If you ask a petrolhead to think about a Ferrari's engine, they'll probably have the soundtrack of an operatic V12 playing in their head. Ask them to name their favourite Ferrari car however, and many will no doubt choose that Eighties icon the F40 - the last Prancing Horse model to carry a mid-mounted twin turbo V8. While the F40 used turbos for performance, environmental concerns have these days forced Ferrari down the boosted route in search of efficiency, hence the 4.0-litre turbo V8 unit chosen for this 488 GTB. Sitting above the California T and below the F12, this model is aimed squarely at the junior supercar market that Ferrari has occupied with a mid-engined V8-powered design of some sort ever since 1975. The question is, can the 488 channel its inner F40 - or has Ferrari gone soft?
While many may have panicked when Ferrari announced a turbocharged powerplant for the 458's replacement, we needn't have worried. Sure, this 488 GTB doesn't quite rev as high nor sound quite as spectacular as its predecessor but the truth is that otherwise, this is a better car in every other area. Performance is now stronger than ever, not to mention more accessible thanks to the tidal wave of torque. Plus, for what it's worth, the turbo engine is kinder to the environment. If aural delights are at the top of your wish list, then this car has three impressive competitors in the shape of Lamborghini's Huracan, Mclaren's 650S and Audi's R8. Only a fool though, would discount this 488 merely on account of its relative lack of aural fireworks. After all, this Maranello model is supremely rapid, characterful and surprising efficient and usable. For all these reasons, many will feel that with the 488, Ferrari has reclaimed pole position in the junior supercar market.
