Ferrari 488 GTB has been unveiled in Mumbai at an exclusive launch which took place at Ferrari's Mumbai Dealership - Navnit Motors.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 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. Sharad Kachalia, Director,Navnit Motors Pvt. Ltd.commented, “After receiving an overwhelming response for the California T and F12 berlinetta, we are excited to launch Ferrari’s new V8 model to meet the rising demand from our loyal customers and Ferrari fans in Mumbai.”
The 488 in the car’s moniker indicates the engine’s unitary displacement, while the GTB stands for Gran TurismoBerlinetta, 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 3902cc turbo engine which is coupled with a seven-gear F1 dual-clutch gear box 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.
