Rent Ferrari 488 Pista in Europe

The Ferrari 488 Pista is Maranello's V8 powerhouse – and on paper, its most extreme. Not even predecessors like the 360 Challenge Stradale, 430 Scuderia, or 458 Speciale turned the dial up this far. With more track technology than any road-going Ferrari before it, and the brand's most-powerful V8 underhood. The glory of the Ferrari 488 Pista is not the fact that it is even more incredible to drive on a track than the regular 488. It’s that this sharper focus at the top of the performance window has not come through any sacrifice of usability at lower speeds. It’s pure folly, of course, but also one of the most complete supercars that we’ve ever driven.

488 Pista Performance

We aren't talking about your average supercar when it comes to the 488 Pista. Simply put, it's the feather in Ferrari's cap. Launching from 0-62 mph in just 2.85 seconds is not an achievement that many can lay claim to. The 488 Pista can, and the run is on par with the Lamborghini Huracan Performante's 2.9-second achievement. Ferrari's track hero is marginally slower than the new McLaren 765LT's 2.7-second run. At full tilt, the 488 Pista will reach a top speed of over 211 mph according to Ferrari. The staggering acceleration is attributable to the twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 and an expertly engineered launch control system that makes it hard to believe that you're piloting a rear-wheel-drive supercar. Imagine holding onto the Engine of the Year award for four consecutive years among the greats from McLaren and Porsche. The dry-sump 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 that makes itself at home in the middle of the 488 Pista has done just that. When we put the engine next to that of the 488 GTB, around 50 percent of the parts are brand new. Among the 50 percent is a lighter crankshaft and flywheel, and more aggressive cams that work with shorter intake runners. An Inconel exhaust cuts down on backpressure and weighs around 20 pounds less in comparison to the 488 GTB's setup. The result of the improved engineering is a V8 that produces 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque, beating the Huracan Performante's 631 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque but falls slightly behind the McLaren 765LT's 755 horses and 590 lb-ft. A seven-speed dual-clutch F1 transmission navigates gears intuitively and precisely. First and second gear pass by so fast that they're easy to miss if you aren't paying close attention, but the good news is that the 488 holds onto power long after the first redline shifts.

488 Pista Interior

The cabin of the 488 Pista is swathed in leather, suede and carbon fiber. It's relatively spartan when modern conveniences are considered, but it's still deluxe. Ferrari has made it clear that the Pista is meant purely for the track and not for everyday comfort with this 488 in particular, but we find that the 488 Pista can be lived with as a daily companion if you're the right kind of performance enthusiast. Still, enough features are present for the comfort of occupants and the cabin is surprisingly more spacious than the average two-door supercar. As we've said, the cabin of the 488 Pista is surprisingly spacious for a two-door supercar and six-footers are highly unlikely to find discomfort from the inside. Standard carbon racing seats are lightweight and well-bolstered to embrace occupants through the tightest of corners.
