2020 Ferrari 488 Pista

The 488 Pista occupies a specific place in Ferrari's recent lineage — the track-focused culmination of the turbocharged V8 era, developed around the full-fat 711bhp version of the 3.9-litre twin-turbo unit from the 488 Challenge race car rather than a road-going derivative. Titanium internals throughout tighten response and sharpen the rev character, giving the engine a quality that sits closer to a naturally aspirated unit than the spec sheet suggests. The result: 62mph dispatched in 2.9 seconds, 211mph at the top end, and a 90kg weight reduction over the GTB via extensive carbon fibre use and reduced sound deadening.

This 2020 car has covered just 6,980 miles and is specified to an exceptional level. The exterior finish is Blu Le Mans Extra-Range 2-Layer Metallic, complemented by a two-tone livery with Bianco Avus and Rosso Corsa Metallic stripes and matching Blu Medio Alcantara throughout the cabin. The options list is comprehensive: carbon fibre Daytona racing seats, front flaps, rear diffuser, engine covers, instrument cover, upper centre console trim and inner sill trim are all present, alongside titanium exhaust pipes, 20-inch dark forged wheels, 4-point harnesses, a JBL high-power audio system, electrochromic mirrors, and a suspension lifter for real-world use.

The car is UK-supplied with a full Ferrari service history and retains a Ferrari 7-year servicing package valid until January 2027. Paint protection film has been applied to the front end, wing mirrors, roof, lower sills, carbon rear moulding, rear spoiler and rear diffuser — a sensible precaution on a car of this colour and value, and evidence of considered ownership throughout its short life.
