Overview

The 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe segment. With a single trim on offer, the Ferrari 488 GTB Coupe has a base MSRP of $249,150, competing directly with the Lamborghini Huracan Coupe, the Mclaren 650S Coupe, and the Aston Martin DB9 Coupe. Only a 3.9L twin-turbocharged V8 engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Together, they produce 661 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, the 488 GTB Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG. Ferrari offers the 488 GTB Coupe in 26 stunning colors, with the Tour De France Blu Met322 being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB Coupe is an artistically crafted supercar providing exceptional performance. It is a standalone trim while there are plenty of customization options offered by the brand. We would recommend spending $6,000 on the front and rear parking cameras.
