2016 FERRARI 488 GTB

KEY FACTS

• A thrilling mid-engined V8 supercar, presented in an ever-popular colour scheme and with a number of desirable factory options.
• Under the engine lid is the spectacular 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8, which produces 661bhp and 561lb ft of torque, driving the rear wheels via the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shift.
• A left-hand drive example, this 488 was first registered in January 2016 and imported into the UK in December that year, when it was re-registered with the DVLA.
• It remains covered by the Ferrari service plan package until September 2022.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 488 is finished in the iconic Ferrari colour of Rosso Corsa over a Nero leather-trimmed interior with red accent stitching.
• Optional equipment includes directional AFS headlights, a front suspension lifter, front and rear parking sensors and a rear parking camera.
• The front wings are punctuated by recessed Scuderia shields, and the side skirts and rear diffuser are hewn from carbon-fibre, which also appears on the inner sill covers and the steering wheel, which is equipped with LED shift lights.
• The car rides on a set of 20-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, which are finished in gloss black.
• This 488 will be accompanied by its stamped service book.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• The Rosso Corsa paintwork is believed to be fully original and is in good overall condition, with a bright and glossy appearance around the car, and a few minor blemishes including stone chips on the front bumper and the leading edge of the bonnet, a small chip on the rear edge of the driver’s door, and flaked paint in a few places around the wheel arches. The paintwork has also flaked off on one of the front parking sensors.
• Inside, the cabin is in great shape, and while there is some light wear on the driver’s seat’s outer bolster this is in line with the car’s low mileage.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 29 June 2021 at 11,335 miles, resulting in a first-time pass, with an ineffective nearside front windscreen wiper blade listed as a minor defect, while advisories were issued for wear on the edges of both rear tyres.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This 488’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in July 2021 at 11,431 miles by main dealer Stratstone Ferrari, Wilmslow, which the vendor will provide additional details of in due course.
• Prior to this, services were performed by HR Owen Ferrari, London.
• The car remains under the Ferrari service pack until September 2022.
