmeddelande Ferrari 488 GTB: extrem styrka för extrema körupplevelser
Maranello, den 3 februari 2015 – Fyrtio år efter Ferrari 308 GTB påbörjar den stegrande hingsten från Maranello ett nytt kapitel i sin 8-cylindershistoria. Ferrari 488 GTB åtnjuts lika gärna på racingbanan som av daily drivers. Bilens responstider, kvickhet och körning ”på gränsen” garanterar en unik känsla av lycka och helt ojämförbar körglädje. Den nya berlinettan kombinerar på ett lysande sätt Ferraris erfarenhet från både F1 och WEC, där Ferrari 458 GT innehar världsmästartiteln och har vunnit förstapris i sin klass i de två senaste upplagorna av Le Mans 24-timmarslopp. Den nya modellen utnyttjar dessutom till fullo den kunskap som Ferraris tekniker åskansat sig under det senaste decenniet genom XX-programmet.

Maranello, 3 February 2015 – Forty years on from the unveiling of its first ever mid-
rear-engined V8 model, the 308 GTB, the Prancing Horse opens a new chapter in
its 8-cylinder history. The Ferrari 488 GTB provides track-level performance that
can be enjoyed to the full even by non-professional drivers in everyday use. Its
response times, nimbleness and on-the-limit driving guarantee a unique sense of
exhilaration and unparalleled driving pleasure.
The new berlinetta brilliantly encapsulates Ferrari’s experience in both F1 and the
WEC, where the 458 GT holds the World Championship title and has won its
category in the last two editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The new model also
exploits to the full the know-how gleaned by Ferrari technicians over the last decade
through the XX programme which makes extreme track-only cars available to
gentleman test-drivers. The data yielded has made a significant contribution to the
refinement of the electronic and vehicle control systems so that drivers can make
the most of the incredible performance of this new car.
The Ferrari 488 GTB’s new 3902 cc V8 turbo is at the top of its class for power
output, torque and response times, making it the new benchmark for this kind of
architecture. The engine unleashes 670 cv at 8,000 rpm along with 760 Nm of
maximum torque in seventh gear and a response time to the accelerator of just 0.8
seconds at 2,000 rpm. These figures are sufficient to allow the Ferrari 488 GTB to
accelerate from 0-200 km/h in an astonishing 8.3 seconds and, when combined
with the radical innovations introduced on all aspects of the car’s performance, lap
the Fiorano track in just 1’23”.
The gearbox features Variable Torque Management which unleashes the engine’s
massive torque smoothly and powerfully right across the rev range, while specific
gear ratios deliver incredibly progressive acceleration when the driver floors the
throttle. As is always the case, Ferrari’s engineers have dedicated great attention to
perfecting the 488 GTB’s sound, creating a new soundtrack that is full, clear and
totally distinctive, as expected from any Prancing Horse engine.
The car’s aerodynamics also made a pivotal contribution to performance: its 1.67
efficiency figure is a new record for a production Ferrari, and is the fruit of 50 per
cent more downforce than the previous model and reduced drag. The greatest
challenge was achieving these two goals simultaneously. Several innovative
elements were specifically developed to do so, not least a double front spoiler, base
bleed side intakes and, at the rear, active aerodynamics coupled with a blown
spoiler. The aerodynamic underbody, which incorporates vortex generators, is
highly sophisticated, too.
The Ferrari 488 GTB’s subsystems and electronic controls make its power and
performance instantly available and controllable. It is, in fact, the most responsive
production model there is, with razor-sharp response times comparable to those of
a track car.
The evolved version of Ferrari’s side slip angle control system (Side Slip Control 2 -
SSC2) is more precise and less invasive, providing greater longitudinal acceleration
out of corners. Aside from integrating with car’s F1-Trac and E-Diff, the SSC2 now
also controls the active dampers which renders the car’s dynamic behaviour during
complex manoeuvres even flatter and more stable.
Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the new car features very sculptural flanks
which are the key to its character. Its large signature air intake scallop is a nod to
the original 308 GTB and is divided into two sections by a splitter. The wide front
spoiler features a double profile to improve the thermal efficiency of the radiators
positioned at the sides. At the centre two pylons are combined with a deflector
which channels air towards the flat underbody. The broad, low tail is also
dominated by aerodynamic solutions, including an innovative blown spoiler which
generates downforce without increasing drag. This works in conjunction with an
aggressive ramp angle for the diffuser which features active flaps. The greater height
required for the diffuser was achieved by repositioning the exhaust tailpipes. The
circular LED tail lights have also been redesigned.
In the cabin, the seamless integration of the new satellite control clusters, angled
air vents and instrument panel heightens the sense that the cockpit is completely
tailored around the driver. Usability was the key word in the design, leading to an
extremely sporty ambience that in no way compromises on comfort. There are
plenty of classic Ferrari styling elements too, such as the clear separation between
the dashboard and tunnel, the multifunctional steering wheel, the control switch
bridge and wraparound seats. The graphics and interface of the infotainment
screen have also been completely redesigned while the design of the car’s new key
takes its inspiration from the car’s cylinder banks and allows keyless starts.
The Ferrari 488 GTB will make its world debut at the International Geneva Motor
Show in March, but from today can be seen at www.ferrari.com.
