A Ferrari 488 GTB sporting a more aggressive nose
has been snapped, hinting at what might be to come in the hotter 488 ‘Speciale’
when it arrives. The image, posted by ‘Supercar Advocates’ on Facebook, shows
two 488s sitting side-by-side in a garage, with one car covered by white
stickers.
As you can see, the left-hand car is finished in the
traditional Ferrari red, and wears a front bumper that looks similar to that of
the 458 Speciale. We can’t tell you much about the car because, well, there are
no real details available, but there are a few bets we’re willing to make about
the car, based on previous special editions.
For one, it should be lighter than the regular car:
the 458 Speciale weighed 90 kg less than the Italia. Expect to see more power,
too, given both the 458 Speciale and F430 Scuderia offered 35 Hp and 20 Hp over
their more mundane brethren respectively.
No special-edition Ferrari would be
complete without some serious aerodynamic trickery. The last limited-run
production Prancing Horse, the F12 tdf, combined rear-wheel steering with a new
splitter, dive planes, floor wings and rear spoiler.
