Features of the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider
488 Pista Spider Engine
Powering the 488 Pista Spider is a 90° twin-turbocharged V8 engine that delivers 710 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 568 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm in seventh gear. It’s Ferrari’s most powerful V8 to date engineered with precision and inspired by F1 technology. A repositioned intake system near the rear spoiler minimizes pressure loss, while an all-new intercooler, intake manifold, and carbon-fiber intake plenum optimize airflow. Titanium connecting rods, a lighter crankshaft, and a reduced-mass flywheel contribute to quicker spool-up, giving the Spider razor-sharp throttle response and a sound that stirs the soul.
Ferrari 488 Pista Spider Aerodynamics
Ferrari 488 Pista Spider takes aerodynamic innovation to new heights with solutions drawn directly from Ferrari’s F1 program. A front S-Duct channels airflow efficiently to increase front downforce while sculpting a visually aggressive profile. The front diffuser features an optimized ramp angle to generate strong suction, boosting grip at high speeds. At the rear, a larger blown spoiler both higher and longer has been reshaped for maximum effect, while redesigned underbody vortex generators ensure aerodynamic balance across the chassis. Even the front bumper has been hollowed to improve airflow efficiency. Altogether, these enhancements result in a 20% increase in overall downforce, elevating both performance and driver confidence.
Ferrari 488 Pista Spider Performance
Ferrari 488 Pista Spider doesn’t just feel fast, it defines it.

With a top speed of 211 mph, this is the pinnacle of open-air V8 performance engineered to satisfy those who demand uncompromising speed, control, and emotion behind the wheel.
