Ferrari's engineers have dedicated great focus on perfecting the 488 GTB's sound, making a fresh soundtrack which is completely distinguishing, clear and complete, as expected from any Prancing Horse engine as is always the situation.

The best challenge was reaching both of these targets concurrently. Several advanced components were specially developed to achieve this, not least base bleed side intakes, a double front spoiler and, in the back, energetic aerodynamics coupled using a spoiler that was blown. The aerodynamic underbody, which integrates vortex generators, is tremendously complex, also.

Aerodynamic alternatives also dominate the wide, low tail, including an advanced blown spoiler which creates downforce. Repositioning the exhaust tailpipes reached the higher height needed for the diffuser. The ring-shaped LED tail lights are also redesigned.

In the cottage, the seamless integration of instrument panel, angled air ports and the recent satellite control bunches heightens the awareness the cockpit is totally tailored round the motorist.
