Overview

The 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista makes for an excellent contender in the coupe segment. With a single trim on offer, the 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista retails for an MSRP of $330,000 competing directly with the McLaren 720S, the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, and the Lamborghini Huracan EVO. Only a 3.9L Twin-Turbocharged V8 engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 711 horsepower and 567 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, the Ferrari 488 Pista maintains a combined fuel economy of 17 MPG. Ferrari Offers the 488 Pista in 14 stunning colors, with the Rosso Scuderia being a particular favorite of ours. 

Buying Advice

With only one trim available, there isn't much to choose from. Be sure, however, to install all driver assistance and infotainment features you might need.
