Ferrari 488 GTB makes its debut in New
Delhi
 488 GTB boasts a sleek new design, turbo engine,
revolutionary aerodynamics and a plethora of
patented solutions
 Power output (670 cv) with engine and command
response times of just 0.8 and 0.06 seconds
respectively
New Delhi, 17 February 2016 – The eagerly-awaited Ferrari
488 GTB was today unveiled in New Delhi at an exclusive
launch which took place at Ferrari's New Delhi Dealership
- Select Cars. Forty years from the original launch of
Ferrari’s iconic first-ever mid-rear-engined V8
berlinetta, the 308, the 488 GTB opens a new chapter in
the history of cars with this particular architecture as
the 488 GTB has set a new benchmark for the sports car
sector globally.
Credit for this achievement must go to the 488 GTB’s
revolutionary proprietary solutions which deliver a car
at the top of its class in terms of power output (670 cv)
with engine and command response times of just 0.8 and
0.06 seconds respectively. Significantly, however,
sophisticated dynamic vehicle controls make this massive
power completely controllable even on the limit by
drivers of all abilities, resulting in the unique driving
pleasure that only a Ferrari can deliver.
Speaking about the new entrant, Mr. Yadur Kapur,
Director, Select Cars Pvt. Ltd. said, “We are delighted
to launch the Ferrari 488 GTB in New Delhi. We have many
loyal Ferrari owners and fans in Northern India and this
new launch allows us to bring them a fantastic new model
in our market. We are confident that we will continue to
create more value for our ever-increasing customer base
with an unprecedented buying experience.”

2. Ferrari drew extensively too on its experience in both
Formula One and endurance racing, bringing to the road
the technology that delivered victory in two editions of
the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the title in the WEC (World
Endurance Championship). Also pivotal was the XX
programme in which Ferrari’s technicians have developed a
unique knowledge of the dynamic behaviour of extreme cars
driven by non-professional drivers.
The 488 in the car’s moniker indicates the engine’s
unitary displacement, while the GTB stands for Gran
Turismo Berlinetta, a reference to its deep roots in
Ferrari history.
Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the 488 GTB’s
sculptural forms are completely new. They accentuate the
car’s sportiness yet retain the classically clean, pure
lines typical of Ferrari’s legendary styling. The
seamless interweaving of form and function is clear in
every detail, in fact. Certain design elements are also
obvious nods to the past, not least the 308 GTB-inspired
styling of the flanks.
The extreme power required by the car is delivered by the
new 3902 cm3 turbo engine which is coupled with a seven-
gear F1 dual-clutch gearbox featuring Variable Boost
Management which optimally distributes torque (a maximum
750 Nm in seventh gear). The 488 GTB guarantees exuberant
performance that is absolutely exploitable to the fullest
regardless of driving conditions and is accompanied by a
deep, seductive soundtrack, the signature of all Ferrari
engines.
The 488 GTB’s revolutionary aerodynamics incorporate
patented solutions, such as the blown rear spoiler, as
well as innovative features like the 458 GT-derived
aerodynamic underbody with vortex generators. The result
is a new efficiency record for a Ferrari (E=1.67).
Downforce increases to 325 kg at 250 km/h, thanks in part
to active aerodynamic devices which reduce drag whilst
simultaneously generating downforce when required.
The 488 GTB’s dynamic vehicle controls have also been
further evolved. It sports a new version of the Side Slip
Control System (SSC2) which, aside from just integrating

3. with the car’s F1-Trac and E-Diff, now also controls the
active dampers. This renders the 488 GTB’s dynamic
behaviour during complex manoeuvres even flatter and more
stable, so that less expert drivers can enjoy its
potential to the fullest, resulting in an astonishingly
engaging driving experience.
