Overview

The 2017 Ferrari 488 GTB Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe class. With just one trim on offer, the Ferrari 488 GTB has a base MSRP of $252,800, competing directly with the Lamborghini Huracan, the Audi R8, and the Aston Martin Vanquish. Only a 3.9L twin-turbocharged V8 engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 660 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3 seconds, the 488 GTB maintains a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG. Ferrari offers the 488 GTB in 26 stunning colors, with the Rosso Scuderia being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice
