Ferrari 488 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2015–2019) — First Generation
The first-generation Ferrari 488 puts a mid-mounted engine at the heart of its character. Coupe and Roadster bodies let you choose between an enclosed cabin and an open-air driving experience.
The Ferrari 488 engine is a twin-turbocharged gasoline V8, delivering strong pulling power without needing high revs for every burst of acceleration. A dual-clutch transmission sends power to the rear wheels and offers automatic shifting or manual control through paddles, making the powertrain manageable in traffic and responsive when you want more involvement.
